National parks enthusiasts, nature lovers, and explorers of the great outdoors, I think that you’re going to love this awesome National Parks Explorers Guide by the clever and creative peeps at Ello There. The canvas printed guide (20″ x 24″) is an illustrated map of all of the national parks in the United States, with an alphabetical list of each park printed beneath and numbered tree graphics that show you where each park is located. The map comes with a sheet of colorful tree stickers that you add to the map as a visual check mark to show that you’ve visited a park. So cool!
And you can also purchase a coordinating Explorer’s Patch to go with your super cool map. Matching patches = totally awesome! I don’t know where my love of patches comes from – maybe my years as a Brownie, or perhaps from the scene in one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies, Troop Beverly Hills (featuring a very permed and red-haired Shelley Long), where the Wilderness Girls design their own patches to match their Beverly Hills-centric skills – but I really do have a soft spot for neato patches.
