From educational bath Bombs to social media dolls this list of March 2019 youth trends explores all the ways in which brands are shifting focus to appeal to a slightly younger demographic.
This list contains numerous examples of brands' attempts to appeal to a social media-savvy generation, offering products and services that are educational, engaging and connective. Prime examples of this include the #SNAPSTAR dolls, which arrive with a compatible app for users to share all the various poses and outfits they've created for their dolls. On a similar note, Bandai's Bandages for Kids leverage AR to help kids feel better about wearing a bandage. Once the bandage has been applied, the wearer will be able to see distracting and adorable images that come to life through one's smartphone lens.
