This fun tool allows kids to leave a trail of chalk where ever they ride their bike or scooter. The product was invented by Scott Baumann and is currently on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easyway) and looking for backers. The device works by simply clipping the plastic attachment, which was designed to fit any size wheel, to the back of the bike or scooter; then, just slip the [piece of chalk](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woset) into the holder and zoom down the road. What is left behind is a long and colorful trail showing your exact path. While this invention doesn't use any kind advanced technology, it's sure to be a hit with kids because it allows them to take part in "artivity," as Baumann says. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Outdoor Toys:** Opportunity for new interactive toys that combine physical activity with creativity. - **Innovative Children's Products:** Market for innovative gadgets and devices specifically designed for children. - **Childhood Art Experiences:** Demand for products that encourage artistic expression and creativity during childhood. ### Where This Applies - **Toy Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to design and produce interactive toys for outdoor play. - **Children's Entertainment:** Opportunity to develop new forms of entertainment that combine physical activity and artistic expression. - **Outdoor Sports Equipment:** Potential for integrating chalk-based technology into existing outdoor sports equipment, encouraging creativity during play. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Motorcycle-Training Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorcycletraining-gadgets-rawrrs-wheelie-helper-is-the-perfect-practice-to.md) - [Bean-Shaped Vibrant Chalks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bean-chalk.md) - [Designer Kids Training Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Costway-Kids-Bike.md) - [STEM-Inspired Balance Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-bike1.md) - [Customizable Kids Wall Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodleface.md) - [Mess-Free Eco Craft Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-n-colour.md) - [Additional Bike Seat Addons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazam-co-pilot-bike-trailer.md) - [AI Kid's Coloring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorcraft-ai.md) - [Child-Friendly Balance Training Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super73-k1d.md)
