# Bear-Shaped Notebooks This Fun Coloring Book for Kids Doubles as a Dress-Up Game By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-06-01 | Life-Stages Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fun-coloring-book References: [blog.mrprintables](http://blog.mrprintables.com/draw-your-own-teddy-bear/) & [rockandpebble](http://rockandpebble.com/shop/the-teddy-bear-book/) 'The Teddy [Bear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/polar-bear-oversized-plush-cuddle-animal-body-pillow) Book' by [Rock & Pebble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-rock-and-roll-playhouse) is a fun coloring book that combines the fun of doodling in a notebook with creating outfits for paper dolls. The entire notebook takes the shape of a teddy bear and each blank interior page follows suit, enabling kids to create a different colorful teddy bear character on each page. Like this imaginative coloring book from Rock & Pebble, there's also The Dollhouse Book, which follows the same premise and uses a unique cover shape to inspire kids to create themed interior drawings. In order to compete with digital media, traditional pen and paper crafts are being reinvented for a new generation of kids and adults alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Revamped Art Supplies:** Innovative product designs that merge traditional drawing with interactive creativity will be taking over the school supplies industry. - **Interactive Notebooks:** With the revival of traditional pen and paper crafts, notebooks that double as playful interactive games are becoming a growing trend. - **DIY Customization:** The popularity of customizable paper doll coloring books is a promising area for leveraging a customizable craft trend that spans across several children and adult markets. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Stationery Supplies:** Innovative designs for kids drawing and school supplies will be in high demand as more parents emphasize the value of hands-on experiences. - **Toy Manufacturing:** The toy manufacturing industry can leverage this trend to create interactive and educational toys that encourage children to use their creativity. - **Book Publishing:** The popularity of interactive coloring books combined with a new emphasis on hands-on learning experiences provides opportunities for innovative publishing concepts that cater to playful educational materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toddler Development Activity Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-quiet-book-activity-book.md) - [Kid-Friendly Digital Coloring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paletteplayart.md) - [Modular Refillable Notebook Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system.md) - [Forest-Inspired Screenless Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/screenless-toys.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Reverse Coloring Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-coloring-book.md) - [Book-Themed Plush Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchkins-book-plushies.md) - [Customizable Kids Stationery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taggeez.md) - [Book-Themed Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/booksy.md)
