Crafty Marker Scissors

The ColorCutter ShapeShark Transforms Doodles into Creative Cutouts

— March 26, 2015 — Life-Stages
You could apply decoration and shape simultaneously to basic paper while using these clever marker scissors. Invented by Perry Teri Toys, this product combines an inky coloring implement with a small safety blade and ergonomic grips, doubling up your crafting potential with each artistic stroke.

The collection of vivid drawing utensils comes with eight colors so kids have the freedom to picture anything that they like. True paper crafting can come out of the natural act of scribbling, slicing each line that you make with the smoothness of your freehand movement. Outlines can be excised from the page and patterns like spirals can be drawn out into 3D creations. The ColorCutter ShapeShark is a next-level pencil case implement that converges two tools in one.
Trend Themes
1. Combination Tools - The ColorCutter ShapeShark combines coloring and cutting tools, highlighting an opportunity for other integrations.
2. 3D Crafting - The ColorCutter ShapeShark allows for the creation of 3D paper designs, demonstrating a growing interest in this type of crafting.
3. Childhood Creativity - The ColorCutter ShapeShark, designed for kids, reflects a trend towards encouraging creativity and artistic expression in children.
Industry Implications
1. Arts and Crafts - Arts and crafts companies could create their own combination coloring and cutting tools to appeal to a wider variety of customers.
2. Toy Manufacturing - Toy companies could integrate more 3D crafting possibilities into their products, capitalizing on the popularity of this type of activity.
3. Educational Materials - Education material companies could create more products that foster creativity and artistic expression in children, drawing on the growing interest in this area.
