Shapeshift: A New Coloring Book for Adults & Children

 

Just a quick post today, to share a new coloring book that I thought you guys would be interested in!

Shapeshift is a brand new coloring book for adults and children that is seeking funding on Kickstarter.

There have been a LOT of coloring books on Kickstarter — successfully funded and not funded — but this project in particular stands out to me because it’s just such an original idea in the world of coloring Kickstarters.

It is the first coloring book (to my knowledge) that truly allows children and adults to color the same images together. This book features 24 full-page spreads to color, each with an advanced side designed for adult colorists, and a simpler side designed for younger colorists.

The explosion of adult coloring books that started a few years ago gave us so many more coloring options than there were before. But still, since that time, coloring books have been pretty divided: either they were simple, children’s coloring books, or more “advanced,” adult coloring books.

Sure, an adult could choose to color a simpler book, just like a child could choose to color in a more intricate book. And some adult coloring books really toe the line between the two. But not many books could cater to both audiences equally.

Until now, that is.

Check out the launch video for Shapeshift to learn more about the coloring book:

What’s in the Book?

This book has many features designed to appeal to younger and older colorists who want to color together:

24 full-page spreads, with a “kid” side and an “adult” side. Most of the illustrations seamlessly transition from one to the other across the center of the book.

Illustrations on one side only of thick pages. Use pretty much any coloring supplies you’d like, from colored pencils to markers, gel pens to watercolors! The paper is thick enough to withstand bleed-through from most supplies. (It’s always a good idea to test your supplies on a less important page first, though!)

Inspirational quotes for kids and adults. Every other spread in the book is a set of coloring pages. The pages between those — the reverse sides of the coloring pages — feature inspirational quotes. There are 24 quotes for kids, and 24 quotes for adults.

Lay-flat binding. Shapeshift opens a full 180 degrees and features sewn binding, which is the easiest to lay flat and keep open while coloring.

Perforated pages for easy removal and display. Both sides of the illustration end at a perforation in the center of the book. Use the perforations to easily remove your colored pages to put them together for display!

What is Kickstarter?

Shapeshift is a Kickstarter project, which means they are raising money to be able to produce the book, and can only print if they reach their funding goals. They are seeking $7300, and at the time of writing they are already a third of the way there with nearly a month to go.

Kickstarter is the largest crowdfunding platform on the web, which allows creators to bring their ideas to life with the support of others. If you see a project you’d like to help bring to life, you can “back” it with a funding pledge of any size, and you are only charged if they successfully raise their goal.

While you can pledge any amount, there are different reward levels based on how much you pledge! You can get some digital pages from the book along with a few other goodies for as little as $9. Right now, there is an early bird special on the physical book, while supplies last, and you can get ahold of the book for nearly 30% off.
