Bones is Back: A New Family Tradition for Halloween
The spirit of Halloween has taken a fun twist with the incredible emergence of the book and toy set 'Bones is Back: A Family Tradition for Halloween'. Launched on Kickstarter, this imaginative creation has not only captured the hearts of many but also garnered substantial financial support, reaching its funding goal in under an hour!
It is a remarkable achievement for this family-friendly set, created by Dr. Marc Fetscherin, an award-winning author and a father who wanted to bring a new interactive experience to Halloween celebrations. Drawing inspiration from his daughters' playful inquiry regarding a moving skeleton like those associated with Christmas, Fetscherin created Bones, an adorable glow-in-the-dark skeleton that embodies positivity, imagination, and fun.
The Inspiration Behind Bones
Dr. Fetscherin sought to transform Halloween into an engaging adventure for families. He explained that Halloween should be about more than just costumes and candy; it should focus on connections and light-hearted joy for everyone involved. With this vision in mind, 'Bones is Back' was born—a project that blossomed from a simple father-daughter exchange into a cherished tradition.
The book features a beautifully illustrated, full-color hardcover format, packed with rhymes that bring the story of Bones to life. Each day in October, Bones encourages children to engage in playful, imaginative activities, fostering a joyful atmosphere filled with laughter and cherished memories.
A Unique Halloween Offering
What sets 'Bones is Back' apart is its interactive nature. The limited-edition skeleton toy, standing precisely 10.31 inches tall to honor Halloween's spirit, is designed for easy handling and daily play, allowing children the freedom to hug, hold, and move Bones around as they see fit. Unlike the typical 'look but don't touch' holiday characters, Bones invites interaction, promoting creativity and a family-oriented experience.
The set encourages values of positive behavior, inclusiveness, and togetherness, making it an ideal choice for households with various backgrounds and traditions. With a mission to unite families through joyous Halloween traditions, the creators of Bones are keen to see it become a staple in households across the world.
Great Reception and Exciting Future
In just two days, the Kickstarter campaign skyrocketed to over 300% of its initial funding goal, signaling a clear demand for innovative Halloween experiences. The project has also captured the attention of the media and social media platforms alike, with the Instagram account @bones_is_back amassing over 5,700 followers in a short span.
Already a winner of multiple book awards, including recognition from Creative Child Magazine and The BookFest®, 'Bones is Back' has the potential to become a beloved household name in Halloween traditions, joining the ranks of treasured holiday figures.
For families, this book and toy combination is the perfect addition to the Halloween season, making it an ideal gift for celebrations, birthdays, or early holiday gifting. The Kickstarter campaign is set to provide early backers with exclusive pricing and bonuses, showcasing the commitment to community involvement from the pen of this devoted father.
As excitement builds, Dr. Fetscherin and his family remain passionate about delivering joyful experiences that create bonds among families during the spirited season of Halloween. The hope is that 'Bones' will not just be a fantastic toy or a storybook but an entire experience—one that embraces the whimsical nature of Halloween fun.
