Have you ever been bored silly sitting in the doctor’s office where they only carry magazines that are 4 years old? You look around and everyone is distracted by their phones or worse, staring at you or maybe they are just looking at the ceiling?

Connect-the-dot puzzles which, for some reason, are no longer mainstream, provide a relaxing and fun activity in those small awkward moments. By combining these puzzles on a small sticky note pad, we’ve made them portable and available for multiple uses. Use them as ordinary sticky notes to jot down grocery lists, take messages, love notes, etc. But the creativity doesn’t stop there!

We’ve created Cats With Hats sticky notes for all of our feline-loving friends! You can complete the connect-the-dots puzzle, add artistic flair by doodling and colouring, then creating a story line around your fashionable feline.

If you love these, just imagine how much your kids will also enjoy completing and colouring these puzzles. These can be used in the car, while you’re shopping or to amuse them while you’re busy taking that important phone call. Along with basic numerical understanding, kids will also be using and improving their hand-eye coordination skills. With the compact size, portability and 50 sheets per pad, you can provide hours of amusement and entertainment. Your children will love them!

But the applications don’t stop there! If you are someone who works with children in classrooms, camps, scouting, extra-curricular activities, these sticky notes are an ideal, unique and cost-effective method for creating incentives and rewards. Not only can these be used as a simple replacement for that “standard” gold star or sticker, but they promote creativity and learning.

And now a little bit about us. This is our first Kickstarter campaign and our idea was inspired by watching a kitten playing with a strap-on birthday hat. The expression of distain on the kitten’s face was priceless. I was jotting some notes down for a meeting and doodling, when that poor kitten’s face with that silly hat on his head popped into my mind. I started giggling and thinking, “wouldn’t it be great to have a line of doodle notes dedicated to cats with silly hats?” A couple of iterations and some painstakingly hand-made prototypes later, Cats With Hats was born. We’d love to be able to bring this project to life and possibly expand to a full line of feline sticky notes incorporating stylish hats and humorous chapeaus.
