Wild in Art is working with North Lincolnshire Council to create the trail, which has previously been staged in cities such as Birmingham and Leeds.
Council leader Rob Waltham described the event as “playful, welcoming and designed around families”.
“It’s a nationally recognised trail, but what really matters is what it means locally – getting people out and about, supporting businesses and creating memories,” he said.
The project is part of the council’s Year of Reading, which is being supported by libraries, museums, schools and community groups.
In addition to the trail, eight schools and organisations will have an opportunity to design and decorate their own bear cub sculptures.
The trail will launch on 11 July with a storytelling event at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre between 10:00 and 14:00 BST.
