Yay, more STEM/STEAM activities here to share with you!

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics. We believe that these subjects are worth investing into because they will help change the world.

This is part 13 of our 365 day challenge to share 20 more STEM/STEAM-related kid activities with you all.

We wish you fun and learning!

241. US Map Puzzle

Puzzles are a great teaching tool. We love travel and we often talk to our kid about the different states in the US. She surprised us by putting the puzzle together, almost entirely on her own when she was 3.5 years.

242. Sushi Night

Sushi nights are super fun! We had a wonderful time making our own sushi using the Sushezi tool. And the best part? You get to choose whatever ingredients you want to put into it.

243. Chemistry Periodic Table Cards

A tool you can use to introduce the Periodic Table elements to your kid. You can find these cards on Amazon or make your own.

244. Museum Train Display

We went to an amazing train museum and it had real-life trains to look at, as well as a picture displaying the various parts of the steam train.

245. Parachute Group Games

These parachutes are really popular among teachers. You can use them to teach colors, speed differences and even counting.

246.

There are many types of wooden building planks like KEVA planks. They tend to be hardy and great for building fine motor skills as well as engineering creativity.

247. Electric Car

Point out technological advances to your kid when you see them on the street. It helps to stretch their imagination and vision for the future.

248. Crater Lake, Oregon

We visited stunning Crater Lake in Oregon. There was a visitors site video explaining how the lake came to be, and how its landscape was shaped over time by weather changes.

249. Boat Challenge

We tried to make boats that could sail the fastest out of simple materials. We used a plastic takeaway container cover, plastic straws, craft sticks, cellotape and paper (for the sails). My boat was the fastest but not the most stable. In fact, when we added LEGO figures to the boats, mine turned over! My kid’s one stayed up admirably, although it collected water after a while. We got a second chance to fix defects in the boats but my boat was a sunk case!

250. Planting

After our successful kid biz experiment selling fruits (and because we love eating harvest from our own garden), we decided to add more inventory to our garden. Spring is often a good time to plant. Our kid helped out with the soil preparation and planting and had a lot of fun.

251. Felt Math

These felt Math pieces are not only fun but they also teach Math & counting. If you are crafty, you can make your own felt crafts or buy them online or at Target.

252. Snake Cube Puzzle

The Snake Cube puzzle is great for the young and old. You can manipulate it into different shapes and puzzles- great for creativity! Unlike LEGO (another great toy for creativity), it doesn’t leave pieces all over the place because it stays linked.

253. Domino Math

If you have dominoes, you can use them to teach numbers and counting too. I also had magnetic numbers and combined them. You can use these to teach addition and subtraction.

254. Homemade Maracas

Fill a plastic Easter egg with rice or beans and use tape to wrap two plastic spoons around it to hold it at the top and at the bottom. Voila! Your own maracas.

255. Amazon Prime Science Songs

If you are a member of Amazon Prime, you will have access to Amazon Music. Search there for Kids Science songs.

256. Visual Math

A great way to introduce simple Math to your kid is to use visual representation. Here, we used pizza erasers to correspond with numbers. Eg, for subtraction, take away the number of pizza pieces and reveal how many pizza pieces are left.

257. Fork Art

Another creative way to do art. Use a plastic fork instead of a paintbrush to create leaves on a tree.

258. Nature Hunt Activity

I decided to create my own outdoor nature activity. I collected samples from our backyard and invited the kids to go on a nature hunt to look for these objects.

259. LEGO Interactive Display

We found this interactive display in a LEGO shop. It’s always nice when there’s a lot of LEGO play opportunities for kids to keep them engaged.

260. Earthquake Model

We got to experience an earthquake simulation in a museum. Right outside it is a towering volcano display that looks like it is spewing lava and ash. It somehow made the simulation more real and added to the whole experience.
