Simple STEM Supplies

I swear I’m not a hoarder but I DO collect empty paper towel rolls and toilet paper tubes…

In fact, I have a whole DRAWER of them.

When you think of STEM supplies, cardboard tubes probably AREN’T the first thing to pop into your mind. Most people picture fancier tools like special-order science supplies and expensive engineering kits.

But for kids – especially YOUNG kids – we actually have most of the supplies we need already!

We can use simple box of toothpicks and playdough to create 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes.

(The STEM challenge is a simple but powerful way to help kids learn about vertices, edges, faces and other geometry terms.)

Or pull out LEGOS and challenge students to create replicas of famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Egyptian Pyramids…

STEM isn’t about being fancy – it’s about learning how to make predictions, problem solve, build and refine. It’s about the PROCESS, not the product.

And that means that we can hoard collect as many toilet paper tubes as our drawers will fit. #KiddingNotKidding

  1. I would use the stem activities to engage my students and allow them the opportunity to problem solve.

  2. I love these! I would use them with my two daughters, ages 5 and 6.5, in our homeschool. They love to build, create, and explore!

  3. How will I use the stem activities:
    Strategize
    Training
    Excellent
    Motivation

    And challenge my students to continually build their schema. Great ideas.

  4. I love these activities because they are great for motivating collaboration, problem solving skills and lots of hands on learning with my students. I would use them for morning activity time, centres and “Exploring our world” time.

  5. I will use them with my “endless”ly curious K and Gr 1 sons in our homeschooling (and someday with little brother and baby sister!).

  6. These are ideal tools to help a child build self confidence through practicality, problem solving and imagination and enhances group work or independent tasks.
