If you’re looking for easy-to-follow, engaging STEM challenges (science, technology, engineering and math) your kids will beg to repeat over and over again, you’ve come to the right spot! These epic activities are packed with kid-tested challenges that build problem solving, teamwork and (of course!) STEM skills.
Grab more than 150+ motivating STEM challenges in our shop or on Teachers Pay Teachers. And to keep the fun going, check out our 30 Science Experiments (complete with a no prep journal to keep track of results) in our shop!
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

I own this bundle already and love it! If I did win the giveaway, I would gift it to a friend who is struggling to get educational materials together for her oldest since her youngest is in and out of the hospital.
Oooh, this would be great for my K/1 class, to inspire and support all my little builders!
Love these activities.
This would be great to use for so many things: rainy days, extending our learning, problem solving. The list goes on! ?
I would use this with my preschooler since I homeschool her.
If I won this bundle, I oiled certainly use it in my class for my science lessons. I love that the materials are so easily accessible! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
These activities would be used as stations for the SOAR after school tutoring program in Detroit to extend the learning challenge for our students. We love the hands on approach to keep our students engaged.
It would be great to fuel my oldest appetite to understand how the world works.
I teach a mixed age preschool lab, daily reaching 3/4/5 years olds. STEM is the only way to create lessons that are multisensory meeting the needs of my multiple intelligences learners. And most of all… it’s fun!
My kids are going to LOVE THIS! First time in first grade and these STEM challenges are easily worked into our day as fast finisher buckets, or as lessons on their own. Would love to win.
I’m teaching math to second class and have a real advanced and smart group among them if I win the bundle I’m going to create a kit for them to challenge them and enriched their skills.
Thanks
Thank you for the opportunity to win a treasure chest of STEM learning explorations that will surely fuel curiosity as well as enrich young children’s experiences in our program. Good luck to everyone!
I’m so excited about this contest because I have been eyeing the stem materials for some time! I am homeschooling my three daughters and two of them fall within this age range. I firmly believe girls especially need to be encouraged in the field of engineering. My father is an engineer and tries to help the girls to get excited about this topic, and these materials would really help!
I am a new Montessori teacher and would love to incorporate more hands on activities in my classroom. Am always looking for new inspiration. These activities would definitely help to capture my students interests and make learning come alive in a variety of ways.
If I win this set, I would use it to extend my science and math lessons to build on my my kinder kids curiosity of how the world works.
I would use this bundle with my K/1 Deaf and Hard of Hearing children to build their inquiry skills and academic vocabulary. I already have your endless guided reading bundle and love it so I would love to have this bundle too!
I am a new graduate currently looking for a job. I am starting to look for and collect resources for my classroom. I hope to teach in a K-2 classroom. This bundle would be a big help to me in getting started!
Explore with my four year olds!! Amazing opportunities for learning!
My Kindergarten students at a new start-up charter school would LOVE these activities!!!
My class is creative, inventive and up for the challenge!!! These materials totally support our philosophy for teaching these young learners!!!
I love your materials. I already own this bundle, but if I win I would love to give it to a teacher friend who is incorporating more STEM projects in her 1st grade class.
First if all THANK YOU for this awesome opportunity. I teach K … when I get this bundle (if I don’t win it, I will certainly get it)… I’d definitely use the 2-D/3-D toothpick shapes …. hands-on learning is the way to go … I also LIVE the craft stick challenges to make them “think”!!… and challenge them to use their marination
I’d use this with my 12 preschoolers!
I have an after school program with a group of students chosen by their teachers to experience activities they may not be able to afford and would use this kit during this time.
I would use it with my first-grade boy. He is always thinking and trying to figure things out. This looks right up his alley! Thank you!
I teach pre-k and LOVE to show my students that science is ALL AROUND them and when they put science, imagination and creativity together LOTS of “magic” can happen.
This set looks amazing. I want to do all of these activities myself! I know that my kiddos would love this. We are doing much more “play” in kindergarten this year end this fits the bill perfectly.
I work with gifted kindergarten students. This would be AWESOME to use with them to enhance my curriculum. I am always looking for something to challenge their young minds.
This would be amazing in my Pre-K classroom! STEM is an area that I struggle to find engaging activities and these would be PERFECT! I can see my kids getting excited with trying to figure out the concepts presented with the different activities! Thank you for the opportunity to win! Good luck to everyone!
LEARNING
I would use these in our new “Wonder” center. 🙂
These are fabulous! I love the diversity of activities.
I would love to incorporate a STEM center in my first grade class!!
What an awesome bundle of activities. I would first use them as a “Buddy Activity”with our 3rd grade buddies(I teach 1st). This introduction would then allow my students to work independently and in small group during stations or guided math.
Hi Malia,
What a generous giveaway! I would LOVE this packet to use at our homechool co-op with our early elementary group. Thanks for this opportunity. You are very creative and we love your website.
Blessings!
I would love to win this bundle for my first grade classroom. It will help my students with their curiosity and creativeness. It will also help me to have ideas right at my fingertips so that my students can engage in stem activities on a regular basis.
I would love to use these engaging activities with my kindergarten class. These would be great for differentiation or extension during small groups and/or student centered activities.
I love that not only are these STEM, but include social studies (famous landmarks) and help kids use their fine motor muscles. I would use these with my kindergartners in centers or whole group with materials for small groups to be working on the challenges. I’d love to do something along the lines of a “Minute to Win It” challenge as the kids understood the concept(s) and could then challenge each other. Fun!!
I would love to use these with my grade ones, even if modified a bit. They would also be great for providing differentiation and challenge for the students who need more!
This year I am attempting to create opportunities for more play-based, hands on learning in my classroom. This STEM bundle will be perfect to supplement the materials I have in my room! If I win it I will use it to help students solve problems and think about things in different ways!
What an awesome bundle that can be used both with my 7 year old and 4 year old!! Homeschooling for us is such a customized learning path and a few less items to create myself is a wonderful way to remain peaceful in the fast pace of holidays time!! My children love all things hands on and this would fit the bill marvelously! Thank you for the opportunity!!
I love stem ideas and would really like to incorporate more stem into my classroom. I think the endless bundle would be perfect.
I would use the activities to build science concepts in my classroom.
I nanny 7 and 9 year old boys, and my 6 year old daughter is just beginning to LOVE science experiments, so I am always looking for cool things for us to do together! This would be AMAZING!
I am SO excited to see these STEM projects. I teach 4, 5 and 6 year olds at a homeschool co-op. I am constantly having to come up with creative ways to teach maths, science and geography to a group kids, some of whom cannot yet read. They could ALL participate in these core subjects using these ideas. I think my favourite is using this tool for geography. I am always showing my kids photos and videos of the countries we study each week. I want them to get a feel for the culture, cuisine, and the landmarks so they can remember each place. Creating these famous buildings and monuments out of LEGO is truly inspiring. WELL DONE Malia! You inspire me to be a better teacher. Thank you. 🙂
This pack includes so many wonderful ideas! my little ones would be able to spend hours using their imagination instead of sitting in front of the TV!
I would use the bundle to have “STEM Challenge Friday” every week in my kindergarten classroom.
I would use this with my 20 prek students. My students are very curious, they like to observe and find an answer to their questions. I think this set will help them so much! ?
I’d use this with my 4 year old preschool kids and with my 1st & 2nd graders at home 🙂
A lot of learning can happen with all the seemingly low cost and fun STEM activities, with my First Grade Class!
I would love to use these STEM activities in my classroom as learning stations! My students will love these interesting and engaging activities.
My kindergartener would love this! Everyday she begs to do a science experiment. I can hardly keep up with her excitement for learning.
My kids love science experiments.
I would use this amazing set stretch the brains of my students!
Teaching a new stem class this year and this bundle would be amazing!
I am a 1st grade teacher and have the gifted and talented cluster in my classroom. I would use these STEM activities to extend and challenge their learning in Math, Science and Language Arts. I would make them available to my other students as well during station time. I have an imaginative group of students this year that loves to build and create when provided the opportunity. Thank you for the wonderful ideas! Christy
My students eat up STEM challenges like they are a Thanksgiving feast. I would use these for our Friday STEM hours and to set up STEM bins for early finishers and as a center.
I love your stuff and your style! I have my own kids and a pre school and i teach a science camp every summer. I would love your resources to enhance the learning opportunity of my kids.
I work with ages 3-11. I think this would be perfect for all of those ages. Seeing the wheels turn in their heads is a way I know that they are really thinking and taking the time to figure out how to solve each problem.
The pre primary children love to play and make things this gives me so many options and ideas to give them lots of learning while having fun.
I love these science stem ideas. I teach in a classroom of students with disabilities (autism, intellectual, Downs, SLD etc) and could really use some hands on learning activities to engage them. I love how they are broken down and the visuals that accompany them.
I love how the challenges get the kids to work together, listen to each other and solve problems. I have used STEM building challenges in K, 1st and 3rd. All successful!! I love these ideas.
I have students who are 5 and 6 years old . These STEM activities would make their lessons super interesting, challenging and fun! 🙂
STEM activities provide such a great introduction to young children to get them inspired and interested in these subjects. Make learning fun!
I would use this bundle to engage both my boys in hands on learning that they already enjoy and allow thematic show their creations to their baby sister and with time help her learn with them as well.
This would be a great opportunity for my first grades to get hands on experience.
These STEM activities could add an even more engaging component to my lessons. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would use these STEM activities weekly with my afterschool friends. They would love them! I have kindergartners through 5th graders after school. I would umagine that many of the activities could be used with my morning preschool class also. Its always interesting to me to see-hear a preschoolers thoughts and ideas on something versus the way the school age children view them. I also like that STEM activities offer opportunity for buulding teamwork skills.
I would use the STEM packag during my center time to engage my students and to encourage them to explore and learn.
This is so exciting! I have been looking for a way to follow up our STEM teachers lessons in the classroom. My school has STEM for a special starting in 4K.
These would make a wonderful motivational tool to keep my nephew’s (who I tutor weekly) curiosity and love of all things science and math related peaked.
My kindergarten son is in desperate need of a challenge that he thinks is fun. He takes an engineering class once a week and I would love this bundle to continue his learning at home! Plus his two little brothers would be able to join in one day too!
What child wouldn’t love these challenges. I would use these challenges to engage students while working in cooperative groups. The materials are inexpensive but the experiences are priceless. Thanks for the chance to win this great product for my classroom.
We do not currently have a science curriculum at our school and are piloting multiple programs but it is not going well. This bundle would help me to integrate more science into our school day!
My son loves hands on activities and would definitely enjoy this pack.
Just what every inquisitive child needs to keep them learning while playing!
We have not had the opportunity to try any cool stem activities yet and would be thrilled to try some. Thank you.
I would use the STEAM activities to help my kindergarteners get excited about the Sciences. This bundle would be a great way to help connect the sciences with our other content and show them how everything can be science and exploration. My students have enjoyed doing the few science activities we have done and have been begging to do more. Great activities that are developmentally appropriate for my young learners.
I need this bundle for the BRIGHT minded students in my special education classroom! I bring in as many STEM activities as I possibly can to stimulate their thinking and provide FUN and INTERESTING learning experiences.
I have two little boys who love creating! My oldest has such a big imagination, and his little brother can and will make a snake or crocodile out of whatever he is given. 🙂
I teach kindergarten. I love your STEM challenges. I would love to incorporate them in centers!
I am a Pre-K teacher for 3 to 5 year olds. Looking at all the activities I know that my boys,(which I have mostly) would be very excited and engaged in these activities instead of wrestling. Also at my school we are trying to incorporate more STEM activities and I am finding that this is not my strong suite! I am excited to try some of the activities on Monday!
I would use popsicle sticks to teach geometrical forms in Math.
I would use it to teach my 25 kindergarten students, They need to know that there are uses for S.T.E.A.M in the coal fields of Eastern Kentucky. These low income kids need every option as possible.
Wonderful ideas. I teach multi- age summer program. These ideas will be wonder to try.
I have been eyeing this set for a few weeks now! I have not come across anything else like it!! This would be so loved by my own children, ages 4, 6 & 8, and I would also use some activities with some Kindergarten/1st Grade boys at our homeschool coop.
These activities look so fun! I think my boys would really enjoy them.
The school I work at has a STEM program so these activities would be a great way to incorporate more STEM projects into my daily centers.
I want my students to become better thinkers and creators through activities like these!
So cool! I’d use this bundle in my resource room.
I absolutely LOVE your resources! I have not done any STEM activities like yours with my grade 2 class, and would be thrilled to get this package! As it is, just scrolling through has inspired me (I think I will try the straw maze during explorations today!). I will keep my fingers and toes crossed that I win! Thank you for this opportunity and HAPPY BLACK FRIDAY! Deni
I love the cookie parachute. It would be fun to incorporate as a team builder during our gingerbread man unit! These activities would also be fun to do with our big buddies!
I LOVE what I see here. My students love hands on work and these would be wonderful for our class. These activities would also work well for collaborative projects engaging my students in conversations and helping them grow in their social and emotional skills. My students love building with Legos and the ideas you have using pictures of buildings is a great way to help them build on their critical thinking skills. As they begin to work with the pictures they will soon have ideas of their own to try and go with it. One of my favorites you have, as simple as it may seem to me, are the Popsicle stick designs. The students love using pop sticks to create art, but they have never used them to copy an image they do see. This would be great to add as a manipulative for carpet play or simply in science or math centers. Thanks for sharing these with us. 🙂
I teach Kindergarten in a school in North Carolina that has over 80%free and reduced meals. (Just a little socioeconomic background fyi) This is my twentieth year teaching and I have decided to “master” STEM/STEAM and not just let it be another educational acronym. So I just wrote and received 2 grants from my county for stem activities. One for Lakeshore’s fairytale Stem kits : that take the fairytale and then give the children challenges like to build a stronger chair so that goldilocks can’t break it, and one for Learning resource When I Grow Up stem kits: that encourage the children to dress up like a civil engineer, archeologist, or environmental scientist. I would love to also have your amazing activities so that I have activities that can be incorporated into daily classroom centers to help my children think like problem solvers and work together like teammates. (Sorry, if this was a bit wordy… You know how passionate we teachers get!)
My kids would do excited to try the STEM activities especially the toothpick 3D shapes , this would be such a valuable addition to our materials . Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway .
I teach Kindergarten and I’ve just starting implementing STEM activities in my classroom during center time. I have created 16 STEM boxes (so far) using various materials and I have a lot of your task cards hung on rings for the kids to use as inspiration. They were so excited when they saw me filling the boxes with different materials! I would love to incorporate STEM into small group activities, as well. Love the gumdrop structures and the cookie parachute! Thanks for the inspiration!
Our students work in pairs to complete STEM challenges.Tis pack would give our students additional opportunities to collaborate. We also offer early finishers access to STEM activities. Thanks for the give away.
love these activities-will “bring to life” physics and chemistry concepts for my special education students.
I love STEM activities and I am always looking for new ideas. STEM challenges bring out the best in my students; they are engaged, motivated, unafraid to take risks, and able to communicate. I would love to add this bundle to my classroom!
These activities would excite my students to explore and want to learn more!
Ohh, how I would use this bundle.. I would do a weekly stem activity with my prek students. It’s hands on, exciting, and best of all the work is done for me, so I can focus on reaching.
I really try to make everything I do with young children hands on. Hopefully they will still love stem when they move up. Once their off to kindergarten, there’s not a lot of hands-on anything.
I have already used the 2d and 3d shape cards for the school’s curriculum night. My table was a huge hit!! Even with the intermediate kids.
I am new to the STEM activities and have been trying to incorporate them in my whole group teaching as well as centers for exploration for the students. Since my district has provided little training in my grade (kindergarten) I have been having to find activities that are easy to follow but challenging in problem solving for my students. This set would help me as a teacher to get my feet firmly planted around the STEM concept while making it simple and easy to collect materials needed for each challenge. I would love to have this set and would feel comfortable and at ease using it especially now that I am getting my feet wet with STEM.
My middle school students with special needs would love these! I can see doing some of these with our mainstream helper friends. I am always looking for ways to incorporate the regular middle school curriculum in modified, hands on formats.
We have a school in Uganda and I would use it by adapting it to have activities able to be done with local resources. Trial things at our school and then have others do it in other schools. This is what we are doing in a lit of areas and this package looks ideally suited to our needs.
I would love to use this with my preschoolers and my own children. You ladies are amazing.
I wouldn’t love to win this bundle to use with a coworker with our already made group of 5th grade stem kids that meet in Tuesday’s afterschool. By winning this awesome bundle we would be able to open up our stem days on Tuesdays to not just 5th graders but our younger ones also! This product looks great!
My oldest is starting to dislike the academic teaching at his school. This program would give me the opportunity to show him how learning is fun and creative. He learns through hands on rather than talking to him.
I am a beginning teacher looking to build a great collection of activities for my students and students to come. This bundle could help me in my centers by providing another hands on activity that can foster learning. It is so important to be able to allow students to manipulate with their hands to build fine motor skills, but to also be involved in STEM as well!
I would use this pack for family fun nights and in our daily learning! It looks like so much fun!!!
My kids seem to only learn when they are working with their hands! This will definitely help my littles learn!
I would like it for homeschooling my five awesome kiddos and for after school projects for the kids I babysit … ages 0 to 10
My son is in Kindergarten.His curriculum lacks in STEM activities. This bundle will expose him to fun,challenging activities that he will love and teach him very important skills.
This bundle is A-NAMING! I particularly love the Lego landmark challenge. It’s a great way to integrate STEM into social studies! Older students can also practice math to determine the perimeter and volume.
I love incorporating STEM activities into my themes in my classroom. It’s a great way to “sneak” in science standards in a way that is engaging and hands on!
These kits are wonderful! I would use them in my school-aged geography and future weekly kid zone library programming and would share others with my colleague who does elementary science programming. Love your blog!
I do weekly STEM activities with my grandchildren -ages 4 and 6. As a former Pre-K teacher I know the importance of hands on exploration and early introduction to science and math activities. My daughter-in-law often asks where I find the activities we do – she wants to use them in her Kindergarten classroom! Thank you for free activities and your bundles on TPT.
I would LoVE to have this for our homeschool…some really great ideas! I really like the popsicle stick word puzzles?
I would use them in my science club I have after school. I want to encourage science in all my students especially my girls. Thanks you for the opportunity to win this.
I would use this as a part of our Forces and Structures unit in my classroom. I have a student who is a non-reader who excels at building and can effectively communicate his learning through building. I hope to give him the opportunity to be a leader in the classroom to support his confidence and self-assurance.
Work with low socioeconomic kindergarteners who would greatly benefit from these valuable hands-on math and science projects.
These look so fun! I would use them with my Kinders in my classroom for experiment Tuesdays!
I am looking to start an after school activity based around STEM activities. This pack would be perfect for running some awesome centers in the after school club. Goooo STEM challenges!!
I would use these STEM activities with my special needs students. They love STEAM/STEAM challenges and have learned to listen to each other, offer suggestions, try new things, and work together. These will help improve their self-confidence and make them feel proud of themselves.
This bundle is perfect for my homeschooled son who loves all STEM activities especially anything he can build. It is also perfect for our homeschool co-op where I teach STEM activities.
I would use these for hands on science activities for SPEd JH aged students.
These activities would be perfect for independent centers in my Special Ed classroom. It provides the visuals that my students need for support with the hands on manipulatives that allows them to be successful.
Enrichment and engagement… this would play in so well for my inclusion classroom. Students with disabilities can shine in STEM activities in a way that they sometimes cannot in other content areas. This gives them a chance to feel success and work together with their peers.
I have been trying to incorporate a stem challenge into my weekly lessons on Friday. The kids love it and have done so well with working together to solve the challenge!
I would use these STEM activities in my PreK classroom. I have several non traditional learners and these activities would be beneficial for them and others.
I would love this pack. It has so many great ideas that I can use during enrichment time each day. IT will help the students with problem solving and working together to create something.
Rotations
I teach on a class with 6 boys with difficulties managing and regulation their emotions. Your bundle would allow students to work on fun jobs while learning at the same time. The hands on activities are perfect for them! I have used your freebies and loved them! Thanks for all the awesome activities!
The STEM activities are a dream come true for this grandma of 4. My grands are always asking me to do activities with them, and this would give me an endless supply of ideas to challenge their growing minds and hearts!
Lacking STEM in our curriculum and I would love to help enhance our Kindergartener’s inquisitive nature that STEM brings out. We are looking at full day K and I think this would be an incredible pack to support the transition to more science/math time.
I would use it with my sons to help them foster more stem applications
I would use this bundle in my busy Grade 1 classroom for morning tubs, some of the activities in my objects and material units, some activities in math or on days when we just need to do something fun (but educational!)
I would use this bundle in my MakerSpace. The MakerSpace is housed in the library for students in K-1.
To engage my 4th graders, prior to starting a mini-unit.
This would be perfect for my class. We’re trying to be more intentional as an entire school in doing more STEM!!!
I live in the UK and I would use the endless STEM pack to challenge my 5 (going on 6) year old after school. He loves the lessons plans and packs that I have downloaded so far. I feel like you can never have enough STEM learning.
I would use the STEM activities to help my kids who are kinesthetic learners.
I love independent STEM activities such as these! They are great for keeping my homeschool students busy & learning while I’m working one-on-one with another student.
I would use this at center time and at a small group time. I would use it at center time to see what the children would do on their own. Then I would utilize it in a small group to provide a small amount of input and see where the children would take it!
We love using these activities in our discovery, math, and science stations when home schooling and prepping our girl for kindergarten. She adores the hands-on activities that really challenge her to think. We’d love to win this give away! Thanks for all you do!
I am looking for more engaging activities to do with my firsties that incorporate STEM. This would be an amazing opportunity for them to “show what they know” and share their learning with their classmates. I would love to use this right after lunch. It would be a great way to get them engaged after recess!
I would use this in centers. Right now in my room we have no STEM activities and this would be a great addiction to add. My students would love this.
I would use these STEM activities by letting my students work with them in groups first to see what they can come up with and then share with the whole class. That way we can all learn new things. Then I will begin to teach a lesson and the students will see if there method worked or not worked and why it did or didn’t.
I would use them to keep my 5 and 7 year old boys busy and engaged during any school breaks.
Great away to break up the day but still learning.
This would be great for my Kindergarteners in the afternoon. Or as a ‘finish early” incentive.
I would be able to use these activities for choice time. I can also use them in our after school program.
My first grade class studies holidays around the world. I would love to use the famous lego landmarks during this unit.
I would use this for small group activities and let the kids explore on their own. This would be a great addition to my program. Thank you,
Jo
I would love to use these STEM activities at home with my kindergartener. He has always enjoyed open ended activities that allow him to take the lead and explore. Thanks for all your hard work in putting this pack together!!
I would definitely use these activities in small groups/centers. One example of how I would use them would be to have the children use the LEGOs to construct a city because I am doing a lesson about the different places we go to and they could use the LEGOs to make some of these places.
I would love to integrate this STEM packet into all of my curriculum areas!
This would be great to use with my three children aged nine, seven, and three. To reinforce their STEM learning in English since we live our of the country and go to national school in a foreign language.
Good Morning! This post is in response to your request for the Endless STEM Challenge Bundle (one of nine giveaways)
How would I use this in my classroom? The possibilities are ‘endless’! I am a preschool teacher and our philosophy is focused for a hands on learning experience for our kiddos. We have a work, play, learn atmosphere in our classroom and the Endless Stem Challenge bundle is the ticket for fun active learning, creativity, and differentiated challenge adapted tasks. I can see my scholars using their critical thinking skills to create the Famous Landmark STEM Structures. This will be a great addition to the already fan favorite to your freebie Lego Patterns. Thank you for producing engaging activities for our young scholars.
I would use the STEM bundle with my advanced 4 yr old. At the moment we are homeschooling him!
This would be awesome to win! I run programs for children with special needs and we would use these STEM activities to build on social skills, gross motor skills and keeping the children engaged in activities (legos) that our budget doesn’t allow for. I love your site and thank you for your creative and always useful ideas!
I will use the STEM Bundle for choice time in my special education class. This bundle will engage my class who benefit from hands-on learning and it will also teach my students to be creative.
I work for a Nonprofit Organization for children and families 0-6. I would love to use these activities with my playgroups.
Looks exciting and educational for children to do.love activities like these.
I would use the STEM packs at our small library for our Tech Explorers program which is for K-6th grade students. We have a limited budget but are dedicated to making sure the children in our community have access to STEM opportunities. Having access to these bundles would be a true blessing to our library!
My ECSE students would have a blast with this package!
I would use the Endless Stem Challenge Bundle in my kindergarten classroom during math stations and science lessons. I’d also offer some of the challenges to my early finishers throughout the day, they’d be a wonderful addition to my, “I’m done. What can I do now?” boxes.
I have 2 kids recently identified as G and T students (which I already knew). I have been using STEM and STEAM unknowingly to occupy the kids during summer and holiday breaks. I love the new ideas and every freebie I can find. The kids love the new activities. We used your ideas for 3d shapes and my son turned a cube into a mouse by adding a pyramid nose, whiskers and a tail. My daughter turned a trapazoid into a church. I love their imagination. Thank you for the fantastic ideas.
Dear Maia
First of all, being in and from Europe, I am grateful for your fabulous work. You can’t find sites like yours anywhere over here & I have lived in several European countries. So, following you for quite some time, you have been a true inspiration and support.
Due to my work at a kids club in Europe, I have already purchased two or three of your fabulous STEM activities to engage children in a meaningful way during my time with them. I am currently trying to develop a concise STEM / STEAM for kids 4+ years, which I aim to implement at the beginning of 2017. However, as my budget is very limited, I cannot buy the whole package right now, even though this would help tremendously. Oh well 😉
Again, a trillion thanks & kind regards

I am currently a College student who will be graduating in May. I will be student teaching next semester in a very low income school corporation. I would love to bring these activities and subjects into the school, because I feel STEM and STEAM are the gateways for students to feel capable and more confident to succeed in life. I believe this fun and intellectual activities are a great way to let children see that they too can create and bringing these activities into the school will be not only fun for me and the students, it will be very educational.
I teach pre-k and help out with our after school program at our daycare. These would be so awesome and beneficial to our program! We are always trying to challenge and make learning fun for our kids. This would do the trick! We are a non-profit, so buying extra things are rarely in our budget. This would help us out so much. Thank you for all of your wonderful ideas!
I would use this with the afterschool program I teach. The program is designed to help students academically and socially, as well as increase exposure to things they would not have access to otherwise. Our district has a very high number of students that are low income, have less adult/parent interaction and supervision and I think this would be a great asset to our program!
These activities would be great for incorporating real-life science activities into other subjects like social studies and literature and even math. I can see so many wonderful ways these could really engage my first grade learners.
I would love these for my pre-k class!!!
Love the STEM activities. The kids even bring them out when they have playdates with their friends. They would love them!
I teach kindergarten in WA state. We are fortunate enough to have STEM as part of our specialist rotations once per week. However, I have always incorporated science exp. and activities into my classroom plans (35 years of teaching K) and would love to use your wonderful ideas here to add to both my science Friday fun and to small group act. Thanks for all your hard work. Jan
I would use these activities in my science and math classes, and also to promote problem solving and thinking skills into the curriculum for my special education high school students. They would love these great hands-on activities!
These learning opportunities will allow my special ed elementary group to really shine and see themselves as growing learners! Thank you for putting it all together!
What a great bundle! The craft stick challenge would be perfect for my Kindergarten science center. The coding would be great for my Challenge Engineer club. All of the activities would work well in my summer school science class!
STEM is a new thing for me, I need ideas, especially to keep the children engaged instead of running around.
I’m a first grade teacher and I’m always looking for hands-on STEM activities. It would be great to have this as a resource.
I would love to use these Stem activities to teach my students history. I love the Lego idea where they engage in building historical landmarks. My kids would love these tactile activities!
I would love these for the kindergarten and first graders I work with. You make learning so fun!
I would use it for homeschooling my boys, they would love these activities!
Would use this to awaken the curiosity and wonder of my kindergarteners!
I am in my first year of homeschooling my 1st grader and I would love to incorporate these activities! Plus she has 3 younger siblings that will be added to our classroom in the coming years 🙂
Thank you so much for all that you do! My Kids love your activities and how hands-on the projects are! I would love to use the STEM bundle to enrich our homeschool curriculum!
Stem Please!
These would be great for centers in our Kindergarten class! We have been looking for more ways to incorporate stem into the classroom and these would be perfect!
These activities would definitely help my grandniece and grandnephews open up a world of curiosity and problem solving!
I already use several of your ideas in my resource classroom. Love them! This would be awesome for my kiddos for critical thinking and fine motor skills. They would be so excited!!!
You have wonderful ideas! My kindergarten daughter is just learning about coding and this would come in handy. Also, with her new love of science, she would love all the STEM activities!
Thank you for all your hard work.
I would use this STEM bundle and future packs to teach my kiddos that science is fun and encourage their curiosity.
These ideas are amazing. I would use them in South Africa next year on my school’s brand new STEAM club that will be opening up in our new maker space. I am in charge of starting a club that includes STEAM activities as an extra curricular activity and this pack would be a perfect start.
SO MANY good ideas! This bundle will be my new go-to place for STEM project-based assignments.
These ideas are amazing!! I would use some of them for my task boxes that I have implemented into my preschool classroom this year. The other activities we would use as whole group projects and center activities. Thank you for all your time you put into making things for others?
I am constantly trying to find STEM activities to keep my very busy little man engaged in activities that will capture his attention. This bundle would be perfect, having a ton of ideas in one place!
Love all the great ideas!! I teach PK and we were just told to change our centers to educational centers. Up til now we’ve allowed free play and these STEM projects would be awesome to add to our centers.
Sydney
Hey,
Lovely idea, Thanks for sharing.
I would use the stem in may different ways. I would use them as introduction to lessons or to close a lesson. I would use them as seat work activities, as extra work task when a child has completed their assigned task. I would use them as early bird activities before the beginning of sessions for the day. I would use them in Work Centers to reinforce the concepts done. General as teaching aid to help enrich the learning experience for the children.
I would use these fabulous ideas to challenge my grandkids to think creatively and to nurture their curiosity about their world. Best of all, I would never run out of ideas, as the bundle would be constantly updated!
I’m training to be a teacher but I’d use these right away with my after school STEAM club for kiddos in grades K-2. Love it!
I would use this bundle for my 1st graders. I work in an urban charter school with 100% free and reduced lunches, just to give you an idea of the demographics I work with. My kids need more hands on activities to solidify their learning. This is also a bundle I can use at home with my own children.
I’m starting a coding program so I’m VERY excited to see the coding materials.
I would use the steam pack to cross curricular subjects and for hands-on fun learning,
I teach Kinder throughout the week and Pre-K on Saturdays, these would be perfect in both settings to get their minds working!
I would use the STEM bundle with my K-2 enrichment group.
I am always looking for more activities to add to my library curriculum — I want my students to be able to explore any topics that grab their interest.
To explore, build, code, problem solve and get messy! 🙂
This would be awesome for my 3 kiddos to work on over winter break!
I would use the STEM materials with my two boys at home. We are always looking for new building challenges, and this would be great! Thank you for putting this together!
I like challenging my Kinder students with hands on, critical thinking projects that allows them to see themselves as innovators. i think this bundle would be a great addition to our enrichment resources to get them thinking and building!
I would use them as learning stations while I take small groups of kiddos to check for concept understandings.
I would use it to help the children realize that math and science are fun when it is hands on.
Wonderful ideas for very creative learning!
I would use this bundle with my son as a part of our Kindergarten homeschool curriculum. He would LOVE the building activities!!
This seems like the perfect set of stem activities to incorporate with our homeschool criculum for my little engineers
This is awesome. Thank you for the giveaway! I would love to win a set. I started teaching again after several years at home with my little one. My class is an add on this year and I started with (and still have) very few supplies and materials for my students. (I have bought a lot) I would be thrilled to win this to begin building units and activities for my kiddos.
I would use them as part of my stem units and as fun quick stem challenges.
We would love to use this in our home school. My kids love the science experiments pack and I know they would love this too.
I would use the STEM bundle to introduce many different hands on activities to my pre-k class. The visuals will provide support for many of my non-English speakers.
I see so many great activities that my kinders would love! These would be great to make science hands on and would save me a little research on ideas. 😉
STEM activities would give ALL my students an opportunity to “think outside the box”. Thank you!
I would use them to supplement my children’s public school education and encourage a love for math and science.
I am incorporating STEM activities into our weekly Big Buddy time. Both groups really enjoy working together on STEM challenges. The older kids help mine with the difficult parts while both are talking and building/exploring/experimenting. I would so love to use these!
I teach Special Education reading and I am always looking for ways to put movement into the lessons. I would assign a challenge to go with my reading lessons.
I think the coding cards and structure building would fit perfectly into my first grade classroom’s curriculum! I’ve been wanting to start a STEM time on Fridays where my kiddos get to choose an activity they are interested in, and this would be a great way for me to jump-start that! 🙂
I would love to use this with my kindergarten students.
I would add these to my science lessons as independent activities.
I am trying to do more STEM activities with my preschool class, so this bundle would be really helpful!
I would use these activities to help boost my play-based learning centres for my Full Day Kindergarten class. We are trying to include more STEM activities into our inquiry based centres.
I would use these activities to help boost my play-based learning centres for my Full Day Kindergarten class. We are trying to include more STEM activities into our inquiry based centres.
I would like to have my class work quietly together so that I can confidently go off to an adjoining room to work with individuals one on one without feeling like they are looking for their own ‘entertainment ‘. ?
I would us this with our Spring science expedition. We spend 18 weeks exploring science. It would be a great addition!
I would use it to give my students more exposure to math and science with manipulatives.
I teach 4 & 5 year olds. We live in the JSC NASA area. The public schools are very involved in robotics teams. STEM is very important in this area and I am always looking for fun new ideas for my classroom. The kids just love science! I would use the STEM activities at my science center table and when I do end of the day special science activities.
I am a preschool special education teacher at a low income Title I school. Not only would some of my preschoolers enjoy some of the acivities but I also teach grades K-2 in our after school tutoring program. I am always looking for different fun activities for them.
I’d love to do things with my child to offset some of the dull worksheets they do in school and that we get as homework.
These STEM activities would be put to great use in my STEM bins for my kinder Cubs and for my STEAM club. I would also incorporate them in my morning activities tubs! What a blessing it would be to win this giveaway!! Thanks!
I would use this during our STEAM time each day! My students would love it!
This would be great to use with my gift students who absolutely love building and creating new things. These activities would get all of my students interested and involved!
I would use this both in my classroom and with my children at home. It would give them the opportunity to experience learning through hands on activities.
I am a kindergarten teacher. I am always looking for math and science activities that are hands on and will extend thinking. I would use the activities to challenge my students to think deeper, to explore and use materials in new ways and to work together. Having students explain their thinking develops oral language skills and vocabulary. Allowing students to see that there is more than one correct answer develops problem solving skills and helps the children be more willing to take risks in their learning to think outside the box.
I will use this to integrate science and math into my classroom, where we don’t have much support. I work in a low income school with not a ton of resources to implement for STEM.
I will use this to help my students to gain concrete math and science knowledge.
I would use the STEM pack to motivate students by using them as center work. These would be great to use for the early finishers in class. It will be a great way to challenge them and have them think in a higher level without the whine and complain of “more work”
My school will soon implement STEM into our daily curriculum. I would definitely have a great start with these ideas. I would use it to enhance/ enrich Math lessons that lack excitement. Making kids crave more.
I would use these great hands on activities with my students during center time.
I teach Prek in a public school and I will use these STEM lessons to engage my kids in critical thinking. I used a STEM activity of building bridges with paper to support pennies, and got my best evaluation EVER! So, I know my administration wants to see more of these activities as well!
I’m planning on using this as a warmup to, and then throughout the 2017 Summer Reading program at my library. The theme for 2017 is “Building a Better World.” And what a better way to engage kids and their families in exploring, designing and building together.
This resource looks AMAZING. My school uses stemscopes already, but this would be a fantastic additional resource. Kids learn so much better with hands-on activities where they get to explore and experiment themselves. My students and I would be SO excited to win this!
I will use in my Kindergarten classroom 🙂
The possibilities are endless…lol. I teach kindergarten at a project based learning. Finding activities can sometimes be hard but I think this would provide my students with several opportunities to build the skills needed to complete their projects.
This bundle looks amazing! My little engineers are just beginning to learn these concepts and would be thrilled to work on the activities.
My after schoolers would love this to compliment my other STEM activities
I would first check out the Cookie Structure Challenges but use gingerbread cookies for the activities as Christmas season is approaching. Early next year I would incorporate the landmarks packet into our Friends Around the World theme.
I teach Pre-K, so some of these activities might be too hard for my kids to do alone but we did a shared lesson with an older group recently to build stick structures and I feel that this bundle would offer many wonderful ideas for similar projects in the future.
Next year when we start expeditionary learning.
I am a kindergarten teacher level leader. One of my new tasks this year is to incorporate STEM into our curriculum. There are many good ideas for older students. Would love age appropriate ideas. Thank you!
I have 4 grandchildren who very much enjoy your STEM challenges. They are ages 2, 4, 7 & 8. I apply your STEM concepts to each of them, at their own level. It was rewarding to hear my 8-year old’s excitement at being able to tell her new 2nd Grade teacher all of the experiments we did over summer! My 7 year old “builder” keeps asking me to do a new experiment each week. All 4 of them really enjoy volcanoes – they even included the 4 neighbor kids! This helps me keep them stimulated while learning. Thank You! – Never Bored in Wisconsin.
love this! would use this to engage my little learners in science!
Great ideas to challenge young minds!
I would use it to set up science centers twice a week for my 25 K students. I also want this for my weekly Hour Of Code. We do wireless, computer-based and VeeBot coding activities. It engages them and they can work in pairs to help each other and learn together. My role is to walk around and help them figure it out, giving them pointers and directions.
I am the librarian of a small charter school. I am trying to make a “maker” space in my library. I need fairly ready to go plans as I am only in the library two days a week. I am trying to explain to the school that a maker space with centers would bring more children into the library and excite and motivate children to achieve more in their regular classes too. Your bundle is exactly what I need not only because it is already kid friendly but ongoing and update able. It would e put into extensive and immediate use to excite many children.
I homeschool and know my son would love this!! He loves creating and engineering! And I’m sure little sister would love it too! I like to give them fun things to do that also help them learn!
This bundle would be great for our learning lab time. We try to expose our kiddos to different areas of learning in an interactive way.
While I love teaching science and learning about science myself, I am new to some aspects of STEM education, specifically engineering and coding! The activities in the bundle would not only engage my students, but better prepare them for an increasingly more technological world. Thank you!
My school just designated a classroom for science, etc. I would love to spread out the straw maze or the famous landmark activities, from exploration of materials to completion, to introduce the classroom.
I’d love to use this with my daughter to encourage critical thinking and creativity!
We do a stem project each week with our 8th grade buddies. Would love some new ideas!
I teach 30 five and six year olds & these challenges would be a HUGE hit with them!
I love the concepts in this bundle! I would use these activities at centers with my kindergarteners. I think the Legos and coding will be their favorites. We love Legos and just began coding a couple of weeks ago.
I would love to add your great ideas to my Library Learning Commons where we try to participate in some STEM challenges everyday. New ideas would be most welcomed! Thanks for all your hard work!!
I would use this bundle for my kindergarteners! Often times science is a subject that is left out of our day/week. Our current curriculum is not fun and entertaining for the kids. Bringing STEM into the classroom will help to foster a love for achieve early on in my kiddos academic careers!
These look amazing!
I would use them in the classroom as STEM centers. Each group would have one activity to explore and to challenge and extend their thinking. What a great opportunity for students to problem solve, work together and support each other’s learning!
I would love to use this to help children develop thinking skills. Even if they can’t solve the challenge it is still a great way to get them thinking!
Malia,
Thank you for creating such wonderful resources of us all to use!! <3
I would use these in a STEM Summer Camp I’m planning for this upcoming summer.
I would use them to help my students love science! There are activities for everyone!
I am a primary school teacher and Science is not my strong point!!!! I know with these activities I would be able to provide regular engaging and exciting lessons for my students.
I would use this with my kindergarten class to help promote inquiry and discovery
Hi Malia,
This pack is perfect for me as I run an after school club with my three young kids 4, 6 and 8.
We are always looking for fun science experiments and challenges and this would be an ideal pack for us as we’ll all be learning and having fun!
My kids actually find practical science and maths enjoyable!
I have a number of friends through the church where I meet who homeschool. I have been downloading free materials for them for 2 years and give them a USB with all the files. This helps them save, especially when the kids are little. I would pass these on to these friends and use them with my 4 yr old granddaughter who visits often. Thank you for this opportunity.
I regularly visit your site to get new ideas for my class. This STEM packet would be a great addition!
My first graders would love using these when they meet up with their “STEM Buddies” monthly! They love working with their 5th grade buddies, exploring the different STEM areas together.
I would use these activities as part of Stem activities. The activities will continue to encourage students to collaboratively think, problem-solve and build together.
Working in an inclusion classroom, I on a continuous quest to instill a love of learning, build self confidence and inspire the students! One way I would use the bundle is to allow my lower students to complete the STEM project first and present their findings to peers! Great learning for all involved!
Thank You!
I would use these for early finishers, our morning centers, and during math.
I would use these activities as part of our daily activities in the area that I work with children on an Air Force Base Youth Center. I work with ages 5-12 and they love the things I have brought to them already from your site so I know they would love any new and exciting activities that you come up with. The Popsicle stick catapult was a huge success, the kids went on to make catapults from other items in our area as well. It was great to see them think out of the box for the activities. Thanks for all the ideas already.
I would use these to add to the stem boxes I already use my classroom as a free time activity for my students.
I would use these as part of our Math Stations and as an addition to our Science Exploration stations.
I will use these activities to get my kinders to think, wonder, explore, and solve problems.
This is exactly what I need in my Primary autism class. You cannot beat hands on learning!
These all are amazing resource which we used in our preschool room last term to enhance children’s knowledge about structure, patterns and land marks around the world. It is great because it enhance children’s higher order thinking skills, problem solving skills and connect them with the world in which they are living
I would have my students do the activities in teams and then they would have to explain their process to the other teams.
This is my first year teaching homeschool with my five year old. She is very smart, but I am having trouble finding a science curriculum that will challenge her but will still be as fun. Your STEM activities may be a good tool to get her to achieve these goals. Thank you.
I currently home preschool my son and would love all the opportunities to learn problem solving and a lot of these would help with fine motor skills too! An amazing educational resource!
I’m a relief teacher and it can be hard to do some activities when you don’t know what has already been taught or resources available but the STEM collection can be taught in a day and I can already be prepared.
Exploring!
I am an ect returning to work after more than 10 years at home raising my family. This is exactly what I need in my kit bag to return to class with some exciting, invigorating new ideas. I can’t wait to engage learning through exploration and fun!!
What a great pack! My son, 3, loves constructing things & is fascinated by science. This would also come in handy in my classroom to give my students more engaging & thought provoking lessons
I’m a special ed teacher at a Title I school in California! San Jose, land of techies to be exact, except most, if not all, of my kids have NEVER touched/experienced/experimented with any engineering or technology related projects! I teach 1st-3rd so this would be the perfect way to begin introducing these concepts and opening their minds to something new and exciting!
What an opportunity. If I were to win this package I would use it in my Year 1 and 2 classroom. A group of 17 busy boys and 4 girls who love to discover the world around them with these kinds of hands on activities. The few we have trialed so far have created much discussion, excitement and ignited there curiosity.
This year I am working in grade 1. We are focusing on developing children’s thinking skills. (Lot’s of fun 🙂 ) I have a group of students that are very advanced in problem solving and this bundle will be a great challenge for them, together with explaining the process.
I love this! I would use it as a Fun Friday activity!
My year 1s would absolutely adore this bundle! They love to build and create using simple materials in the classroom! I would use it as part of our Friday technology space reward!
I would use it to supplement homeschool science and also on rainy days
Hi, my youngest is almost 6 and in kindergarten. She has sensory issues and she hates writing. This would be a fun way for her to learn since she’s a hands-on learner.
This is brilliant! What an awesome way to kick off our homeschooling adventure! We are such fans of your site. Thank you!
I would love to have this for my two children! We could use this to supplement our homeschool curriculum. It looks like so much fun!
I have two boys that are hungry for all things hands-on, so we do stem Fridays!
Love this. They would be great for activities in my small group work where I want more investigative and hands on activities.
Hi. My kinder class still has blocks, and I have future architects!! I would use our duplos and the blocks and challenge them to use the duplos in between the bloocks to create more intricate structures. They would find out which duplos would be better to balance the beams/blocks! They could also see which duplos act as better beams. Endless stem challenge!
I absolutely love this! I am an Occupational Therapist and this would incorporate curricula into fine motor and visual motor goals as we “work” on developing skills in OT!!! My students love my innovative ideas and this is right up their alley!!!
In addition to being and early childhood teacher, I have two young boys of my own. The uses of this pack for me are endless!! I am hoping to set up STEM Fridays in my classroom and this pack would be an absolute life saver.
I think these STEM activities would help my students learn to work better with others. I would like to do one of these activities each week.
I have been teaching for years in Kindergarten and love to let my students work with blocks and other items that make students think, and prove their reasoning why their item is the strongest or best built. I have bought your other stem books, and am finding that they are exciting and fun.
My students would love these hands-on activities!
you dont know how grateful we are here in Africa.. your resources have helped me a lot.. these practical exciting approach to learning is something the children are never experienced till now,,i am so very thankful to you.. i really wish you take payments from here in a Ghana. i really love the 3d activities but it seems i cant get it..i cant pay from here..it looks like an impossiblity
I love these hands-on ideas. What a great way to make the Eiffel Tower come to life. Learning famous structures/geography with these cards will be fun for the whole family! I can’t wait to try out the fun chemistry and math concepts in my homeschool!
My son would be so happy to do the activities in this bundle as part of our homeschool and just for fun.
I love all these ideas for my five year old class but also many own children. I would use them as a choice activity as part of literacy so that they can share with each other, and build up oral language, they can write about predictions, what they have done and also what they found out, what science is involved, how well they worked with others.They could take photos of their process and upload to our seesaw and make a video or an audio to explain what they are doing.So many awesome options, they are endless. Thanks for the great ideas
I have been looking for STEM ideas for my kinders to enjoy as centers with an adult volunteer.
My kids love science and crafts so these stem projects would be ideal for them. Thanks Malia for the creativity and work you put in these projects.
Your ideas are always well received with my granddaughter who is in first grade at a STEM school. I try to add the A (ART) as an extension of what she is doing. I also love the hands on use of manipulatives such as candy, Popsicle sticks, etc. I use many of your ideas (adapted) with my two younger grandsons. Thank you so much.
I am a new pre-k teacher and my goal this year is to add one STEM activity to my curriculum per month.
Stem packaged would be used during centre time 🙂 great for fine motor for the little ones.
Oh this would be so fun! We have kids ages 7, 5, 3, and 0. We would use them for homeschool, for quiet time activities, and just for fun for the 5 year old who ADORES math 🙂
Love your work!
I teach a composite grade 1 /2 and I have been incorporating STEM activities into our Developmental Play curriculum. Developmental Play is taken three times a week for one and a half hours each session. The students love the challenge that the STEM activities provide.We only introduce one activity each week, but that means we need to come up with lots of STEM ideas for the whole year.
These tasks would be great for reinforcement and assessment. Amazingly creative!
I would use this during center time.
I use these STEM activities for my challenge of the week. They go into plastic drawers that the children remove and take to their table or the mat. There they work with a buddy to solve the challenge and share back to the rest of the class. The children love these challenges!!
We have been working on building a STEAM lab at our school this year! This would be absolutely perfect for my classroom!!! My students would LOVE these activities!!!
We love STEM in our home! I try and put out a STEM activity every morning for the kids to do while breakfast is being made… sure beats having them sit in front of the tv!!
I would gift my stem pack to a very sweet friend of mine who is teachers assistant and teaches STEM at one of our local Elementry schools! 🙂
I am trying to implement STEM into my classroom this year. This bundle will make it easier for me to do so. Using books to create STEM projects is how I am trying to incorporate STEM. For example, after reading the 3 Little Pigs the STEM project would be to build a house.
I would use my STEM pack in my 1st grade classroom. We do as many STEM activities as possible, and this would be a great resource!
My son thrives on STEM activities! We adopted him from foster care a few years ago and he has quite a few challenges educationally. However, he has a flare for engineering and science so we try to capitalise on that strength at home and in his schooling. We live in London and it is hard to find good STEM curriculum here. This pack would give him lots of opportunities to have fun and learn at the same time.
My preschoolers love science. I would use the STEM pack to peak their curiosity and encourage their love of science.
I would use this to start investigating STEM in my Kinder/Year 1 classroom. The region I am working in has a big STEM focus, this bundle would help me to get started with STEM and start figuring our how to integrate it into my classroom.
I am a teacher aide and would make up the resources to support my school’s focus on STEM for 2017.
I would use the STEM challenges in my Spark group .
I love STEM activities and try to incorporate them into my curriculum as much as possible – my Kindergarteners love hands-on learning! I would use the STEM bundle to help my kids apply what they are learning in reading, writing, and math into real-life situations. Thanks for offering this giveaway!
I have a special needs daughter who has difficulty reading, but learns best with hands on science activities. We have already used some of P2P stem activities and find them filled with hours worth of educational fun.
I would love to use these in my second grade classroom!
I would use them to stimulate interest, inquiry and wonder about all things STEM! both my students and my own children would love and enjoy all these activities for eternity ;).
I would love to use these with my kids and nephews, they really enjoy “playing” with STEM activities
Kindergartners are so hands-on with all of their learning that I know they would so enjoy these in our classroom. They get to use all of their thinking skills and cooperation skills to work on the STEM activities. I am excited to expose them to a way of learning that incorporates all of what we learn and practice each day in kindergarten.
I am really trying to incorporate more STEM in my class and am always looking for great activities to challenge and extend
I would use the STEM pack at my summer job at a STEM Camp
I’d love to use the Endless STEM bundle for my kids and his friends as they love Science so much but unfortunately they don’t have many hands-on experiments at school here in Malaysia.
I would incorporate the activities into our daily curriculum with our preschoolers.
To spend quality time with my one and only grandson ! My son passed months ago and i will never have another . Each moment with him is incredible !
I would use this with my son who needs to be challenged more that school is offering him right now.
I am a Director of an afterschool program – kids groan when they hear we are starting a science learning track and will be starting STEM club. More school work is not what they want to do but fun is in and these projects fall into that category. Unfortunately, we are a Title One school so budgets are tight so fun and free would do the trick for me!
Thanks for all the activities you’re sharing!
I would use the pack with my year 2 students in a bilingual school in Madrid, Spain! My kids love your activities!!! ?
I would use this continuous stem pack to help my 2nd grade classes learn that they can use everyday items to create and build fantastic things! I LOVE the hands on learning and the students completely forget that they are learning! I am planning to begin a stem center in my classroom after Christmas break (this way I won’t be breaking up their routine for now). I have started finding STEM/ STEAM ideas through teacher blogs and Pinterest, but this pack would be a fantastic addition! Thanks for the fantastic ideas!
I would use your pack for homeschooling my two children and for when I weekly lead activity day at our nearby private school / home school co-op.
I am getting ready to start teaching next fall and this would be a great start up kit for fun activities to do with my class.
Plus my son is loving science projects and building things. This just looks so fun!
I have a active class of 12 boys/5 girls who are loving the hands on activities I have purchased from you , thank you, some great ideas which I now have in my maths rotation.
Wow! What a great bundle. I would love to use this with my 5 year olds as part of their developmental play during our Learn Through Play sessions ?
I would use the STEM activities package to teach confusing concepts in my special needs classroom. My students learn best using manipulatives, so this would be a perfect way to help them understand the topics I’m required to teach them.
I would use this as a center in my classroom to help build the students creativity.
Love these type of hands on activities. I would use them with my remedial math students who struggle with math concepts.
I would use the stem bundle to REV up my science lessons.
I would love to have this set for our kindergarten lessons next fall!
I love the hands on activities that keep the kids engaged… they don’t even realize they are learning,,,
My 2 no graders love working on all stem activities. These would be perfect to get their little brains whirling!
I have a little guy who is completely fascinated by landmarks so I think the landmarks from Legos activity would thrill him.
Teaching STEM is such a privilege and that’s what my teaching adventures will involve for 2017. I will use the activities to stimulate, motivate and engage our amazing students from grade 1 to grade 6 at my primary school in Melbourne, Australia. Providing my students with the inspirational hands-on opportunities to develop their curiosity and range of thinking, via the STEM activity bundle, is surely the right step in the direction to link them to Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths linked occupations of the future. Just what they need! Just what I need!
Wow! What an amazing pack of useful and challenging activities. I am a PreK 4 teacher and I would love to add these to our daily STEAM time. I believe it would enrich our learning tremendously.
I would set up daily challenges for my beginners from Day 1 next year so that they can engage in conversation with each other, learn all about risk-taking and have lots of fun all at the same time whilst I get to know them!
We use stem activities in our jk/sk everyday. Winning this would be a welcome adition to support our full day kindergarten inquiry program.
Every other Friday k-2 teachers have Cooperative Learning Team meetings, but on the opposite Fridays 3-5 have them and we have an extra 40 minute block. I think this would be a GREAT way to enrich their day when we have time that isn’t already claimed!
We’d use it regularly as part of our Home Education. Would be a fantastic way to introduce STEM activities to our twins.
I would love to use the STEM activities at the end of the day when: 1. The kids are tired of all the “have-to-do” activities we need to do.. and 2. When I have a 20-30 min block of time that I am trying to do centers in. STEM activities could be at least 1, if not 2 of the 4 activities that I have for the kids to do at that time. STEM activities open their minds and “feel” like play, so at the end of the day they have the energy to give them a try!
I would LOVE this pack for my kindergarten students. STEM activities are great for helping children problem solve and think creatively. I would use them for those skills and for the dialogue that goes along with a STEM challenge.
Thanks for sharing your activities and ideas! My students love them!
I would use these activities during my set math/science/STEM time in the afternoon with my class. They are already so excited to do hands on activities. This would be a great ongoing resource for me.
My grandchild loves science and math! I would use these activities to continue to spark the love of science and math in her.
I am trying to incorporate a STEM station into my math workshop stations. These would be a great start to getting that up and running.
This Endless STEM Challenge bundle would be a great addition to my kindergarten class. My students love to build things and are intrigued by puzzles and activities that require higher leveled thinking. However, they need to work on stick-to-it-ness. They need more activities that will stretch their thinking, build independence, and self-assurance. I want them to believe in themselves like I believe in them.
This would be a great addition to our community of homeschoolers. I love STEM and would love to bring more ideas to our ‘classrooms’!
This would be great for homeschooling my 5 kids. Hands on activities like this are fantastic for learning while having fun and for encouraging independent work while I”m dealing with others.
I would love to use this STEM pack with my students as a way to teach science and engineering. They would love the hands on activities!
I teach in an immersion preschool in Japan. I love to use hands on experiences to teach vocabulary and concepts to students. The concrete interaction with objects is a valuable tool in retaining information. I would use these stem activities to reinforce concepts introduced in the classroom.
I would love to win the stem challenge so I could challenge my students in the 2D and 3D structure building. We are studying this now and it would be fun and challenging to see them do and learn.

I would love to be able to sin the STEM ppackage to use with my grade 2 students (12 girls/6boys). We would use ideas during geometry to make 2D and 3D shapes with toothpicks and clay comparing their likeness and differences; during our study of landforms,monuments/memorials we could use LEGOs to make places we are learning about; during science when we study balance and motion the students would create something to show they know how things balance as well as make something that rolls during motion; while studying things that sink or float students would make and test things that create to see if they sink or float and why, as a culminating activity create a boat of some sorts that hopefully floats and can carry cargo; I would also incorporate these ideas with writing/art as a way for the students to show/tell how they made their creations and what they could do to make them even better if they made something again. I think all these activities are very beneficial to both girls and boys alike. Anytime kids work with hand-ons activities it seems the learning “sticks” and they have fun doing it. That’s what learning should be all about.
What a great product! I would use it with my grade 2 students as well as my primary Science Club!?.
I would love to win the stem challenge so that my autistic students would feel that despite their despite their learning challenges they are just as smart and capable as the typical student.
: Hands on Learning is the key to a successful learning environment! This is what makes the STEM learning kit so attractive.
I have been teaching for 30 years and I am still on the lookout for new and exciting hands on activities and these look great!
This would be perfect for our Kindergarten Wonder Wednesdays when we complete STEM activities together. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the contest!
I would love to use this in my science center!
I would love to use these activities with my 2 year old to keep encouraging her to explore and solve problems in the world. I would also love to have the 11 & 14 year olds to be the ones tO share the fun with their little sister!
I would love to use the STEM bundle in my newly started homeschool adventure with my son, who needs hands on activities for his disabilities!
My First Graders LOVE STEM challenges. If we could do science experiments and STEM all day, my students would be the happiest little campers EVER! I’m always looking for new ideas for STEM. My students and I would LOVE to have this bundle in our classroom. I’m sure my students would keep asking every single day to use it. We can never get enough of STEM!
Looking for STEM activities for kindergartners. Really like the 2D and 3D shape activities!
Wow these look just fantastic. I teach years 1 and 2 with some tricky boys in my class. I could see them loving the straw marble maze, the cookie parachutes and the 3D toothpick shapes. These activities look like so much fun that they won’t even realise they are working – they’ll think it’s free play!
I would use this bundle for the busy littles in my kinder class! So many different things to use in so many ways! STEM activities are such a great resource to use in the classroom!
I would use these activities when the kids and I hit a slump in our days together. There is so much to learn!! I don’t like wasting their time or blossoming minds just because I’m running out of steam from momming. These activities will be added to my arsenal of inspiration ?
I would use the stem bundle in my home.
These would be a great addition and challenge to my preschoolers home lessons. He is always building and asking for “homework” like Daddy.
I would use the STEM bundle to do hands on science with my middle school aged special needs students.
Finally STEM activities I understand. I work with kinder students and we’ve had STEM expos taking the place of science fairs for the past two years. This bundle is perfect for my class, STEM activities at their level which they will actually understand and build further from.
I would love to have all these ideas and activities for my daily discovery bins as well as using many of them in our daily free choice and wandering and wondering centres. ThNk you for this opportunity
You have so many great ideas! It can be difficult to find STEM activities for kindergarten. We do a STEM lesson each month so these would be so helpful in planning my STEM days.
As a sped teacher my students often need a visual and kinesthetic model to understand and apply mathematical concepts. I’d use the stem bundle hand-in-hand w/ instructional curriculum so students could demonstrate understanding of math:)
These STEM activities are great from Kindergarten! They are easy to understand and fun for them to do. I would love them to use in the my class with my science curriculum and with my Kindergarten Busy Bags!
These are well done and I sometimes struggle to find quality stem activities! My kids find your ideas fun and engaging!
The kids would love these. They will give them more fun ways to learn that doesn’t feel like you are leaning
These are great STEM activities. I would love to use these to make my science lessons more engaging.
Just starting to incorporate more STEM into our weekly routines. These packs look great!
I used one of the STEM activities around Halloween and my first graders loved it. I am anxious to try more. Your ideas are wonderful.
I would use the stem activities to engage my students and allow them the opportunity to problem solve.
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!
How will I use the stem activities:
Strategize
Training
Excellent
Motivation
And challenge my students to continually build their schema. Great ideas.
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.
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!).
These are ideal tools to help a child build self confidence through practicality, problem solving and imagination and enhances group work or independent tasks.
