CHRISTMAS STEM IDEAS FOR KIDS
Many of the following Christmas STEM activities include one or more of the different components of STEM learning. However, I tried to break them up into different sections to give you a better idea of how to include that component of STEM into the activity!
These Christmas STEM activities below are really quite easy and use just a few common kitchen and laundry ingredients. Don’t be intimidated! Look around your house or classroom for suitable and inexpensive supplies. Think cups, cards, straws, play dough, and more…
I am always amazed at how much we learn from creative STEM challenges. These Christmas STEM projects are perfect for budding engineers and scientists. They are also terrific frugal play ideas that will encourage imagination, free-thinking, and curiosity in kids!
Use these at home or in the classroom with kids this holiday season for some hands-on scientific fun!
