PRINTABLE EASTER STEM CHALLENGE CARDS

Last year we started the idea of doing a countdown to each of our favorite holidays including Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, St. Patricks Day, Earth Day, and 4th of July. Of course we had to include an Easter STEM countdown on the list too.

Many of the activities you see on these cards, we have already tried and shared on our site. You will find lots of links below! This will help give you some ideas and inspiration. Or you can take each of the Easter STEM challenge cards and go in your own direction.

I will leave some more tips, hints, and links below to help you get you started. STEM can be super fun for kids, and it’s so important to introduce STEM practices to kids at an early age! Many of our STEM activities are geared for the younger kids, preschool-grade 2!

EASTER STEM COUNTDOWN ACTIVITIES, EXPERIMENTS, AND CHALLENGES

WHAT IS STEM?

First, it’s going to be important to familiarize yourself with the acronym STEM. It stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. A perfect STEM challenge will include at least two of the foundations of STEM.

STEM is the world around us and there are so many important life lessons that can be learned through fun STEM activities for kids. I have noticed 10 valuable lessons my son has learned!

Read more about STEM here and here. We also have a great resource for all things STEM that is really helpful for parents, teachers, and caregivers. Plus, we love BUDGET FRIENDLY STEM!

GETTING STARTED WITH EASTER STEM!

I love to start out a new holiday with themed tinker kit or basket for anytime use. A tinker tray is an awesome invitation for a junior engineer or inventor to just explore, invent, and create. You can also pair a tinker kit with one of these awesome STEM inspired picture books!

First off, you will want to print out your own copies! Or you can read them off the screen and write them yourself. You can easily set up a fun presentation like you see in the above photo.

Place one of the Easter challenge cards in a plastic egg and fill as basket. Place your basket of eggs out with your tinker basket, and let the Easter STEM fun begin.
