You don’t have to leave the jingle bells for Santa’s sleigh and reindeer! We are going to show you how much fun it is to learn and play with them all season long using easy Christmas STEM activities. I love the sound of jingle bells, and that’s one of the 5 senses too! Check out our jingle bell STEM activities to find something new and simple to set up this holiday season. We make science and STEM perfect for every season around here.
JINGLE BELL STEM ACTIVITIES FOR CHRISTMAS LEARNING!
What can you do with a simple bag of jingle bells from the dollar store or craft store? Make great Christmas STEM activities! We think we have a handful of super fun and super simple ideas to try this holiday season.
No season is complete without the jingle of bells, we played with sound science too! One of the most popular ways to explore jingle bells is to use them with magnets. There are actually quite a few fun and simple ways to do that too.
A batch of homemade slime is another great way to play with jingle bells. We made glittering gold and silver slime and add jingle bells for a fun Christmas theme STEM activity.

JINGLE BELL STEM ACTIVITIES
Try engineering, science, math, and even screen-free tech with this classic holiday item. I think our jingle bell STEM activities will be a huge hit around your house this season too.
We will be doing a couple more fun ideas before the season is done. I will update this post with later on but will outline the ideas below.
Learn a little bit about jingle bells before you start. How are they made and what is their history. Everything has a purpose. Check out this article for a few fun facts to share with your kids. We also enjoyed these 10 Fun Facts About Jingle Bells.
Click on all the red links below or the pictures for information on how to set up these activities and the supplies you will need. Of course, a bag of jingle bells is highly recommended.
MAKE JINGLE BELL HOMEMADE SLIME
Homemade slime is perfect when you add a dash of gold or silver glitter and a handful of jingle bells!
Explore math and engineering with jingle bells and pipe cleaners. Also, look for a free printable pack!
ADD TO A MAGNETIC EXPLORATION ACTIVITY
Jingle bells are perfect for exploring magnetism!
MAKE A JINGLE BELL SENSORY SCIENCE BIN
Add them to a sensory bin with other magnetic and non-magnetic items.
This is quite the STEM challenge! Use materials you have around and keep the kids busy with a Jingle Bell STEM project!
EXPLORE THE SENSE OF SOUND WITH OUR SANTA LABS
What do we love about jingle bells? The sound they make! Add jingle bells to a Christmas theme 5 senses activity.
CRAFT MAGNETIC ORNAMENTS TO HANG
Turn jingle bells into Christmas ornaments as you continue to explore how magnetism works!
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU WITH JINGLE BELL STEM ACTIVITIES?
Add a jingle bell to our Christmas LEGO maze! Does it work differently than when you use a marble?
You can also add jingle bells to our Printable Christmas Coding STEM game! Use the jingle bells as obstacles or items to collect as indicated in the game directions. This screen-free coding game is a great way to introduce algorithms to young kids.
We are looking forward to making a box top maze tomorrow for our jingle bells, so check back for that one! I will have to think about some more ideas to try. You can easily add jingle bells to a cardboard tube marble run as well, instead of the marbles.
In the meantime, if you need even more jingle bell STEM activities here are a few. I have asked some of my STEM loving friends for their ideas. Click on their ideas below to learn more.
