Why Christmas Worksheets For STEM?

Well, you know we love hands-on activities here. Less on the worksheets and more on the doing! However, I believe in the value of some worksheets, especially for science and STEM, when you want to record data so you don’t forget what’s happening.

It’s also a great way to solve problems, think through ideas, and get some practice being a real scientist or engineer!

Kids have a lot more fun with these worksheets when paired with fantastic hands-on learning activities! Gingerbread men, candy canes, jingle bells, and more are all part of the fun. You can download any of these fun printable Christmas worksheets for free this holiday season.
