One Whole Year of Splendid STEAM Projects for Kids

September 14, 2016

Remember when I gave you a list of 40 household items you can use to create spectacular, eye-popping STEAM and STEM projects right now?

STEAM BOOK COVER

Well, now I’m back with 52 STEAM projects for you and your kids to make with those items.

That’s the equivalent of one project per week for one whole year. 

Think what geniuses your kids will be in one year’s time! (Okay, I’m sure that your kids, just like mine are already geniuses, so think of how much extra genius they will be.) And all without Minecraft.

Okay, I bet you are wondering about this brilliant book.

STEAM KIDS: 50+ science/technology/engineering/art/math/hands-on projects for kids.

STEAM Kids takes all the best STEAM projects and presents them in one easy-to-use format that will delight your kids and won’t leave you pulling your hair out. – Brenda, Schooling A Monkey

I collaborated with some super talented women, including an MIT engineer, award winning educators, graphic designers, and homeschooling experts to create this resource. It’s good for teachers, homeschoolers and regular-old parents like you and me. If a little ol’ theater nerd me can co-author a book about science and math geeky stuff, you can certainly do all these projects no matter what your educational background. (P.S. I helped write the book, so obviously I am an affiliate.)

This book will turn you into Ms. Frizzle, but with more conservative fashion sense. —Julie

I’m going to give you a sneak peek inside the book down below, but first the nitty gritty details:

Okay, on to the goodies inside the book. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know my style. I like things simple. I like things fun. I like things that inspire my kids to create and explore with me, and on their own.

    Erica, can you tell me for what ages this is geared? I have an 8 and 10 year old and am wondering if it is geared more for the preschool/early elementary set or a bit older. (I get that there are things that hit both age groups, but not all do.)

      Hi Colleen, It is geared towards 4-10 year olds. Your kids are on the upper age. You could also download the free list of all the activities which comes with two sample projects to see if you think it is appropriate. The link for that is near the bottom of the post. Here it is again: http://buff.ly/2caUpWH

    I am unable to get the freebie to download, after I signed up to rcv the STEM email. I am interested in buying the ebook offer for this week, but was wanting to check out the freebie and see if it is something my homeschool class may enjoy. Thank you

    I teach 5-8 math, do you think these activities would be too young for 10-14 year olds?

      Hi Rebecca,

      Thanks for asking. I do think that activities are better suited for the 10 and under crowd. — Erica
