STEAM Kids Book Formats
As a teacher and a mum I know how important STEAM activities (science, technology, engineering, art and math) are to children’s  development and learning.
 
I also understand that the idea of setting up STEAM activities in the home can be quite daunting! In my teaching role I came across so many parents who didn’t feel confident in these areas themselves and certainly didn’t feel equipped to bring these experiences into their children’s lives. Oh if only I’d had a copy of STEAM kids back then!
 
STEAM Kids takes the guesswork out of providing your kids with engaging and educational projects and makes STEAM FUN! Inside you’ll find 50+ totally awe-inspiring, hands-on STEAM activities plus a bonus STEAM Activity Planner perfect for after school, school breaks, clubs, camp and homeschooling.

Why I Love STEAM Kids

There are so many things I LOVE about STEAM Kids that will give it a permanent place on my bookshelf both as a mum and as a teacher.

I love how appealing the projects are for kids. Take the Milk Plastic Jewellery as an example. Which kid, or grown up for that matter, wouldn’t want to make plastic out of milk! That is total chemistry awesomeness in your kitchen right now!

I love how accessible the STEAM projects are and that most of them are based around simple resources you will probably have easily to hand.

For this Milk Plastic Jewellery activity we were up and running in minutes using what we already had in the kitchen cupboards.

In no time at all STEAM Kids had explained how to break down the casein milk protein molecules to form polymer chains. It introduced the kids to the reasons behind it and the correct terminology too without being too techy nor too simple. A perfect balance!

I love how it’s clearly laid out with a good use of pictures and simple instructions and explanations, making it appealing to kids and grown ups. We were able to follow along really easily and it didn’t take us long to make our milk plastic and shape it for our jewellery.

Here’s some sample pages from the book. You can see how it even gives the projects a difficulty rating and an idea of the time needed. So useful!

I love how the ideas can be easily adapted to suit kids of different ages and abilities and how they even offer extension activity ideas to push and stretch more able kids and to revisit the same activity more than once.

While we were painting our finished Milk Plastic Jewellery we were already thinking of new ideas to try. The activity really stretched my kids’ thinking and got them wanting to question and investigate further which is pure gold in my opinion!

I love that it empowers me as a parent to deliver quality educational and FUN activities in the home. I’d never have dreamed of making Milk Plastic Jewellery without it!

STEAM Kids shows you how inspiring young minds doesn’t have to be a struggle and how you can easily keep your kids engaged and learning throughout the whole year.
