STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects are crucial to a kid’s development, but they can still be exciting! On National STEM Day (Nov. 8), families can celebrate these subjects with fun, educational toys that make difficult concepts easier to grasp.
Combining STEM subjects with familiar play patterns is one way to supplement your kids’ education — and keep playtime meaningful! Whether your little one is learning about gravity, discovering the power of magnets, or exploring the intricacies of nature, they’re preparing for their future (and staying busy).
Here are 15 toys that’ll teach kids about STEM subjects on Nov. 8 and beyond. For additional STEM toys, check out The Toy Insider‘s Holiday Gift Guide.
