8 Best Science and STEM Gifts for Kids
 Tis the season for gift-giving!  So many kids these days are way into science and would love a science-themed gift (or twelve!).  Here are the 8 best science presents for your young scientist! Looking to escape from screen time? There’s plenty to do here with these high-engagement, low-tech presents. This post contains affiliate links.
 

1. Insta-Snow
In Central Texas, we don’t get much snow.  The good news is you can make your own!  This stuff is insanely cool and your young scientist will love having a white Christmas.  This little can of snow powder will make plenty of snow to play with this winter!

My daughter loves setting up little scenes in the snow with found objects and little figures!

2. Snap Circuits
This was a BIG favorite among my fifth graders.  Heck, it was even a big hit with me.  This snap circuits kit comes with SO many projects and possibilities.

3. Break Your Own Geodes
This is so cool!  I had kids break geodes one year and discover and identify the crystals inside.  This kit comes with 4 geodes.  You break them and use the guide to identify them.  So fun!

4. Laser Maze
What an amazing learning toy! Kids will work on their problem solving skills and reasoning skills as they solve problems with lasers and mirrors.

It’s like hands-on roller coaster tycoon! Kids use logic and spatial reasoning skills to construct roller coasters. Fun!

I love this!  This is an affordable and super fun gift for little and big kids!  Just stomp or jump to launch the rocket. Any kid will love this!

There are hundreds of kits, but sometimes you just need a big bucket of Legos.  Pour them out and build, build, build.  This was always a personal favorite when I was a child.  🙂

This is a simple idea for some serious fun.  KEVA Contraptions was another favorite among 4th and 5th graders, but younger builders love it too! Build a contraption and see how the ball will travel through.
