Anyone who has that Ever watched a toddler methodically take apart a Tupperware drawer, you should know that many children are born engineers. Your only job as a parent is to nurture their creativity… and then clean up the mess. Between us – product reviewer Scott Gilbertson, editor Adrienne So, and I – we have seven children. This is honestly the best part of my job: enabling STEM toys for my kids and me to test and recommend together. It hardly feels like work.
Collect some of these STEM toys (aka STEAM toys; we love you too, Doctor!) and books for your future scientist to blow up, burn, or dismantle. Hopefully they will thank you for the early encouragement when they are older. Be sure to check out our many other buying guides, including Our Favorite Subscription Boxes for Kids and How to Build the Lego Collection of Your Dreams.
