First Part

So Why STEAM? STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art, and technology. A good STEAM or STEM activity will include at least 2 or 3 of these aspects and a great one will include all five.

The next thing to consider when choosing toys for children is what do we want them to learn? Do we want them to learn about animals? About colors? About counting? These are all important topics that you may want your child exposed to from an early age so that they can begin learning about these things before school starts and continue learning throughout the year. Educational toys play a big role in this, as they keep on introducing and nurturing children with educational topics, their surroundings, life skills and many more. Kitchen science kits for kids teach chemistry concepts through memorable—and edible—projects. Students can make and eat their own chocolate, cheese, ice cream, and sugar crystals.Of course, your STEAM activities don’t need to be edible to be a ton of fun. But food STEM activities are just a super awesome bonus. After all, who doesn’t like science experiments you can eat?! Use the Bubble Gum Chemistry Kit to make chewy long molecules, spheres of dubious strength, popping sounds, and viscoelastic bubbles. Delicious polymers & loudish sounds! Just because something is edible does not mean it should be consumed in large quantities. Our fantastic taste-safe slime recipes fall into this category. When you focus on these subjects in your homeschool, you are molding and developing your children into well-rounded, highly-educated, leaders of tomorrow. Kids who are interested in STEM grow up to be:

Or you can do the same experiment using baggies instead of tin cans. The choice is your and the instructions are all here in the tin can ice cream STEM activity. Kids of all ages will love this activity. When you’re done, try experimenting with homemade sherbet. Enjoy this yummy treat all year long! Edible Slime Unicorns, clouds & rainbows... oh my! With the Thames and Kosmos Rainbow Gummy Candy Lab, kids learn about the scientific properties of natural polymers while they make their own delicious, fun gummy shapes. Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is important. Participants should wash their hands thoroughly before handling food, and utensils, surfaces, and equipment should be cleaned properly to prevent cross-contamination and foodborne illnesses. The indicator inside this Red Cabbage Jiffy Juice Kit contains concentrated red cabbage juice to detect pH levels. Use the pH indicator to test things around your house, like laundry detergent, soda pop, and more!
