ALL ABOARD: WE’RE GATHERING STEAM

This week’s area of focus is ART, and we are creating our own stamps!

You’ll need:

  • Foam
  • Scissors
  • Markers
  • Ink pads (or markers)
  • Glue
  • Bottle cap lids

Instructions

  1. Decide what kind of fun shape you’d like to create (picking a simple outline without too much detail is best).
  2. Draw out the design on your piece of foam and cut it out
  3. Glue your foam design to the lid of the bottlecap and start stamping!

This activity allows children to create their own crafting tool and then make artwork with it.

ALL ABOARD: WE’RE GATHERING STEAM

This week’s area of focus is ENGINEERING. The challenge is to build a heart from toothpicks and playdough.

You’ll need:

  • Toothpicks
  • Playdough

Instructions
1. Set out a pile of toothpicks

Children will learn about how to engineer different structures. They can use their creativity in design and test out the strength of different shapes. This is a fun way to learn and identify shapes.
