Spring has sprung which means Spring Break is just around the corner! If you’re looking for a fun, educational way to keep the kiddos occupied, we’ve got some fantastic ideas here with our STEM Activities for Kids- Easter Projects!

Looking for a fun and education Easter activity that will keep your kids busy for hours (okay at least one hour)? This STEM Easter engineering project using jelly beans is colorful and engaging for kids of all ages. STEM Activities for Kids Easter Project. SunshineandHurricanes.com

I love simple, hands on ideas that promote learning & creativity. I love them even more when I already have all the necessary items on hand and no prep is required on my part! These easy jellybean structures are a fabulous engineering activity and my 8 & 10 year olds spent well over an hour building and playing. This is perfect if you’re traveling over Spring Break and an easy way to pass a few hours at Grandma’s house or in a hotel room.

STEM Activities for Kids Easter Projects

I set out a bag of jelly beans and toothpicks and my little engineers went to work. Simply insert the toothpicks into the candy and let imaginations soar. My preschooler wanted to participate, too, but she struggled with inserting the toothpicks into the jellybeans. So, as an alternative, I had her sort all the jellybeans by color and then count them into piles of 5. She was happy and entertained right alongside her older siblings!

Looking for an activity for your children that is both educational and will keep them busy for at least an hour? These jellybean engineering projects are a great way to help children learn the concepts of building in a fun and interactive way. STEM Activities for Kids. SunshineandHurricanes.com

The kids were so engaged and I could see this activity being a huge hit in a classroom, especially with older elementary school kids that worked cooperatively in small groups! We’ve also got an Easter Word Search that fluent readers would enjoy!

Here’s some more great Easter themed STEM Activities your kids will love:

    The jellybean structure is real impressive, and I’m getting my niece to try this. She spends time with me when her parents have errands to run. We get along great, mostly because we ‘do’ things together. As she enjoys science we spend time finding something ‘sciency’ to do (http://www.schoolofdragons.com/hiccups-science-workshop/) or we watch fun science videos (https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/reactions/videos/2018.html). Oh these biomimicrys videos(https://biomimicry.net/the-buzz/resources/wireds-think-like-tree-video-series-hosted-janine-benyus/) are her absolute favorite. We have watched them over and over! You have a great site, keep the articles coming and many thanks!

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
