Category of STEM Toys

1) Robotics 

Robotic STEM toys help kids create robots of their own. They can be as basic as one-dimensional robots that spin or walk, or as sophisticated as fully-fledged interactive toys. Some kids may need adult help with these toys.

2) Electronic 

The circuit STEM toys teach kids the concepts of electronics by encouraging them to build small circuits having inputs as well as outputs for instance, lights, motors, and sensors.

3) Kids Computer 

There are a lot of kid-friendly computers on the market, but only a couple that are explicitly designed to build STEM skills. It comes preloaded with a slew of programming challenges for your child to conquer.

4) Building

The construction STEM toys are much like standard building blocks just like Legos; but with engineering lessons. 

5) Science 

The STEM kits, teaches kids the concepts of science and consist of microscopes and potato clocks. These toys may be quite traditional toys but effectively teach some of the basic science principles to kids through experimentation.

6) Biology 

Biology toys cover a wide area—they explore the human body, plants, animals, and ecosystems. Apart from examination, experiments and data gathering, biology STEM toys normally involve activities with long-term environmental impact, like planting trees or setting up butterfly gardens.

7) Astronomy

STEM toys focus on learning all about space. They study planets, constellations and the universe via scale models and telescopes. These toys challenge children to learn about the universe by asking as many questions as possible.

8) Lab sets 

 Include kits to do simple chemical experiment and  kitchen science basic to kids.

9) Math

STEM toys focus on learning all about math basics. Such as maths calculation using abacus.
