What Are STEM Toys?

STEM toys are toys designed to support STEM learning: Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. These toys encourage children to question, test, build and discover how things work. They’re brilliant for nurturing confidence and curiosity, especially in kids who love challenges or hands-on activities.

A helpful way to understand STEM learning is through the 4 C’s of STEM activities:

Critical Thinking: solving problems, making predictions, and evaluating results.
Creativity: approaching challenges with imagination and original ideas.
Collaboration: learning to share, communicate, and work as a team.
Communication: explaining thinking, asking questions, and sharing discoveries.

Whether it’s mixing solutions in a science kit for kids or exploring mechanics with a robot toy, STEM play helps build real-world skills in fun, playful ways.

What Is a STEAM Toy?

A STEAM toy includes all the above STEM elements, but adds A for Arts. STEAM toys combine logic with creativity. This means design, colourful creations and imagination enter the mix. Think art and craft kits for kids, model-building, painting activities and anything that blends science with creative fun.

So...What’s the Difference Between STEM and STEAM Toys?

The difference is simply the addition of Art! STEM toys focus on scientific and problem-solving skills, while STEAM toys expand this to include artistic expression and design thinking. Both types encourage valuable learning; the right choice depends on the child’s interests. If your child loves science experiment kits, robotics or engineering challenges, STEM might be their sweet spot. If they enjoy creative activities like painting or sculpting, STEAM toys bridge both worlds beautifully.
