Easter doesn’t have to be all about arts and crafts! This year, put your child’s engineering skills to the test with a fun and interactive Spring STEM Engineering Challenge. Using Peep marshmallows, jellybeans, and everyday craft supplies, kids can explore the world of engineering while having fun.
These hands-on activities aren’t just entertaining—they help children develop fine motor skills, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving. By constructing parachutes, wagons, baskets, houses, catapults, and more, kids will strengthen their ability to plan, test, and refine their designs—all while using materials you probably already have at home!
