Happy National STEAM Day!

We’re celebrating National STEAM Day by sharing our favorite children’s toys. These toys inspire creativity, spatial awareness and reasoning, problem solving, and above all, hours of fun! We’ve had these in our home for years now, and they continue to be played with year after year. Many of these toys can be combined and played with together. Just one idea is a Rube Goldberg Chain Reaction. See video below of ours from last year.
