Abstract

Bring the magic of Christmas to your home this festive season with these inspiring activity ideas for families and teachers to do with children aged 4 to 13 years, in the lead up to and over the holiday season. Santa’s STEM workshop provides fun Christmas crafts, recipes, hands-on experiments, and resources, which provide STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) inspired learning for children through play.

 

From creating gingerbread houses to edible snow, baking a yule-log or building with marshmallows. Children can make a snow globe or a starry light decoration, create a Christmas stocking, a present and a snowstorm formation. Flex their creative writing skills with a poem to Santa, a festive story, and jokes for a cracker. Looking for a more sustainable choice? Kids can build Christmas lights and recycled STEM toys. Looking for STEM movies that will make their face glow? We've compiled a great list and have our own video. Get their inner engineer buzzing with festive thrills, explore the outdoors and practice problem solving skills.
