Learning Resources STEM Explorers: Motioneering

Busy activity

We got this set in a stem motion activity bag from our library. It is so fun! After "how to" helping/instructions on day one of play, it has kept my 5 year old independently entertained for hours of creative stem exploration fun. He's built according to the included plans, and has made his own creations. Love it!

This and two others were bought for my grandsons they love them.

This little kit is great to get the 'cogs' turning! My 5 and 4 year old need toys that require a little bit more problem solving and thought than most and so I was really happy to find the Stem Explorers Motioneering kit. The 56 pieces enclosed in the box are brightly coloured and well made. It also comes with an instruction manual showing diagrams of 8 suggested builds. The instructions could do with being slightly bigger; they needed a little bit of help at the start to figure out which pieces were which. After the initial bit of help they were away and off constructing their own individual buildings and machines. The box doesn't contain loads of pieces which meant the children could easily construct things by themselves but I can see them wanting more pieces to add to their builds. My daughter has recently built a pendulum and we used it to practice her counting during out Science experiment.
