Snap Circuts
For kids that love hands-on learning, this is the perfect gift! There are a lot of different Snap Circuits sets available and they’re all pretty awesome for kids ages 8+.
The sets allow kids to snap together different circuits and discover all kinds of possibilities. My kids will literally play with this STEM toy for hours, both using the instruction modules and exploring to make their own discoveries.
Osmo Genius Kit for iPad or Kindle Fire Tablet
The Osmo Genius Kit for Fire Tablet (Amazon Exclusive) and the Osmo Genius Kit for iPad are recommended for kids ages 5-12. These award-winning games make math, spelling – even geometry fun!
Please note that this is just the Osmo Kit and does not include an iPad or Kindle FireTablet.
Let’s Start Coding
This Let’s Start Coding: Base Coding Kit for Kids contains 12 electronic pieces and reference cards, plus its own carrying case. The best part, there are free software and projects compatible with Windows, Mac, and Chromebook computers.
Virtual Reality Starter Pack
This one looks pretty low tech, right? It’s actually really cool! the classic 3D View-Master has been around for 75 years, but now it’s been redesigned with the latest technology. With it’s retro vibe, this View-Master Virtual Reality Starter Pack is a fun idea for any kid (or kid at heart!)
Star Wars Inventor Kit
I know one eleven-year-old (and his father!) who would just love to find this Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit under the Christmas tree this year! Star Wars fans will totally geek out over this coding toy that has more than 22 missions. (Note, this requires a smart device).
