Are you shopping for some elementary aged kids this year and want to get them a STEM themed gift? I’m compiled a few awesome gift ideas to add to your shopping cart. Check out the list below and add both science and fun to your gift.

STEM Gifts for Elementary Aged Kids

1. Remote Control Machines – Build Remote-Controlled Construction Vehicles and then drive them around? Who wouldn’t love to drive around these fun creations. In addition to driving around, their work tools also will move with the remote. This kit features 8 different models to build, and there are other kits available as well to build out your remote-controlled machine collection.
2. K’Nex Thrill Rides – Roller Coasters are fun, check out the physics of how they are made with this cool kit.
3. Snap Circuits Lights – Any thing that lights up is instantly more fun. Build circuits and see how the different components react together. This kit can build over 175 different projects!
4. Cozmo – I’ve played a bit with Cozmo and he kinda has his own little personality. There are a bunch of different games to play and ways to interact with him.
5. Telescope – Check out the stars, look for the planets, and follow the International Space Station with this awesome telescope.
6. Crystal Growing Kit – Different compounds will create a variety of crystals. Learn how to grow your own and check out the science behind it.
7. Microscope – Investigate the world up close with this fun microscope.
8. Circuit Scribe – Draw your circuits! This kit features a conductive ink so you can actually draw your circuits.
9. Newton’s Law Set – Start off physics early by learning Newton’s Law with this great set.
10. Gravity Maze – Enhance your 3D visual skills with this mind-bending game that looks super fun.

Hopefully this list gives you some good ideas for STEM gifts if you have an Elementary aged kid on your list (or even older, I know a few adults who would enjoy these gifts).
