Best Bang for Your Buck Boredom Busters STEM Kits for Little Kids to Big Kids
We’re a month into our shelter in place, and New Yorkers just learned they will have to stay put until May 15th or even later. At this point, we’re all just waiting to see what happens next. Children who are at home morning, noon, and night may not understand the gravity of the situation, and parents and caregivers have to make playtime engaging and educational, which is why I have great toys and kits for little kids to big kids with links to buy!
Minimize screen time and introduce STEM sets into playtime fostering skills kids would learn along the way while in a traditional school setting. Not only will these toys reduce boredom, but they provide quality time and make playtime fun and educational!
