STEAM Activities to Keep Your Kiddos Busy

Keeping kids active and engaged in learning is usually something parents and caregivers need to worry about in the summer months, not now, in March. Thankfully, the Programs team here at Do Space is already researching activities for summer. Here are some of my favorite STEAM based activities, many of which you can do with things you probably already have at home, to keep kids active and engaged in learning. Most of these are for elementary school aged kids, but a few of them are suitable for preschoolers and a few of them your tweens and teens might enjoy.
