Awesome Engineering Activities for Kids: 50+ Exciting STEAM Projects to Design and Build (Awesome STEAM Activities for Kids)

Awesome Engineering Activities for Kids is a fantastic resource for sparking creativity and curiosity in young minds. My son absolutely loves diving into the variety of hands-on STEAM projects in this book. With over 50 activities, it offers endless hours of fun while encouraging critical thinking, problem-solving, and an understanding of engineering principles. The projects are well-organized, with clear instructions and illustrations that make it easy for kids to follow along. Many of the materials required are everyday household items, making the activities accessible and budget-friendly. From designing simple machines to building creative structures, the projects cater to a wide range of interests and skill levels. What stands out most is how the book balances fun with education. Each activity provides a brief explanation of the engineering concepts behind the project, which helps kids learn as they build. My son not only enjoys the hands-on experience but also gets excited about the “why” behind the designs. This book is perfect for kids who love exploring and creating, whether they’re working independently or alongside a parent or teacher. It’s a great way to introduce STEAM concepts in an engaging and memorable way.

Amazing Book for Curious Kids! My son absolutely loved Awesome Engineering Activities for Kids! The projects are fun, creative, and easy to follow—even I enjoyed doing them with him. It kept him engaged for hours and really sparked his curiosity about how things work. I loved that most of the materials were things we already had at home, and he felt so proud every time he finished a project. It’s a perfect mix of learning and play, and a great way to introduce kids to engineering and STEAM concepts. Highly recommend for any parent looking to encourage hands-on learning in a fun, meaningful way!

Fun, engaging, and educational. Keeps kids entertained while helping them learn!

Creative activity book for kids, some work better than others but overall has some fun ideas to try.

This book is awesome. I love that the supplies that you need are very simple. I can walk through all of these with my 4 year old but as she gets older will do more of it and I’ll do less. What I’m trying to say is that it’s great for a variety of ages!! We built the bridge together and she had SO much fun!

My son loves science! These are awesome engineering activities! Most of the items in the activities you have lying around your house so it’s super convenient! Here’s some sample pages of the cool activities. I got this for my second grader, but we still have some left to do for third grade!

Just got this book and already a huge fan for my 7 year old. It’s very child friendly for reading and I love that each page has colorful pictures. Makes enticing and my son can see it in action. Do you see all of those saved projects?? Even just looking through the book grabbed his attention and makes him excited to engineer these so I’m happy! My favorite part is that I already have most of these items in my home!!

I almost passed on this book due to the bad reviews but those people must not understand that: 1) yes, all this can be found online but you’re paying for convenience of it all compiled into one book without having to listen to some blogger’s backstory of why they chose to share their favorite project and it’s as-free. It’s concise and to the point. 2) these projects are meant for children. You’re not going to build a functional telephone or parachute. It’s meant to be simple enough for a young child to master and understand the CONCEPT. My preschooler LOVES this book. I imagine a child that can read on their own would love to do projects by themselves. We’ve completed 6 projects so far (only had the book a week) and all materials were common household items. This has captured my children’s interest and they beg to do projects and enjoy just browsing the book. I love it. This would be a great gift to give along with some commonly needed supplies- tape, yarn, ruler, etc. 100% recommend.

Fácil, simples e divertido!

Great ideas

A book with many practical small experiments. Some are a bit similar. This is good for kids around 5. For 6-year-old, some are a bit too simple, so not that interesting. But in general, a good and easy to manage guidance.

Buenas ideas

My rating is based on I bought this for one of our grand kids and when he opened it Christmas Eve he was very pleased about all the experiments he can do. He will definetly let me know if I am to change my rating.
