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

Great ideas

Lots of ideas for good activities using stuff you might have around the house with clear photos. Great for 5-8 I would think.

Such a great book for early engineering concepts my grandchildren love it well worth the money

Awesome book we bought it with all the resources needed our son loves it!!!

bought for a 6 yrar old boy

Very good book, daughter enjoying it

Simple and fun

It seems like it’s aimed more for teachers/educators as ideas for lessons. Some great ideas in there, but not suitable for a 7 year old to engage with - lack of pictures, instructions are simply written out, some artistic photography to illustrate. I was expecting step-by-steps with lots of pictures. I’m returning as not suitable for me - would work for a teacher!

Fácil, simples e divertido!

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.

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.
