About our program
STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) concepts to toddlers can be a fun and engaging way to foster early learning and development. Here are some example of STEAM activities for toddlers that we do:
Sensory Exploration: Set up sensory bins with materials like rice, sand, water, or playdough. Add objects of different textures and shapes for toddlers to explore.
Building Blocks: Provide soft building blocks to encourage basic engineering skills. Toddlers can stack, knock down, and rebuild, developing spatial awareness and fine motor skills.
Nature Walks: Take toddlers on nature walks to explore the outdoors. Point out different plants, animals, and natural elements, fostering an early interest in science and the environment.
Simple Science Experiments: Conduct easy and safe science experiments, such as mixing colors with water or observing objects that float or sink. Use simple language to explain the concepts.
Art Exploration: Encourage creative expression through art activities. Provide various art supplies and let toddlers experiment with colors, shapes, and textures.
Shape Sorting: Use toys or objects with different shapes and sizes for sorting activities. This helps toddlers develop early math skills and recognition of basic geometric shapes.
Storytime with STEM Books: Incorporate STEM-themed books into your storytime routine. Look for age-appropriate books that introduce basic concepts like counting, shapes, and cause-and-effect.
DIY Musical Instruments: Create simple musical instruments using household items. Toddlers can explore sounds and rhythms, promoting an early understanding of basic physics and patterns.
Puzzle Play: Introduce puzzles with large, simple pieces. This helps toddlers enhance problem-solving skills and spatial reasoning.
Color Mixing: Explore color mixing by combining primary colors. Use finger painting or colored water in containers to make the learning experience hands-on.
Outdoor Play: Incorporate outdoor activities that involve movement and exploration. This could include playing with balls, going on nature scavenger hunts, or observing bugs and insects.
Pattern Recognition: Use everyday objects to create simple patterns for toddlers to identify. This can be done with toys, snacks, or even patterns on clothing.
Cooking Activities: Involve toddlers in simple cooking activities. Let them measure ingredients, mix, and observe how ingredients transform during the cooking process.
Interactive Technology: Introduce age-appropriate educational apps or interactive games that focus on early learning concepts. Supervise screen time and ensure it aligns with your educational goals.
