Are you looking for great STEM gifts this year? We’ve been lucky enough to review some brilliant products over the last few years, here are some of our favourites!
A bottle rocket kit is always fun! Please note you’ll need a plastic bottle and bicycle pump to use this.
Microscope and Camera Kit
Some gifts are timeless and a microscope is one, although this premium version is much easier to use than my childhood microscope. It comes with a digital camera eyepiece making it very easy to use and means you can save and share images easily!

Electro Dough Kit
This DIY Electro dough Kit from Tech will Save Us is fantastic! We’ve had hours and hours of fun playing with ours and you can experiment with making your own play dough too!
Erupting Volcano
Another great find this year is this volcano model from Learning Resources. It splits in half so you can the inside of a volcano and has a handy container for your eruptions.
Test Tubes and Droppers
We love these great children’s Test Tubes
STEM Dolls for Kids
Lottie Dolls have a great STEM range, prefect for inspiring imaginative play. We love how the dolls are so child-like and perfectly sized for little hands. There are lots of different accessories available too!
Hexbugs
How about some hexbugs to make these fun spinning pens or a hexbug maze?
Magformers
My 3 year old loves his Magformers
Marble Runs
We have this marble run
Magnet Kits
My favourite magnet kit
Drill Buddies
My 3 year old loves his Drill Buddies truck and space rocket from Learning Resources. It took him a few goes to get the hang of it and he was so thrilled when he could do it alone. These have definitely been a great addition to our toy cupboard.
I’m also hoping to get him the Numberblocks set for Christmas from Learning Resources.
Construction toys
LEGO is so handy for all sorts of experiments and great for imaginative play, logic, fine motor skills and just generally great fun! We love a big box of bricks as well as a themed set. Zoobs and K’Nex are also great for building with.
Science Books
If your children love a good science book I have some brilliant science book recommendations here, including my very own This IS Rocket Science.
