DECODING STEM/STEAM THE TOY ASSOCIATION STEM/STEAM STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP COMMITTEE REPORT
I liked this article because it gives educators, parents, and caregivers information on the importance of introducing STEM and STEAM toys to young children. Playing with STEM/STEAM essential toys helps build children's STEAM skills and gain their interest in STEAM activities. This is not just playing for children; it allows children to develop skills they will need throughout their education and prepare them for the future.

Little Tikes Science Lab Table

I like this product for the children to have at home to keep children engaged in STEM. This science table because it introduces the children to the foundational STEM concepts that give children an early advantage in education. It also allows the children to use hands-on activities that teach them about STEM by using everyday household products to complete different science activities. But this product is not built for a preschool classroom or a childcare center. Using toys like this when my children were younger, the products needed to be more durable and sturdy. And looking at the size, only a few children can utilize this science lab table.

I liked this book because it can be a fun way to explain to children that our experiments will not always go as planned, and it's okay. Children will learn that this is how scientists test their scientific hypotheses. I did like the way the book was read or the way it was recorded. However, this would likely lose some children's interest in the story.
