STEAM is the traditional STEM + Art. This ebook is packed with creative ways to integrate STEM disciplines into everyday fun and learning for preschoolers. This ebook is for you if you have a child or teach children around three-to-five years old and you are looking for ideas to integrate science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics into every day play and learning. The ebook includes 30+ Hands On Minds On activities to compliment and enrich preschool learning.
The art section of this book is wanting -- at least it's not the type of art I think is actually useful for preschoolers (for that, see Don't Move the Muffin Tin). I also didn't really like the technology part. But the rest was wonderful! Fairly easy ideas that totally engage the children in real learning that I haven't seen again and again and again. Searching for quality, educational preschool activities online is seriously hit-or-miss, mostly miss. Many activities put most of the work on the adults, creating things that photograph well, because, I don't know, that's the sort of stuff that brings more readers to a blog? That's not the case here. The activities are actually for the children, and they seem really interesting and fun. I'm excited to try some of these out.
