When most people think of science, they picture indoor labs and scientists who’d rather stay inside than go out. Edx Education is defying stereotypes with its STEM toys that are great for learning both inside and out.

Edx Education’s Sand and Water Play Table looks like it is just a way to keep kids from making a mess with their sand or water toys, but it also is full of learning opportunities. When playing with water, kids can use markers on the sides of the tray to show water displacement. When they add more toys in, the water level rises! They can also explore why some objects of different shapes and sizes float while others don’t. The Sand and Water Play Table is available for $241.95 on Amazon

Tactile shells are available on Amazon for $20.99.
