The initial excitement of the back-to-school season might be over, so it’s a perfect time to introduce new STEM toys! Parents can reignite their kids’ interest in science, technology, math, and English with Wondery Kids and Wow in the World’s new toy collection.
There are more than 10 educational toys in the line, including the Dino Dig & Diorama, The Ultimate High-Flying Air Rocket, Break Open Crystal Gedoes, and the Sea Creatures Aquarium. Kids can dig for dinosaurs and discover what era they lived in, crack open and geodes while learning about their origin, and experiment with aerodynamics. If your little learner is looking for more, you can add the Light-Up Terrarium and Kids’ Binoculars & Nature Explorer Kids to your after school (or holiday break) schedule.
Each toy pairs with companion audio so kids can listen to their favorite podcast hosts Guy Raz and Mindy Thomas! As kids play and create with the STEM kits, they’ll learn interesting facts about the natural world from the familiar voices. With the help of the hosts, kids can figure out how crystals and rainbows are related, why some plants and glow in the dark, and more.
The collection is available at the links below and at select retailers like Barnes & Noble. Have fun — in the name of science!
