I can’t really believe it, but today is the last day in the 31 days of STEM activities for kids series.
We’ve had so much fun learning about science, technology, engineering, and finally math.
Today, we’re wrapping up math with a round-up of all of the hands-on math projects that we did this month.
Most of our experiments we did with both Bo (2) and Monkey (9), so the activities work for a wide range of ages and abilities.
For even more fun math projects, gather a few friends and complete the challenges together!
Add these math challenges to your list of fun math activities for kids!
