14 STEM Christmas Gifts that Kids Will Love!

Giving STEM Christmas gifts to kids are the gifts that keep giving. Any of the gifts listed below are meant to challenge and excite kids who already love STEM or are new to the idea of STEM activities. Many of these gifts can be used with kids of ages and are educational for all.

Use this holiday season as a great way to encourage STEM learning on a daily basis. Once kids find out how much fun STEM can be, they will be more excited to do the “boring” school subjects like math and science.

Along with other STEM gifts, which you can find on our main list of STEM gifts for kids, here are some of the best STEM Christmas Gifts for kids.

14 of the best STEM Christmas gifts that kids will enjoy playing with and won't end up covered in dust in a closet months later! Ideas for kids from preschool through middle school! Kids will have a blast learning and playing with these STEM toys.

STEM Christmas Gifts that Kids Will Actually Love

Sometimes adults give kids gifts that don’t really feel fun or enjoyable for the children. These gifts sit unused in a closet until the child’s parent donates them to a thrift shop. Not so the STEM Christmas gifts on this list!

These STEM christmas gifts will have kids playing and laughing and learning all at the same time.

How to Pick a STEM Gift for a Child

If you are choosing a STEM Christmas gift, always put the interests of the child first. If the child likes building, look for engineering kits like in our kids engineering gift guide. Or if science is what the child loves, pick something like Science Experiment Kits for Elementary.

Or if you know the child loves a particular theme, like dinosaurs or fairies, choose a STEM gift that includes that theme.
