5 FUN HANDS-ON ENGINEERING KITS FOR KIDS

Categories Engineering Activities

STEM activities for kids are some of our favorite things. That’s why we love
engineering kits! As part of our STEM gifts series, we checked out these hands
on engineering kits for kids to find the very best kids engineering kits!

We decided to do this because we are never far from thinking about STEM
activities and how to bring more engineering into our lives.

Read on to learn about these fun hands on engineering kits that kids will love!





THE BEST ENGINEERING KITS FOR KIDS

We love to add more engineering to our day, which is why we chose to try out
these fun kids engineering kits! You’ll find a selection of our favorite kits
below.





AMAZINGLY FUN AND EDUCATIONAL ENGINEERING KITS

Here are some of our favorite engineering kits that kids can use to learn about
engineering!

IDO3D ENGINEERING KIT

The IDO3D kits are a set of 3D gel pens that cure through UV light exposure that
you can use to create elaborate designs and experiments for kids. Each kit
contains an idea booklet for various 3D projects.

IDO3D assembly is completed by creating 2D structural supports and then “gluing”
them together with additional gel paint to create 3D structures. Monkey selected
a design for a 3D skatepark.

Inside each IDO3D box you will find:

 * Gel pens (ours had five pens with three colors)
 * Instructional booklet
 * Shape forms (to make spherical designs)
 * UV flashlight (Requires 3 AAA batteries, not included)
 * Plastic tracing sheet



Because we wanted to add this to our engineering projects for kids, Monkey
selected a template for a 3D skateboard half-pipe.

The creation process is simple.

 1. Place the plastic sheet over the desired outline and use the gel pens to
    trace the design.
 2. Cure each piece with the UV flashlight (we found that 10 seconds a side was
    the perfect curing time)
 3. Use small dabs of gel to glue the pieces together and complete the 3D
    engineering project.
 4. The project is fully cured when it is no longer flexible.

All our pieces ready for final assembly.


Monkey had a blast creating her 3D engineering project and was extremely
impressed when the 3D skateboard park came together.

If you wanted to make the project even more challenging, make your kids come up
with their own design rather than allowing your kids to use the pre-made
templates. 

This will help your children learn how structural integrity works and the
importance of symmetry for 3D designs. 

The finished skateboard park.


Project notes:

 * If the outlines are sticky when you touch them, they need additional curing
   time.
 * Building the project outside in direct sunlight speeds curing time.
 * Some of the ink cured faster than others. Our green ink seemed to cure the
   fastest, while red took the longest. We used green for all of our project
   “gluing” because it seemed to dry faster.
 * Bo, at almost 3, is too young for this project. However, she still enjoyed
   holding the flashlight to cure the gel.




TINKERING LABS ELECTRIC MOTORS CATALYST STEM KIT 

I like this engineering STEM kit because it includes simple parts made of things
like wood, but it also has motors and circuits and kids can build a variety of
simple machines.


SIMPLE MACHINES MECHANICAL ENGINEERING KIT

For even more machine building fun, this mechanical engineering kit helps kids
learn about the physics behind why certain machines are built the way they are
in real life.

FORT BUILDING STEM TOYS KIT

Engineering doesn’t have to be complicated. This simple fort building kit can
help kids explore the most basic rules of building and engineering.


SOLAR ROBOT KIT

Build a robot and learn about electrical engineering, circuits, and solar power!


CIRCUIT BOARD ENGINEERING KIT

Kids interested in electrical engineering can try out this fun circuit board
engineering kit for a safe exploration of electricity and circuits!
