Looking for festive fun for your family this Christmas? Well, our Santa Loves STEM is back!

They will be able to get in the festive spirit with our fun craft ideas, recipes, hands-on experiments, and resources, which provide STEM-inspired learning through play.

We really do have something for ever interest and children can try their hand at some festive baking with marshmallow snowballs or flex their creative writing skills with a poem to Santa.

From electric dough experiments to snow globe making, we have an exciting array of ideas to suit four to 13-year-olds.

For those passionate about climate change, we have a fun experiment for kids to help Santa examine how heat passes through animals who need to insulate as well as information on affordable and recycled STEM toys which help develop their curiosity and nurture valuable skills.

Any budding bakers? Why not get them to try their hand at our gingerbread house-making activity and use our guided resource to get kids’ brains whizzing about the science and maths behind the final creation.

Edible stained-glass windows are also on the menu alongside a delicious yule log recipe looking at how materials change state.

So, why not visit Santa’s STEM workshop this year and help us spread the word to schools, teachers, friends and family.

If you also take the opportunity to try any of the activities with your children, then we’d love to see your final creations or ideas, so please share your pictures to our social media channels @IETEducation using #SantasSTEMworkshop or #SantaLovesSTEM.

We can’t wait to see them!
