Turn story time into a hands-on STEM adventure!
After reading There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Spoon!, young engineers take on a silly Christmas STEM challenge inspired by the Old Lady's unusual appetite!
The Old Lady likes to swallow things—and this time, some of those things are VERY large!
How will they solve this problem?
Young engineers will imagine, plan, and build a device that can help the Old Lady swallow the large items that ultimately produce a gingerbread house.
They'll design their solution, build it with the materials provided, test their ideas, and make improvements along the way—just like real engineers.
There isn't one right solution. The fun is in figuring out a creative way to help the Old Lady solve her very unusual problem!
Everything you need for a complete Storybook STEM experience is already gathered, organized, and ready to use.
Each STEM Story Box includes:
A copy of There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Spoon!
The story-inspired STEM challenge
Planning, blueprint, and reflection pages
Challenge cards and printed materials
A file folder to keep everything organized
A reusable supply box
Building materials for completing the challenge
Open the box. Read the story. Do the STEM challenge.
Perfect for Christmas break, family STEM time, homeschool learning, classrooms, or a holiday gift for a young reader who loves silly stories, building, creating, and solving problems.
