STEAM toys are great educational toys needed for kids of all ages! We recently got the opportunity to review the Smartivity Music Machine! With this kit, my son built a mechanical xylophone that he could use to play and compose his own tunes! The Smartivity line has a lot of other cool STEM and STEAM toys in its line, and they are definitely worth a look!
Behind The Smartivity Concept
Smartivity Do-It-Yourself activity kits provide an understanding of concepts through play. The products are made from high-quality, recyclable, safe, non-toxic, and sustainable materials. They provide a mess-free assembly using rubber bands, so no glue required. Kids make these kits at home with ease! Designed with STEM/STEAM learning principles in mind, these kits come with illustrated, easy-to-understand instructions to complete and play with each finished project!
Building the Music Machine
My 17-year old loves anything that is hands on. He enjoys building things still and loves music, STEM/STEAM toys, coding, and anything that requires thinking skills. It took him an evening to build this. He said it was a lot of fun to build and that the instructions were easy to follow. It pleased him that the pegs were easily moveable. He looks forward to creating his own music with this music machine too!
The Wrap Up
When searching for STEM/STEAM toys, definitely check out the Smartivity line. Find them on the Elenco website or Amazon. These toys work best for children ages 8 and up. These definitely make great gift ideas for teens, especially if you want something that isn’t screen-based!
