Great family STEM night activity

This was a popular activity at a family STEM night, where our high school volunteers ran the activities for younger children and their families The volunteers read the story to the children. The pieces are durable, and children really enjoyed putting the pieces together. You do need water to fill the tub, and I recommend having sponges on hand for any water spills.

Perfect Indoor Winter Activity!

My child loves the Gingerbread Man story. The plastic pieces and tub you fill with water are durable. It's a fun activity that allows my child to explore creative problem solving using trial and error. The guide does offer some building suggestions for young engineers.

A lesson in persistence

My 5 yo son love loves the Gingerbread Man and was so excited to see the characters and receive the challenge after reading the story. We tried several plans for bridges and rafts. They all failed and we had to continue revising. After about a half dozen attempts we built a raft buoyant enough to keep the mans feet out of the water!

This will be a new addition to my gingerbread man

What fun the kids will have getting to play in water while being critical thinkers.
