Exciting engineering experiments for kids ages 3 to 5

Kids are curious about how stuff works! They like to ask questions, come up with ideas, and try things out for themselves. Big Engineering Experiments for Little Kids helps activate their imaginations and shows them real engineering in action. When STEAM learning starts early, kids can prepare for scholastic success and a lifelong habit of creative and analytical thinking.

Dive into engineering for kids with:

• 20 kid-friendly experiments—With some basic household items, kids can build a spaghetti bridge, construct a flying paper airplane, and feel how sound travels through their body!
• Easy instructions—These experiments are simple enough for kids to do with just a little help from a grownup, so they can practice independent learning.
• Engineering exploration—Each experiment shows off a different facet of engineering for kids, with explanations and thoughtful questions that illustrate how it works.

Encourage little ones to explore the workings of the world with a fun book of activities that explore engineering for kids.
