Saying “I Love You” With STEM Toys

I received products/compensation in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

When I was younger, my grandma would always get me a little gift for every holiday. The gifts wouldn’t be expensive but just something special and it is a tradition my mom now carries to my own children. It is funny because as a busy mom who is constantly buying stuff for my kids, I don’t think to get them things for all those smaller holidays.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, you may think to get the traditional chocolates as gifts but what about a toy? What about a set for your child to make their own candies or build themselves a fun creation? What about a toy that is also educational, as in STEM designed.

Here are 2 Hot STEM Toys to Check Out This Year:

One of them is from Thames Kosmos and the other is from Magformers. Both will allow kids to create something amazing and then play or eat them!
