January 2016 New Specialty Toys — STEM Skills

Our new interactive line of educational science kits.  Each kit explores a different topic and includes an educational booklet, 40" tall coloring poster with markers and hands-on learning activities.

The Build with Stickers projects combine two things children love — stickers and building. Each kit includes novel stickering techniques — no glue involved — and all the materials to engineer, explore and turn their creations into playful, imagination inspiring toys. They get the educational bonus of engaging with engineering, physics and math through a fun-filled approach. Rising STEM stars can build a race car or learn about physics by crafting a sun lounge.

Based on today’s contemporary building techniques, ARCKIT 60 consists of a series of interconnecting modular components permitting you to design, build and modify multiple structures.
