If you’re the parent of a toddler or an elementary school kid, you’re probably used to their cute questions. The questions could range from as simple as “what colors are in the rainbow?” to “how do boats float?”. Children just have a natural curiosity that you should encourage them to explore. That’s why I’ve put together a list of 15 simple STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) projects for kids to enjoy!

8. Recycled Earth Day Projects With Toilet Paper Rolls
These are strange times we’re living in. I never thought we’d be stuck at home for literally months on end, homeschooling while trying to get our own work done. But here we are. There’s no just popping out to the store for last-minute craft supplies, and even having an Amazon Prime membership doesn’t guarantee your packages will get here anytime soon. So with the 50th anniversary of Earth Day coming up, I started thinking about easy Earth Day recycled crafts and projects we could do with things we already have on hand.
