STEM Toys for Christmas!

On my lunchtime outing from the office and into Stevenage town centre I popped into one of the shops looking for ideas for Christmas presents for my nieces (both 4 now) and I found this 'Build your own Den' kit! ?

Love the idea of getting them to build their own little houses/towers/castles/shops all while learning how things are constructed and all about the laws of physics and structural integrity etc!  The only pity is that it's kind of gender stereotyped by having just a young boy depicted on the packaging which means that both my nieces will complain that it's a 'boys toy' and 'not for girls' ... ?


So why didn't they think to picture both a boy and a girl on the packaging?  Or maybe they do a 'pink' girls version separately... ?


If you have any other ideas for STEM themed toys to entertain a couple of four year old's over the Holiday season then I'd love to hear them!

    Meccano and lego with motors, solar PV, hydrogen and electric remote control models, kits and toys all make for good STEM introduction and enjoyment for the 5 to 80 age bracket, ?
