Jingle Bell Drop: a STEM Christmas Activity
Inquiry-based learning for the win! – a fancy term to acknowledge that children are investigating, problem-solving, and in charge of their learning. Here is a STEM Christmas activity for kids.
Equipment
- none
Materials
- child friendly scissors
- extra boxes
- painter's tape
- paper tubes
Instructions
- Gather materials. Go around the house or dig through your recycling (that’s what I did!) to collect cardboard boxes and tubes.
- Find a good place to put the jingle bell drop.
- You can begin the activity by taping a box to the wall and then asking your child to roll the jingle bell through.Comment on whether it made it to the other side and what else you could add to make it even more epic!
- Hand off the supplies. Let your kid have free reign over the boxes and tape.You’d be amazed what they come up with!Help with securely taping boxes to the wall and railing, but make sure you step back and let them experiment.
Notes
The painter's tape did take off some of our black paint. Pick a spot that you have more flexibility with regarding house decor.
