Stick Raft Building STEM Activity

, by . Leave a Comment

It’s always good when it’s hot outside to add a little water play to your activities.

If your kids like to collect sticks, this idea from Kids Craft Room will be super simple to set up. Kids can design and build their own rafts and sails, then test them out to see how long they float and how much weight they can hold.

If you don’t already have a trove of sticks, add a nature walk or collecting sticks from around the yard to this activity.
