Lego challenge cards, symbol supported for non / early readers. Some are Christmas themed as I’ve just made them to try and keep my children busy during this last week. Children choose or are given a card which gives an instruction - e.g. build a Christmas tree / first letter of your name and use Lego to build as instructed. It’s a fairly open ended activity but my hope is to provide more structure and purpose to play for my children with autism as some have very short attention spans and flit from activity to activity without any meaningful engagement. 24 cards in all, best printed onto card or laminated so they last.

STEM Challenges is a fun way to incorporate science, technology and design into your classroom. This packet focuses on STEM challenges with a Back to School theme. Each activity in this book includes step by step instructions, large challenge card with instructions, six page STEM mini-journal and a one page quick STEM page. The STEM, STEAM or Makerspace challenges are: Apple Schoolhouse Sculpture Sitting on Me Block Playground Cardboard Challenge Student Backpack There are two different options for your students to use to journal their STEM challenges. The first is a mini-booklet that they can make which has a half of piece of paper to work on each section of the design process. This option gives the students more room to work on the design process. The second option is a quick STEM printable you can use which saves paper, while giving students to develop their project using design methodology. Each option has its own benefits and you can use which one suits your needs. You can also attach both options into a stem notebook if you have one available for each student. All artwork is original and create by myself. Thanks for looking at my products, Yvonne Crawford

This is a fantastic product to introduce to your STEM students, or eager engineers. Similar to "Story Cubes", these are "STEM Cubes". Students roll all the cubes together, and position them to be face up after rolling. Students will determine which materials they can select, how much of each material, how much time they have to build, and can even be suggested a topic to build. Set these cubes out as an independent center, team building, group work, etc... ***PLEASE NOTE*** You must provide your students with the variety of materials featured on the dice in order for them to complete the task successfully. All materials are easily accessible no matter where you are. This packet includes: 5 Materials dice (with varying materials) 1 Quantity dice (to declare how much of each material) 1 Minutes dice (to show how much time students have to build) 1 Design dice (with suggestions for students on what to build) 1 Blank Minutes dice (for teachers to choose their own timings) 1 Blank Quantity dice (for teachers to choose their own quantities) Please make sure to rate and leave feedback!
