Screens can be a shortcut to STEM learning, but some of the most meaningful discoveries happen with hands-on exploration. Whether you’re raising a budding builder, a curious problem-solver, or a young naturalist, these toys spark engagement without requiring an app or a battery. They encourage real-world skills like critical thinking, fine motor development, and perseverance—all while giving kids the joy of creating, testing, and imagining on their own terms. Here are our favorite screen-free STEM toys that deliver real educational value while still being fun enough for kids to keep reaching for them.
Toys I’m considering for the kids I’m buying for this year. I’m trying to stay away from electronics and focus on learning toys, things that help with fine motor skills or dexterity.
first time mom of a 6 month old baby girl. we spend a lot of time traveling so a lot of our recommendations are for easy travel, entertainment and just peace and mind that you have everything.
What we have purchased ourselves, things we've been gifted, and some items that are still on our wishlist before our baby arrives this November. I'm doing my best to be relatively minimal, but of course wanting every cute thing I see.
I personally like to buy my grandbabies “educational” toys. Growing up I had to use my imagination and pretend a lot. Outside play, riding bikes, playing in the sandbox, playing on the swing set, jump rope, board games and hop scotch. Electronics have taken over and I am seeing more gamers and couch potatoes. Here I'm recommending and reminiscing popular toys today and popular toys from back in the day.

It took me so long to decide on a theme for my baby boys nursery! I was super indecisive.

His nursery turned out so cute and it's so fun seeing him love dinosaurs as a toddler!
My daughter is a Thanksgiving baby, and is turning 3. My husband's birthday is 2 days before hers. To beat the hectic season, we threw her a birthday 2 weeks early. All she asked for was an Elsa birthday. I needed to keep it easy and festive, so we chose cupcakes at the park. I also served juice, uncrustables, applesauce packets, and an array of cracker/chip options. All the kids had a good time.
Here you can find the items I purchased to make sure this simple celebration still had sparkle!
I have traveled with my daughter a ton- and I have learned what works and what doesn't. Get a backpack, buy a few small toys (I usually bring one toy for every 90 minutes of flight time). WRAP THE TOYS! Let them unwrap one every 90 minutes or so. Remember- you are allowed to utilize the iPad if it's not going your way. That does not make you a bad mom or parent. Traveling is hectic as it is, lets make it easier on ourselves! We typically let her choose one small blanket and a stuffed animal to bring. We also always pack her pillow case so she has something that smells like home. All of the items I have listed have truly made our flights and travel lives easier. Not just flights- also long car rides!
