Why parents love it: If your child is a budding gearhead, then this is the perfect STEAM toy set to get them intrigued about automotive engineering. Don’t let the number of pieces intimidate you though, because this LEGO building kit is actually a great activity to do with your child. While the assembly process is complex, it’s challenging enough to keep kids interested. LEGO enthusiasts rave about this set, as it includes a working six-cylinder engine, suspension, steering plus other authentic interior details. The finished model is said to be nearly half a metre-long, so you’ll need to find space in your display case once it’s fully assembled. The Amazon.sg STEAM Store is also rolling out a 25% discount on all purchases of the LEGO 51515 Robot Inventor and the LEGO Boost Creative Toolbox Fun Robot Building Set between 25 August and 1 September 2021!

The pieces are colourful and easy to play with and keep curious little ones busy for hours.

The inflatable planets are rather large, and it makes for a great display either on the ceiling or on a larger shelf. There’s a vinyl repair kit just in case the planets develop holes over time.
The Secret Explorers and the Jurassic Rescue
Suitable for: Ages 7 – 9
Delivery: Local
Why parents love it: This fun STEAM book is part of The Secret Explorers series, and each book features a different exciting adventure (a great way to encourage kids to discover their own passions, if you ask us!), real-life facts that relate to the adventure in question and plenty of additional content like quizzes, educational diagrams and a glossary. This particular book revolves around a diverse group of young STEAM experts who go back in time to the age of dinosaurs so they can save one dino egg from being destroyed. But first, they’ll need to use all their wits to outsmart a cunning Allosaurus, rescue a baby Stegosaurus and find out how to attract an Archaeopteryx. Not only is the narrative engaging, but there are also lots of fun illustrations and dino-related facts.
Engino Discovering STEM Fluid Dynamics
Suitable for: Ages 8 – 16
Delivery: Local (available with Prime Delivery)
Why parents love it: Science lovers will get to discover the history behind the physics principles they learn in the classroom today, understand real-world applications and more via the kit’s learning and instruction manual. This STEAM toy kit covers the fundamentals of fluid dynamics concepts and theories, explaining questions such as how blood flows through your body, why some objects float and others don’t, and even how the weather works. They’ll even be introduced to popular figures such as Archimedes, Pascal and Bernoulli and get a full lesson in how their principles were first formulated and how they are still relevant in the modern world.
