Play is how kids learn the skills they need for success in school and in life, and STEAM is no exception. NGCP partnered with The Genius of Play to bring you this collection of play ideas and ready-to-use activities to help you spark a child’s interest in these important subjects. Every play idea includes tips for making the activity simpler or more complex, so you can easily modify it depending on the child’s age. Best of all, the play ideas are easy to set up and use common materials you can easily find around the house
