After finishing my Top STEM Toys lists (Part 1 and Part 2), I realized that I hadn't included toys that were focused primarily for girls. This was not exclusion of girls by any means. I purposely meant for the toy lists to be for both boys and girls and consist of more quality toys. I believe that the science toys on those lists are not gender specific, or at least they should not be. Unfortunately, though, toys have been traditionally stereotyped by toy companies and society. The problem with these stereotypes is that they have permeated society so deeply, that many parents may not even realize how their decisions and attitudes about toys may be sending messages to their children about what they should and shouldn't do in their lives-- and which activities are acceptable and which are not. ​

More and more companies are gearing toys to compliment STEM initiatives, and enthusiastic parents are following their lead. (STEM is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math.) There is also a push for STEAM in education, which incorporates STEM and the Arts. --  Many toys overlap into the creative STEM arena.

STEM toys have the advantage that they can deliver insights about the physical world to your children. Kids who play with STEM toys may be more likely to be curious about how things work in the world around them and pursue studying STEM subjects. Having a strong foundation in STEM can give kids a great launch pad for future success in this ever-growing, tech-savvy world. ​

This is Part 2 of my Top STEM Toys List. It includes Best STEM Toys in the following categories: Science, Math, Family Games, and Wee Ones. Be sure to check out Part 1, which included my overall top picks and best in the categories of Engineering, Tech, and STEAM toys.

Again, these are my recommendations for toys that I believe will provide great learning and provide hours of fun. (I am providing these lists to help you narrow down your toy searches. These are my own opinions based on my own experience or research. I have never been paid for a review. Please make sure you look at the manufacturers recommendations and review the products before purchasing.)

I encourage you to get STEM toys for your children as they provide so much in educational value and can even steer their future based on the fun learning experiences that they have now.
