If you're looking for creative and easy ideas to keep the kids busy during Easter, you've come to the right place. These Easter STEM projects are simple, use equipment you probably already have, and most importantly, they're a lot of fun!
Easter Egg Chain Reaction
We spent hours setting up different egg chain reactions Last year. These are great because you can use whatever you have at home. Line up books like dominoes, roll balls towards cars, cars down a ramp, or even roll eggs. You can make it as simple or as complex as you like.
One year we did a huge outdoor chain reaction that involved rolling a giant ball down a slide.
Egg conveyor belt
Build a Egg conveyor beltI used cardboard eggs, but you can try making them sturdy enough to carry mini eggs.
Conveyor belt is simply paper wrapped around a dowel. The paper is secured at each end with tape and wound around one end.
Egg zipline
This is one of my most popular. Easter STEM ChallengesBuild one! Mini outdoor zipline for a small chocolate egg. You can also do this on a larger scale and use a large egg.
Parachute for an egg
Build a parachute for an egg Using paper, fabric, or even an old plastic bag. If you don't want to build a parachute, try wrapping the egg in different materials to protect it from a fall.
Another idea is to find a large pipe and drop eggs wrapped in different materials into it to see if they break!
Opening the chick's egg
Use a pneumatic system Make a cardboard egg crack open to reveal a chick!
This principle would work with many different themes. Dinosaurs are next on our list!
Crash Test Eggs
Build a vehicle to protect an egg in case of a collision.This could be made from K'nex, LEGO, or even recycled materials!
A simple version of this idea is to wrap an egg in protective materials such as paper or bubble wrap and drop it into a cardboard tube.
