Stem house building activities

Try out this Three Little Pigs STEM project for kids. Build the house that is the strongest and can withstand the gusts of wind!

Treehouse Geometry STEM Challenge - Design and build a model of your dream treehouse using 3D shapes in this exciting STEM project.

Next time you read The Three Little Pigs, ask you child to make their own house out of straw ... well, rather, straws - drinking straws to be precise! This activity will really bring out your child's inner engineer. Supplies Plastic drinking straws (bendy ones work but others would be better) Chenille stems (aka pipe cleaners) Scissors Prep Cut several pipe cleaners into 2-3 inch long lengths. Design. Build.
