For example, if you're looking for toys that will help your child learn about animals then you may want to purchase some stuffed animals or books about animals. Our favorites include Gummy Bear slime and Marshmallow slime, but we have a nice variety of textures and supplies. A good STEAM or STEM activity will include at least 2 or 3 of these aspects and a great one will include all five.
