What are STEM Toys?
S.T.E.M.: Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – our guide to the best toys for kids ages 9 and 10 who love STEM in all its forms.
Science and technology is fascinating to children. How do we know? Because we’ve all been asked by a child how something works, and stumbled when that child wasn’t satisfied with even the 7th level of answers.
That’s why it’s really important to encourage this love for learning by providing them with quality educational toys they can fully engage with. STEM toys that allow kids to experiment with ideas and concepts in order to develop their skills are very useful, but they have to be fun, too! Which is why our guide to the best STEM toys for 9–10 year olds features:
- Interactive Glow T-shirt
- Ultralight Airplanes
- Mega Cyborg Hand – Build Your Own
- Archi.Tech Smart House
- Tiny Robots – 15 Cool Motorized Builds
- SmartCore 6 – Build Your Own RC Vehicles
- Edible Chemistry Kit – 16 yummy experiments!
- Doodling Robot 4M STEAM

And what a future that will look like, huh? With these choices of the best STEM toys for children aged 9 and 10, it looks just a little brighter.
STEM is a big concept — sometimes we think kids won’t be able to understand the complexities involved, but that just isn’t true! Especially at the 9–10 age range, where foundational learning starts and pivotal choices are made about children’s interests.
Speaking of children’s interests, here are a few of our favorite science and math jokes to get a little smile or a big eye-roll:
Q: How can you make the number seven even?
A: Take the ‘s’ out.
I just saw my math teacher with some graph paper. He must be plotting something.
Q: Why is a math book depressed.
A: Because it’s got so many problems.
Teen 1: Did you hear oxygen and magnesium go together?
Teen 2: OMG!!!
Happy STEM-ing, from the Wicked Uncle Science and Math Team!
