“Oh, my favorite this year?” says James Zahn, the senior editor of
The Toy Insider. “I'm going
to go with the Lukey Labs Robo Max Trex. This one is a 3-foot tall robotic
dinosaur that actually has lights and sounds."

From a giant robot your child
can build, to using the Incredible Inflatable Aero Dancer to teach kids about
velocity and the way motors work, Zahn has some unique and affordable STEM toy picks on his list!
Zahn says the toys will make
parents feel good about what they're giving to their kids for the holidays,
especially now.
“In this era we live in where
folks are spending more time at home and kids are tethered to electronic
devices, you got to wonder about what they're actually learning and with STEM
and in some cases we call it STEAM -- science, technology, engineering, arts
and math -- kids are playing, but they're actually learning as they play so
it's a way to make learning fun,” says Zahn.
The STEM or STEAM toys run
from $20 to no more than $60.
