A wave of STEM on a shore of learning for your little ocean explorer

To a young and curious mind, fun is just another word for learning. Being taught something might be memorable but learning something is unforgettable, and that’s the whole essence of education that aims at holistic learning and development. Resting on the pillars of science and fun, STEAM learning offers active engagement that ensures an immersive session, concept clarity, and a solid foundation for wholesome learning for your child. 

Holistic development has many aspects, and since playtime is a crucial part of a child’s life at any given point, our range of STEAM learning kits and activities aim at marrying their playtime with unforgettable learning that helps them grow emotionally, intellectually, as well as socially. In a child’s formative years, however, learning holds an even deeper importance. A child invests most of their time in play and the exposure their toys and play bring create lasting impressions on their mind and behaviour. When playtime is what shapes their personality, STEAM learning is a great way to introduce them to the concepts and skills they need to ace in life. 

Our 7-in-1 range of Smartivity Kits and activities strive for Holistic Development Rainbow with each activity/kit offering a specific lifetime skill. The seven skills that our Holistic Development targets are as follows.

Our latest Little Sparks Ocean Explorer 7-in-1 Activity Kit is the first of many educational learning tools in the form of a sea toy that target each of these skills with a fun, engaging, immersive activity that prompts your child to think, learn, create, and enjoy at the same time.

Activity #1 | Snorkel, a wearable toy that targets Gross Motor Skills 

Gross motor skills are the skills that involve body movements using large muscle groups including arms, legs, feet, etc. The Snorkel activity in this ocean toy lets your child imitate swimming movements targeting his core muscles developing his motor skills. With this being a wearable toy, there is no chance that your child will want to miss out on the fun.

Activity #2 | Fishy Friends, an art & craft activity for Memory & Intelligence

Memory plays the most crucial role in boosting or shaping your child’s cognitive capabilities.

Activity #3 | Swimming Fish, an action toy for Fine Motor Skills

The third activity covers your little one’s fine motor skills! Fine motor skills are the skills that target small muscles, including the ones in and around their hands and wrists, making movements easier and stronger. The Swimming fish activity targets the small muscle group as they make movements that get the fish swimming. They will not only refine their motor skills by making them move their fingers and wrists but also understand the mechanism of swimming up-close!

The fourth activity builds their memory and makes them question their learning in order to figure out the correct answers.
