FOR CURIOUS MINDS

What Are Science Toys for Kids?

Science toys are educational resources that encourage children to investigate scientific ideas through observation, experimentation, models, puzzles and hands-on activities. They can help make concepts such as gravity, electricity, anatomy or astronomy easier to explore.

LEARN BY DISCOVERING

Science Begins with Questions

Why does something move? What happens when light hits a mirror? What can we see under a microscope? Science encourages children to ask questions, gather information and use evidence to understand what they observe.

THINK LIKE A SCIENTIST

Ask. Observe. Test. Discover.

❓

Ask Start with a question about what is happening.

👀

Observe Look carefully and notice important details.

🧪

Test Try an idea and see what happens.

💡

Discover Use the results to build understanding.

DISCOVER THE MICRO-WORLD

Science Gets Very Interesting Under a Microscope

A microscope allows children to examine specimens at magnification and discover details in everyday materials that are normally difficult to see.

SPACE & ASTRONOMY

Explore Beyond Planet Earth

Astronomy resources can introduce children to planets, stars, constellations and our place within the solar system.

ASTRONOMY • AGES 8+

🌌 Motorised Planetarium Star Globe Explore the night sky and inspire an interest in stars and astronomy.

SOLAR SYSTEM LEARNING

🪐 Solar System Practise Mat A reusable learning resource for exploring the solar system.

PHYSICS THROUGH PLAY

Light, Electricity, Gravity & Mechanisms

Physics explores matter, energy, forces and how things move or interact. Hands-on games can make these ideas visible through real-world challenges.

LIGHT & OPTICS

💡 Laser Maze by ThinkFun Use mirrors and strategic thinking to direct a laser through a series of challenges.

ELECTRICITY & CIRCUITS

⚡ Circuit Maze by ThinkFun Arrange components to build real circuits that light the beacons.

GRAVITY & MOTION

🔵 Gravity Maze by ThinkFun Construct a pathway that uses gravity to carry the marble to its target.

PHYSICS & MECHANISMS

⚙️ Art Gears – Innovation Academy Explore gears, mechanics, patterns, symmetry and ratios through a working drawing machine.

BIOLOGY & ANATOMY

Discover the Human Body

Human-body models and anatomy resources give children a visual way to explore bones, body structures and how the different parts of the human body fit together.

🦴

Skeleton Models Explore the structure and arrangement of bones within the human body.

🫀

Anatomy Learning Learn about body parts and anatomy through visual educational resources.

SCIENCE YOU CAN SEE & TOUCH

Make Scientific Ideas Less Abstract

Reading about gravity is one thing. Watching a marble move through a gravity-powered maze is another.

Hands-on resources give children opportunities to connect scientific ideas with things they can observe and manipulate themselves.
