Early Cyber Monday STEM deals: STEM toys at Amazon

Black Friday may be “officially” over, but there are still plenty of sticks to pick up before it’s gone. Amazon, in particular, has a wealth of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) toys for sale that are perfect for kids, teens, and even adults who like to dive in and experiment.
Sure, you can just put the latest video game in your cart and call it a day, but where’s the fun in that? With a STEM toy, you can encourage problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and a genuine love of learning. (Also, your present will probably want to build or create anything quickly, so you can remember it.)
From solar robots to one-of-a-kind grow kits, here are the best STEM toy deals you can find on Amazon right now.
A very good deal overall
Why we love you
The National Geographic Ultimate Crystal Garden is a great example of a STEM toy that provides hours of educational fun. (As soon as I saw this, I added it to my niece’s cart.) With this NatGeo kit, your little ones can plant a crystal garden in six hours. It comes with everything you need to get started, including five watercolor pens so they can choose the colors for their crystals.
And the best part? You will be giving a gift of magic for as little as $13.49.
