STEAM Challenge: Create a chair to support a small stuffed animal.

STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) exploration boosts the development of critical thinking skills, problem solving skills, hands-on learning, and creative thinking.

Art Materials: Choose 3 of the following materials you may have around the house: paper, cardboard, cereal box, paper plate, paper tubes, or straws

Additional Art Materials: scissors and tape

Warm Up: Review different types of chairs such as a desk chair, folding chair, rocking chair, recliner, stool, lawn chair, wheel chair, high chair, throne, and sofa. Do you have any of those types of chairs in your house?

Identify different parts of a chair such as the back, arms, legs, and seat. 

Step 1: Begin to build your chair. Make sure to create the seat, arms, and back of your chair. Remember each chair will be one of a kind! 

                   

Step 2: Check if the chair can support the weight of your stuffed animal. Is it okay if the chair collapses under the weight of the stuffed animal? Yes! We can learn from our mistakes and try again!
