Preschool STEM: Build a Fort
ENGINEERING is this week’s focus for Preschool STEM, with a great family fun activity: fort building!
Fort Building: Activity & Conversation Starters
Engineering is all about finding out how things are built and why. Sometimes trial and error is the best way to see what works and what doesn’t!
1. Find materials to build a fort. You could try bed sheets, blankets, furniture, a tarp, or a clothesline.
2. What did you find? Are you going to build a fort inside or outside?!
3. What could be used to secure the different parts of the fort so they stay standing? I can think of clothespins, string, chip clips, rubber bands.
4. What else? Does your fort require a secret password to enter?
