Category: Engineering

3 years & up. This 90-piece set includes a variety of items to create working waterways. Children can experiment with the effects that construction, gravity, and distance have on water pressure and flow as they create endless waterway configurations. Materials are transparent to allow for easy viewing of water flow.



The Build a Waterway STEM Kit builds on children's natural curiosity by providing the materials and freedom to explore. The funnels, measuring pitchers, connector tubes, blockers, and water wheel provide endless opportunities for child-guided learning. Children should be encouraged to build, create, and invent on their own. Experimentation and use of the included materials can be encouraged at the water table, in small groups, and for independent learning. Activity card(s) included.



Set includes:
  • 70 Connecting Tubes
  • 2 Funnels
  • 2 Measuring Pitchers
  • 10 Blockers
  • 2 Water Wheels
  • 4 Bases

Hannah O. ★★★★★

We've had this kit for a week and my 5-year-old is already fascinated by how adjusting the slope changes the water flow. The 90 pieces give him enough to build a really complex system on his own.

William V. ★★★★★

My 4-year-old kept rebuilding the ramps to see if the water would go faster, and the 90 pieces gave us hours of trial and error. The gravity experiments were simple enough for her to understand on her own, which made it feel less like a toy and more like her first real engineering project.

George H. ★★★★★

My 6-year-old spent an entire rainy afternoon rebuilding the waterway over and over, and I loved watching him learn how the slope of each piece changed the flow. The 90 pieces give you plenty of room to experiment, and the water pressure effect was a huge hit with both my kids.
