Early Learning Take and Makes
Take and Makes are easy-to-use STEAM activities that families can do together. STEAM activities incorporate science, technology, engineering, arts, and/or math. Take and Make activities connect early learning to South Dakota State Standards for Kindergarten, and they include a family engagement component. They are made with readily-available, household items and are packaged for families to take home and do together. Here are some other ways you can use these activities:
- Put together Take and Make kits for prizes at area festivals
- Choose one of the Take and Makes and use it at your booth to attract families and share kindergarten readiness skills
- Have the activity on display for families to interact with and send home the assembled activity with your organization’s information
- Challenge families to go classroom-to-classroom to collect Take and Makes and explore the school
