STEAM Connections is a video series that explores STEAM concepts in fun and simple activities.

STEAM concepts are the perfect way to introduce sensory play or play that engages the five senses (sight, smell, taste, touch and sound)! Making your own playdough or slime at home involves simple science concepts that are perfect for children of all ages and lead to engaging sensory play. The library provides access to many other sensory play activities that you can easily recreate at home.
