OK, well my friends a lot of kids,
a lot of children make it onto
our holiday lists where we
have to go shopping for them,
but with their wishlist it's usually
a toy and that's not always great.
'cause we want something that
actually teaches our kids as well.
So recently I got to check out some
of the most popular toys that are
considered stealthy STEM Toy Insider
Marissa Silva brought the fun. You
have picked some what you call stealthy
stem toys, right? Have you chosen,
yeah? So these toys teach kids.
Those important STEM concepts,
but they won't even realize that
they're learning 'cause they're going
to be having so much fun playing.
I love it, that's stealthy stem, right?
Exactly healthy education that's
so right here. We've got six toys.
And let's start with the first one ABC mouse,
because we've used this in our house.
Yeah, so this is a little bit
different from a traditional toy.
This is actually a digital learning
platform so kids can access ABC
mouse anywhere from the computer.
The smartphone,
if you're on the go or even a tablet,
and there are over 11,000 games
built in and every single one
has an educational component.
So kids are going to learn the basics
of literacy, math, you name it.
Everything is included in
the monthly subscription,
so it's a great gift.
You can even buy an annual subscription.
And what I love most is.
No shipping delays right.
It's instant
present that you get right away.
It's really great and easy
for parents to navigate to,
which is a huge yeah huge plus for me.
Onosma toy and it's really unique.
Yes, I love this.
This is the Osmo little Genius Starter
kit and this is really bridging
that gap from physical to digital
play so kids can add in an iPad right?
And then once you connect the
iPad you've got like this little
learning platform on the table and
anything kids do on the table.
The app is going to recognize
and bring it to life.
So in this set we've got these
cool little squiggly pieces that
kids can use to make letters.
The Games will challenge them
to spell out different words.
Using these pieces,
there's a really cute costume party game.
You name it.
There's over a dozen games included and
the play possibilities are pretty endless.
That is pretty cool and I love that you can.
You know mix the digital and the reality,
which is, yeah, reality.
Now this one is magformers and
props to our producers Susie,
who put together this Ferris wheel
that looks like so much fun,
right? Yeah, so magformers are
incredible magnetic building pieces,
so perfect for little bud.
Budding engineers,
but with the carnival set,
which is what we've got today.
You can build up your
favorite carnival games.
We've got the Ferris wheel.
You can make a carousel pretty
much anything kids can imagine,
and I love that the pieces are really
easy to assemble and to take apart,
so everything is done by magnets.
The magnets are all safely
encased inside the plastic,
so nothing for parents to worry about.
And I also am in love with the cute
little figures that come with it
so you can get your little buddies
to ride their carnival rides.
This is so fun.
I'm so excited to try this.
The next one I have a feeling that
a lot of parents are gonna try to
try to steal 'cause this is really cool.
Three doodle or star plus.
How amazing is this?
The start Plus Essentials Pen set comes
with everything kids need to draw in 3D.
And you're absolutely right,
parents are definitely going
to be stealing this and seeing
what they can create themselves,
but you'll see that you put in this
eco friendly filament in the back
and it kind of melts within the
pen and then you can draw in 3D.
So I've made you this little robot guy here.
You made that.
Yeah, I'm very talented.
You're very
talented or is that we made
this this guy? It's like
a it's a little stick figure it's
it's not love it, love it yeah
so inside this set two comes with like
a little idea booklet so it'll help
kids come up with things to make it
they need like a little more inspiration
I love it it's like a glue stick in
a 3D printer all-in-one. Shame yes
so this next project
and toy I love because my daughter is kind
of obsessed with video games right now,
but she doesn't quite understand the
whole world of programming yet. She's not
there. But yeah, it seems like a
good like introduction. Absolutely
pick CK. That's one of my favorite items
of the year because it's under $20,
nineteen, 99 for a really cool tech toy.
And you're right,
you're making your own video games,
so it comes with these little
booklets kids can draw in unique
elements to create their own video
games and then scan them in with
the app and watch them come to
life and they can actually play
their own games that they've made.
OK, that is absolutely genius.
The last one, though I feel like it's
the coup de grace of all the toys.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm obsessed with this.
It's the candy claw machine from
themes in Cosmos and this is really
fun because you're building your
own like arcade style claw machine.
You can put whatever you want inside,
including candy, of course.
The whole family can get
in on the fun together,
so this is something that really everyone
can get in on building and experiencing.
Plus you're learning some of those
early engineering concepts and it's
a lot of trial and error, right?
Like figure out how to get it to work.
Follow that instruction manual.
There are so many skills to be
had there and then you end up
with this working claw machine.
It's so cool
that claw machine is on my list.
