Grades K-2 STEAM Projects

Creative Dad publishes hands-on STEAM projects for grades K-2. Homeschool families and afterschool programs can browse every published project in this grade here.

Each project page shows the grade band, how long the activity takes, the materials, the steps, and the standards the project is mapped to. A mapped standard is a planning reference. It is not a claim that the project meets the standard.

Printable facilitator packs are part of a Creative Dad membership. Browsing this list and the project pages does not require a membership.
