PEEP Racing: A STEAM Activity for Preschoolers

Are you a fan of PEEPs?

Personally, I don’t love the taste of them but they are fun to use for some hands-on engineering activities for kids!

For this STEAM activity, we are racing our PEEPS in our own engineered and designed race car.

STEAM represents the combination of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. STEAM activities for preschoolers help young learners, investigate questions and think like a problem solver.

STEAM Challenge: Can you build a car for a Peep? How far can it travel?

Materials: 

• LEGO Bricks and Wheels
• Peep
• Measuring Tape
• Ramp

Teaching Strategy:

Ask, “how can you make a vehicle that can hold a Peep using LEGO bricks?”

Build a ramp for your Peep mobile.

Test your ramp.

Measure and mark how far your Peep traveled.

Challenge your friends to a Peep race.
