Findings from the “STEM Education Toys Report” show that playing with STEM toys boosts spatial skills and bridges the gender gap in tech motivation
United States, 3rd Nov 2026 —Science4you, a leading educational toy brand specializing in hands-on STEM/STEAM toys for children, today announced the publication of its comprehensive STEM Education Toys Report. The report’s findings include insights that playing with STEM learning toys positively affects kids’ cognitive development, hands-on learning, and the gender gap in tech. According to the report, Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) toys also help boost spatial skills and academic performance, potentially increasing future earning potential.
“Our approach is to make preparing today’s technology-driven world fun for kids,” explained Filipe Ramos, CEO of Science4you. “So, we are very gratified to see our strategy validated in the report’s data. STEM and STEAM toys are good for cognitive skills, but the report goes even further, showing that STEM enhances visual-spatial development, fosters social responsibility, and builds non-cognitive skills like persistence, resilience, and organization.” STEAM toys include arts principles in their design.
The report’s findings include:
- STEM toys play a key role in cognitive development, boosting computational thinking (+39%), flexibility (+26%), memory (+19%), and inhibition (+11%).
- STEM play reduces the gender gap in technology motivation. Girls’ interest in programming jumps 29% after just 20 minutes of play.
- Parents confirm academic benefits, with 51.7% reporting meaningful improvements and 33% reporting major boosts in school performance.
- Children who play with STEM toys are more likely to earn 116% higher income in future STEM occupations.
The company also announced the launch of STEAM Individual Kits Showcase, which is on sale for the holiday season. This lineup of interactive, hands-on STEAM kits is designed for young scientists and creators. Highlights include the Mystery Potions Kit, Perfumes Super Lab, Giant Robot Hand, Marker Factory, Gummy Sweets Lab, Egyptian Artefacts Dig Kit, Betabot Robot Building Kit, Chocolate Factory, Bath Bombs Making Kit, and Dinosaur Torch.
