Crafts are always on our minds over here but when the craft can also offer a way for kids to learn something new, that makes them even better. Using things you already have at home, this Simple At-Home STEM: A DIY Density Tower That Will Amaze & Teach Kids the scientific concept of density in a visually captivating way. This is perfect for homeschooling families or just a fun experiment to try on the weekends.
