Magnificent Machines

Ready to get engineering together at home?

In this special engineering-themed Little STEAMers class we'll explore engineering with simple machines. We learn about how engineers and inventors use simple machines and then we explore one of the six simple machines, the inclined plane, with simple games and activities.

There's so much fun learning for all ages and children can be occupied for hours after the class dragging their toys or racing them down slopes.

I'll give you loads of suggestions too for how to do more maths and science as children play or you can just leave them to it to explore by themselves.

What you get with this class:

  • A 30-minute class to watch together
  • Preparation details to get you set up for success
  • Exploration support with questions and ideas to support the learning yourself
  • Bonus content to extend the learning with an investigation and things to talk about together
  • Short dip-in videos for each activity in the class
  • Access for one whole month from the date of purchase to try as many times as you like

About Little STEAMers

  • PLAY-BASED: Young children are naturally inquisitive and learn about their surroundings through play. The activities are designed so children learn through playing and exploring. I just give them the ideas and inspiration.
  • EXPERT-DESIGNED: Classes are designed alongside other early years specialists to be developmentally appropriate and research backed.
  • VARIED: Class topics cover a range of concepts from science, technology, engineering, arts and maths (STEAM) using story-telling, singing, movement and demonstrations.
  • HOME-BASED: Classes and activities are specially created to be joined online from a familiar home environment where children can play and learn more confidently.
  • FLEXIBLE: You can access the classes and other content on your schedule and enjoy quality time playing together at home for as long as your child is engaged in the activities or even in the following days and weeks. 
  • FOR GROWN UPS TOO: You get ideas and inspiration to encourage you child's curiosity even after the class has finished.
