Hey friends! This is my FIFTH year doing a list of Great STEM Christmas Toys for Kids! Can you believe it? In case you missed them, here's the previous years' lists! Be aware I use Amazon referral links so I get a little kickback (and you support this blog!) when you use these links. I'll be using the pocket money to...wait for it...buy STEM toys for kids! So thanks in advance!

OK, let's do it!

好的，让我们一起做！

littleBits (littleBits)

I've always liked littleBits but when they first came out I thought they were expensive and didn't include enough stuff. Fast forward and littleBits have dropped in price and built a whole ecosystem of littleBits that work together. This year the most fun is the littleBits Marvel Avengers Inventor Kit. At the time of this writing, this kit is 33% off at Amazon. You can built your own Iron Man (or Ironheart!) gauntlet and load it up with littleBits that can do whatever you'd like. One particularly cool thing included is an LED Matrix that you can address directly by writing code with the iOS or Android app.

我一直很喜欢littleBits，但是当它们第一次问世时，我认为它们很昂贵并且没有足够的东西。 快进和littleBits价格下降，并建立了一个可以协同工作的littlebits整个生态系统。 今年最有趣的是littleBits Marvel Avengers Inventor Kit 。 在撰写本文时，该工具包已在Amazon降价33％。 您可以构建自己的Iron Man(或Ironheart ！)手套，并用littleBits加载它，以完成您想要的任何事情。 其中包括一个特别酷的东西是一个LED矩阵，您可以通过使用iOS或Android应用程序编写代码来直接寻址。

卡诺-电脑套件和魔杖 (Kano - Computer Kit and Wand)

Both my kids love the Kano Computer Kit, now updated for 2018. It's a complete Raspberry Pi 3 kit that includes the keyboard, mouse, case, LED lights, and everything you'd need to build a Pi. This year they've branched out to the Kano Happy Potter Coding Kit that you can use to build a wand and learn to code. The "wand" is a custom PCB with codeable LEDs, buttons, and batteries that the kids put inside a wand. The wand is Bluetooth and includes lots of tech like an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and a vibrating rumble pack. All of this tech is controllable with laptops or smart devices and code with JavaScript.

我的两个孩子都喜欢Kano电脑套件，该套件现已于2018年更新。 它是一个完整的Raspberry Pi 3套件，包括键盘，鼠标，外壳，LED灯以及构建Pi所需的一切。 今年，他们扩展到了Kano Happy Potter编码套件，您可以用它来构建魔杖并学习编码。 “ wand”是一种定制PCB，带有可编码的LED，按钮和电池，孩子们可以将它们放在魔杖中。 魔杖是蓝牙，包括许多技术，例如加速度计，陀螺仪，磁力计和振动的隆隆声包。 所有这些技术都可以通过笔记本电脑或智能设备进行控制，并可以使用JavaScript进行编码。

UbTech JIMU机器人-Unicornbot套件 (UbTech JIMU Robot - Unicornbot Kit)

UbTech has a whole series of Technics-style Robot kits. There's the usual tanks and cars, but there's also some more creative and "out there" ones like this 400-piece Unicorn Robot. It includes color sensors, server motors, a DC motor, and a light up horn. It's also codeable/controllable via an iOS or Android app. Very cool!

UbTech具有完整系列的Technics风格的机器人套件。 有平常的油箱和汽车，但也有一些更具创意和“实用性”的油箱和汽车，例如这款400片的独角兽机器人。 它包括颜色传感器，服务器电动​​机，直流电动机和发光喇叭。 也可以通过iOS或Android应用进行编码/控制。 很酷！

I'd really like their Lynx Alexa controllable walking robot but it's way out of my price range. Still fun to check out though!

我真的很喜欢他们的Lynx Alexa可控步行机器人，但它超出了我的价格范围。 还是很有趣的签出！

Meccano Kits的Erector (Erector by Meccano Kits)

We've found these Erector by Meccano Kits to be inexpensive and well-built. The 25-in-1 kit is great and includes a container and over 600 pieces. I like these metal kits because they feel like the ones I had in my childhood. Kids learn how to use motors, pulleys, and other explore functional motion.

我们发现这些Meector套件的Erector价格便宜且结构精良。 25合1套件非常棒，包括一个容器和600多个部件。 我喜欢这些金属套件，因为它们就像我小时候的那种。 孩子们学习如何使用电动机，皮带轮和其他工具来探索功能性运动。

NatGeo的太空地图集和2019年Nat Geo年鉴 (NatGeo's Space Atlas and the 2019 Nat Geo Almanac)

Both of these great books from National Geographic are spending a lot of time in my kids' hands. The National Geographic Almanac 2019 is amazing every year. It's an annual with facts, photos, and infographics that have my kids saying "did you know?" on long car drives constantly. That's a good thing.

《国家地理》上的这两本好书都花了很多时间在我孩子的手中。 《 2019年国家地理年鉴》每年都很棒。 一年一度的事实，照片和信息图表让我的孩子说：“你知道吗？” 在长途汽车上不断行驶这是好事。

We are also enjoying the hardcover Space Atlas with maps of the whole solar system. 350+ pages of space, charts, maps, photos, it's both deep for adults and accessible for kids. I recommend both of these books and have them on my coffee table now.

我们还享受着带有整个太阳系地图的精装太空图集。 超过350页的空间，图表，地图，照片，对于成年人来说很深，对于孩子们来说则很容易使用。 我推荐这两本书，现在都放在我的咖啡桌上。

适用于iPad的Osmo Genius套件 (Osmo Genius Kit for iPad)

The Osmo Genius is quite clever and based on one deceptively simple idea - what if the iPad camera faced downward and could see the table in front of the child? It came with a base and a reflector that directs the front-facing camera downwards. Then the educational games are written to see what's happening on the table and provide near-instant feedback. You can start with the base kit and later optionally add kits and games.

Osmo Genius非常聪明，并且基于一个看似简单的想法-如果iPad摄像头朝下并且可以看到孩子面前的桌子怎么办？ 它带有一个底座和一个反射镜，可将前置摄像头向下引导。 然后编写教育游戏，看看桌上发生了什么，并提供近乎即时的反馈。 您可以从基本套件开始，以后可以选择添加套件和游戏。

Elenco 130合1电子游乐场和学习中心 (Elenco 130-in-1 Electronic Playground and Learning Center)

I like classic toys and while toys with bluetooth and fancy features are cool, I want to balance it out with the classics that let you explore the physical world. These also tend to be more affordable as well.

我喜欢经典玩具，并且具有蓝牙和精美功能的玩具很酷，但我想与经典玩具保持平衡，让您探索现实世界。 这些也往往更负担得起。

I really like this classic electronic trainer with 130 experiments like an AM broadcast station, Electronic Organ, LED strobe light, Timer, Logic Circuits and much, much more. The 50-in-One version is just $16! Frankly all the Elenco products are fantastic.

我真的很喜欢这款经典的电子教练机，它具有130个实验，例如AM广播电台，电子琴，LED频闪灯，计时器，逻辑电路等等。 50合一版本只需$ 16 ！ 坦率地说，所有Elenco产品都很棒。

Piper电脑套件(2018版) (Piper Computer Kit (2018 Edition))

I had this on the list last year but my kids still love it. We have the 2016 kit and it's been updated for 2018.

我去年在清单上有这个，但我的孩子仍然喜欢它。 我们有2016套件，并已于2018更新。

The Piper is a little spendy at first glance, but it's EXTREMELY complete and very thoughtfully created. Sure, you can just get a Raspberry Pi and hack on it - but the Piper is not just a Pi. It's a complete kit where your little one builds their own wooden "laptop" box (more of a luggable), and then starting with just a single button, builds up the computer. The Minecraft content isn't just vanilla Microsoft. It's custom episodic content! Custom voice overs, episodes, and challenges.

吹笛者乍一看有点花钱，但是它非常完整，而且经过深思熟虑地创建。 当然，您可以得到Raspberry Pi并对其进行破解-但是Piper不仅仅是Pi。 这是一个完整的工具包，您的小孩子可以构建自己的木制“笔记本”盒(更多的是可负担的)，然后只需一个按钮即可构建计算机。 Minecraft的内容不仅限于微软。 这是自定义的情节内容！ 自定义配音，情节和挑战。

What's genius about Piper, though, is how the software world interacts with the hardware. For example, at one point you're looking for treasure on a Minecraft beach. The Piper suggests you need a treasure detector, so you learn about wiring and LEDs and wire up a treasure detector LED while it's running. Then you run your Minecraft person around while the LED blinks faster to detect treasure. It's absolute genius. Definitely a favorite in our house for the 8-12 year old set.

不过，关于Piper的天才之处在于，软件世界如何与硬件交互。 例如，有时您正在寻找Minecraft海滩上的宝藏。 吹笛者建议您需要一个宝物检测器，以便您了解接线和LED指示灯，并在其运行时为宝物检测器LED接线。 然后，您的Minecraft人员会四处跑动，同时LED更快地闪烁以检测宝藏。 这是绝对的天才。 绝对是我们家中8至12岁套装的最爱。

I hope you have a great holiday season!

希望您度过一个愉快的假期！
