28 Best STEM Toys for Kids (2026): Learning Made Fun

2026年最适合孩子的28款STEM玩具：让学习充满乐趣

Anyone who has ever watched a toddler methodically take apart a Tupperware drawer knows that many children are natural-born engineers. Your job as a parent is to nurture their creativity … and clean up the mess afterward. I’ve tested tons of STEM toys with my kids over the years, some with help from other parents on the WIRED Reviews team and some with help from my wife, who is a teacher and can road-test them in the classroom. 任何看过幼儿有条不紊地拆开塑料储物盒的人都知道，许多孩子天生就是工程师。作为父母，你的工作是培养他们的创造力……并在事后清理残局。多年来，我和孩子们一起测试了大量的STEM玩具，其中一些得到了WIRED评测团队其他家长的帮助，另一些则得到了我妻子的帮助，她是一名教师，可以在课堂上对这些玩具进行实地测试。

Wrap up a few of these STEM toys (also called STEAM toys; we love you too, arts!) for your future scientist to assemble, squish, or dismantle. Hopefully, they’ll thank you for the early encouragement when they’re older. Be sure to check out our assortment of other buying guides, including the Best Subscription Boxes for Kids, Best Speakers for Kids, and How to Build the Lego Collection of Your Dreams. 为你未来的科学家挑选几款STEM玩具（也称为STEAM玩具；艺术类我们同样热爱！）让他们去组装、挤压或拆解吧。希望当他们长大后，会感谢你早期的鼓励。请务必查看我们其他的购物指南，包括“最适合孩子的订阅盒”、“最适合孩子的音箱”以及“如何打造你梦想中的乐高收藏”。

Creative Kit: Plus Plus Mini Interlocking Building Blocks Set

创意套件：Plus Plus迷你互锁积木套装

There’s something super-satisfying about these tactile building blocks. They come in a range of appealing colors and have a slightly squishy form that makes them delightful to build with and pull apart. Because the pieces are all the same, children don’t have to spend ages searching for a specific block as they do with Lego. They can pick by color or just experiment, and it’s as easy to create bracelets and headbands as it is to construct robots and bridges. 这些触感极佳的积木有一种超级令人满足的特质。它们有多种诱人的颜色，质地略带弹性，这使得拼搭和拆卸的过程非常愉悦。由于所有积木块形状相同，孩子们不必像玩乐高那样花很长时间去寻找特定的零件。他们可以按颜色挑选或随意尝试，无论是制作手链和发带，还是搭建机器人和桥梁，都非常简单。

These building blocks were very popular in the classroom with 7- and 8-year-olds. Some kids had fun just playing without something specific in mind, while others planned scenes and put their engineering skills to use to realize them. There are also some instruction booklets with suggestions. For kids aged 5 years and up. 这些积木在7到8岁的课堂上非常受欢迎。有些孩子只是随心所欲地玩耍，而另一些孩子则会规划场景，并运用他们的工程技能将其实现。套装中还附带了一些提供建议的说明手册。适合5岁及以上的儿童。

Sound Stage: Qubs Qubitunes

声音舞台：Qubs Qubitunes

We’re in love with this screen-free play stage and speaker for kids. The cute wooden design includes a slot to insert a cartridge and a circular sound stage divided into four sections where you can pop characters on top to change the audio it plays. This basic functionality allows for a clever variety of add-on packs, from stories about quirky characters in the Groblies ($20) to a cooking game called Bernard’s Kitchen ($20) with different ingredients. My favorite is the Little Maestro set ($20) featuring players in an orchestra covering Mozart, Vivaldi, Beethoven, and Bach. The stereo speakers are quite good, it has a headphone port, and the Qubitunes can be recharged via USB-C for up to six hours of play. My wife has this in the reward area of her classroom, and it’s the most popular option with 7- and 8-year-olds. For kids aged 3 years and up. 我们非常喜欢这款适合儿童的无屏幕播放舞台和音箱。可爱的木质设计包括一个插入卡带的插槽，以及一个分为四个部分的圆形声音舞台，你可以将角色放在上面来改变播放的音频。这种基本功能衍生出了各种巧妙的扩展包，从讲述Groblies（20美元）中奇特角色的故事，到名为Bernard’s Kitchen（20美元）的包含不同食材的烹饪游戏。我最喜欢的是“小指挥家”套装（20美元），里面有管弦乐队演奏莫扎特、维瓦尔第、贝多芬和巴赫的作品。立体声扬声器效果相当不错，配有耳机接口，Qubitunes可以通过USB-C充电，续航长达六小时。我妻子把它放在教室的奖励区，它是7到8岁孩子中最受欢迎的选择。适合3岁及以上的儿童。

Wind-Up Flashlight: Ambessa DIY Kinetic Flashlight

手摇手电筒：Ambessa DIY动能手电筒

Kids can build this wind-up flashlight themselves and learn all about electronic components and kinetic energy in the process. The thoughtful design includes 10 separate parts, and there are 16 steps to follow to assemble it. No batteries are required, and the kit is designed to be easy to disassemble and use again, making it perfect for a classroom setting. Our testers were delighted that simply winding the completed flashlight brought it to life (three minutes of winding provides 30 minutes of light). For every kit purchased, the maker, Ambessa, donates one to a refugee child out of school. For kids aged 8 years and up. 孩子们可以亲手组装这款手摇手电筒，并在过程中学习电子元件和动能的相关知识。其巧妙的设计包含10个独立部件，组装过程需遵循16个步骤。无需电池，且该套件设计易于拆卸和重复使用，非常适合课堂教学。我们的测试人员很高兴地发现，只需摇动组装好的手电筒就能让它发光（摇动三分钟可提供30分钟的照明）。每售出一套，制造商Ambessa就会向一名失学难民儿童捐赠一套。适合8岁及以上的儿童。

Knight School: Particula GoChess Mini

骑士学校：Particula GoChess Mini

I have been struggling for a few years to get my now 7- and 9-year-old interested in chess, and the GoChess Mini works wonderfully. This lightweight, portable board is beautiful to use—the pieces have a nice matte finish and are pleasingly weighty. Once you charge the Bluetooth-enabled board and connect it to the app, you can either play against remote players, against yourself, or get AI-enabled assistance to help guide your moves. You can scale the amount of assistance, whether it’s a little or a lot, and different-colored lights show you the advisability of different moves as you pick up each piece. One evening of charging results in weeks of playtime; my kids will play for hours and discuss each move as they go. It’s great.—Adrienne So. For kids aged 6 years and up. 几年来，我一直努力让现在7岁和9岁的孩子对国际象棋产生兴趣，而GoChess Mini的效果非常棒。这款轻便、便携的棋盘使用起来非常美观——棋子有漂亮的哑光质感，且重量适中，手感很好。一旦你为支持蓝牙的棋盘充电并连接到应用程序，你就可以与远程玩家对弈、进行自我对弈，或者获得AI辅助来指导你的走法。你可以调整辅助程度，无论是少量还是大量，当你拿起棋子时，不同颜色的灯光会显示出不同走法的建议。充一次电可以使用数周；我的孩子们会玩上几个小时，并边走边讨论每一步。这太棒了。——Adrienne So。适合6岁及以上的儿童。
