Penny and Trucks STEM Activity

Sharing is caring!

Does your Preschooler love trucks and stacking things?  Then they should try this Penny and Trucks STEM activity!

This penny and trucks STEM activity was just kind of stumbled upon by my twins.  I gave them a bunch of coins to play with (and supervised them very closely) and they just started stacking and balancing them.

We added trucks into the mix and it was a hit!  It’s now a regular go-to activity for my toddlers.

With this activity, your child will be learning so much, while having fun playing in this easy educational activity! 

This penny and trucks activity takes a minute to set up – and you probably already have the supplies!

There is so much going on learning-wise with this Penny and Trucks STEM activity.

Your child will be learning:

• Balance
• Fine Motor Skills
• Weight
• Gravity
• Trial and Error
• Problem Solving
• Critical Thinking

Supplies Needed:

• Coins – We used pennies only but you could do a mixture of different coins
• Small Trucks (affiliate link)

Since my boys love cars and coins – this was the perfect activity.

They were so creative and used their imagination!

Make sure to supervise your child closely with this activity in case they try to put the coins in their mouth.

If your child is still putting a lot of things in their mouths, I would wait until they are a little older to try this activity with them.  My twins are 2 1/2.

My twins know that the rule for playing with coins is that they don’t go in their mouth!  And I watch them very closely and sit with them when the coins are out.

Will you try this Penny and Trucks STEM activity with your child?

Remember to supervise your child very closely with this activity – since coins could pose a choking hazard.
