Fun, Hands-On STEAM Enrichment in Chicago
Giant blocks, guided instruction and creative play
For Chicago area preschools, kindergartens, day cares, libraries, and any place with children ages 1-8
Children have a blast playing creatively and cooperatively with hundreds of gigantic blocks.
It’s phenomenally fun, and extraordinarily enriching.
Our friendly team brings and sets up our special enormous, lightweight 10 by 10 by 10 inch blocks for structured hands-on play.
Students develop problem solving, pattern recognition and math skills while playing creatively and cooperatively with the blocks.
Plus you’ll get great photos to send in your parent newsletter. (Parents love our visits to your facility too!) And don’t forget to capture our signature Block-Buster with your group coming through a wall of blocks, filmed in slow motion!

FAQ
-
STEAM Stackers is built with young children in mind—toddlers, pre-schoolers, kindergarteners, and first and second graders.
-
We have packages for groups of all sizes. Our basic packages are for up to 30 children at a time, and we also offer Big Group packages for up to 60. If your needs differ, please reach out and we'll put together a STEAM Stackers experience that fits your group.
-
We need an indoor space as clear of distractions (usually this means toys and games) as possible. A gym works great; a multipurpose or meeting room works great; a classroom works great when we have help from your staff to keep the children away from distractions.
-
We recommend 60 minutes per group, but can accommodate times as short as 30 minutes per group.
-
Our Activity Leaders are AWESOME! They love leading creative play for kids—they include children's improv teachers, science demonstrators and more. They're friendly and eager to work with you to create an unforgettably fun experience for your children.
