Learning STEAM in the Early Years
Exploration through play
We at Creative Hut think that the early years are when the building blocks for future scientists, engineers, artists, and innovators are laid. That's why we start by bringing fun, hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning experiences to life.
Encouraging kids to learn and play through play
Exploring is a magical thing to do when you're young. Our Early Years STEAM resources use this natural curiosity to help kids learn important skills like how to solve problems, be creative, work with others, and talk to people.
We work with well-known global education brands like LEGO® Education, Sphero®, Photon Robot, Makey Makey®, and Qubs to bring high-quality STEAM materials that are appropriate for kids of all ages into nurseries, pre-schools, and reception classrooms. Our materials are meant to make kids happy while also helping them learn important things that are in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework.

Why Learning STEAM in the Early Years is Important
STEAM education in the early years makes kids curious, creative, and love learning for the rest of their lives. Young kids learn important skills like problem-solving, communication, and resilience through fun, hands-on activities in science, technology, engineering, the arts, and maths. We make early STEAM learning fun and useful, laying the groundwork for confident, capable learners who are ready to explore the world around them. It has been shown to help kids:
- Learn early maths and science by solving problems and doing simple investigations in a fun way.
- Building, construction, and tactile exploration can help improve fine motor skills.
- As they work with others and explain their ideas, they will improve their language and communication skills.
- Encourage them to be confident and independent as they make things, try things out, and come up with new ideas.
- Learn how to be persistent and strong by trying things out and failing.
