A “Smart Gift” is a feel-good gift for both the gift giver and gift receiver, but it’s also a take on the S.T.E.A.M. term used to describe the products from Griddly Games.
S.M.Art (Science Math and Art) are just a portion of the positive experiences, fond memories, opportunities to learn, and fun from Smart Gifts.
The SMArt gifts from Griddly Games include its families of Just Add branded STEAM kits and its STEM board games. This year, maybe more than ever, we wanted to point out the wholesome home-based fun of our products, the replay value, and the forum for quality time experiences, as well as the underlying educational elements.
Griddly’s line-up of seven different STEAM kits is led by the explosively fun, new Just Add Baking Soda. This kit has more than 20 different science experiments that burst into super cool crafts. including making Bath Bombs, Ornaments, a Baking Soda Volcano and so much more! The transformative kit allows the discovery of chemical reactions, states of matter, and alkalines.
Also new this year is the Just Add Fruits & Veggies. Old fruit or vegetables get recycled into experiments and crafts when you can “produce” a crop of crafts. This new kit offers 20 fun science and art activities while learning chemical reactions, osmosis, germination and study of electricity!
