DIY STEM-Focused Projects Sponsored by the Makers of ZIPLOC Brand

Thanks to the makers of Ziploc brand for sponsoring this post.

xIf you are a mom then you already know the importance of having a healthy supply of ZIPLOC brand bags in the house. I have been relying on ZIPLOC Brand products for organization and sanity since the moment I had children and that have never played such an important role in our day-to-day as they do now that my girls are in school. Now that the girls are back in school our mornings consist of trying to stay organized and our afternoons consist of trying to find fun activities to do that don’t absolutely exhaust them. We try to keep our girls on a pretty consistent schedule in the afternoons and will typically play outside for a bit and then color or do a fun project to decompress from the day and wind down for bedtime. Not only do ZIPLOC brand products help me with the back to school snack game but their new STEM collaboration with KiwiCo has been such a fun activity to build creative confidence and give their little minds something fun (and educational) to do in the afternoons. I’m excited to be able to share with you that ZIPLOC brand is running a great promotion which gives you daily chances to win a year’s supply of KiwiCo subscription crates PLUS get instant access to DIY STEM projects. Sound amazing? Keep reading for details!

Why STEM?

As the girls get back into the swing of things at school, I want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to build their confidence both in and out of the classroom. And honestly, STEM projects help my girls learn in ways that even I cannot! STEM projects incorporate the different disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math in a way that really connects with my kids. I love the way STEM projects give my girls a fun outlet to put their energy into, while still challenging them to use their creativity to problem solve. As a mom, there is no better feeling than knowing my children’s minds are being shaped and molded in ways that will better them for the long term!

In my experience, these types of confidence building activities have lasting impact. Once a child learns that they can follow instructions, complete projects, and build incredible things on their own (or with the help of an older sibling or parent), they build an independence that carries over into other areas of life. I, for one, want to empower my girls to make decisions, socialize with friends, solve problems, think on the go, and persevere through adversity and struggle. To me, the confidence that STEM builds give a kid is invaluable, because they are developing their minds and growing aspects of their character that will serve them far beyond a DIY project. It’s crazy how BIG life lessons can be learned in something as simple as an after school activity! It’s one reason I’m so excited to share this initiative by the makers of ZIPLOC brand.

How We Use ZIPLOC? Brand Bags

I have an entire drawer in our kitchen dedicated to various sizes of ZIPLOC brand bags. I use the snack and sandwich sized bags to store snacks for car rides, camp, and pool days. The gallon bags are great for storing documents and paperwork for school and camps. One of my all-time favorite hacks for ZIPLOC brand bags are to use them for outfit planning when you are leaving kids with grandparents, a sitter, or even dad. I plan out what the girls will wear each day and put everything they need into a one quart ZIPLOC brand bag. Then all Dad or grandma has to do each morning is grab a bag and get the kids dressed! I’m a full supporter of ZIPLOC brand products and love that they have created yet another way to make my life easier with their STEM DIY projects using ZIPLOC brand bags!
