Do a google search on “companies technical projects for kids” and you will find a bunch of stuff (no idea of the quality).  Here are some which pop out (below)

Hi John,

I second. 

It's a wonderful subscription for young kids! My 7 year old granddaughter loves the Kiwico subscription.

I believe a MIT woman engineer started this online business that inspires young kids to explore STEM and to experience hands-on science projects.

We subscribe to Ivy-kids kit and The little Passport (learn about countries around the world) for our 5 year old granddaughter. Boy, she loves both!

She won't talk much of anything else but the projects she works on when we are on the Zoom with her.

For those who have younger kids or grandkids and looking for age appropriate learning projects or STEM hands-on projects, these are good choices.

Last week or so I mentioned a company called Kiwico from whom I purchase science kits for my very bright 10 year old grandson.  I’ve been doing it for 2 years and he loves them.  They are designed for different age groups and for different interests.  In Cam’s case he gets a kit every two months and rushes to build whatever the project is.  At this time he doesn’t even wait for parental assistance.  I think we will soon more up to the next level of difficulty.

Thought that some of you might find this to be an interesting present for the holidays.  Just a picture below, no hotlinks
