Which of these toys actually teach STEM versus just being marketed as STEM?
Reviewer consensus
ThinkFun Gravity Maze (logic and spatial reasoning) and Brain Flakes (open-ended construction) get the most credit from reviewers for genuine cognitive load. Marble runs teach cause-and-effect and basic physics through play. Toys that rely on app companions or scripted prompts tend to get more skeptical reviews from parents looking for durable learning.
