Children’s Museum of Phoenix: STEM-sational Sensory KIDchen

Step into the KIDchen for a hands-on sensory adventure where touch takes center stage!

Children will explore textures like silky oats, bumpy pasta, and squishy oobleck—materials you can easily find in your own kitchen to recreate the fun at home. This tactile play invites little learners to compare, classify, and investigate, building STEM skills like observation, prediction, and problem-solving. By feeling, squishing, and sifting, kids will discover the science hiding in everyday textures and deepen their curiosity through playful exploration.
