My kids and I have loved doing different Fairy Tale STEM projects over the years. Today I have a Three Little Pigs STEM project. I've had this idea in my head for a long time and am excited to finally do it! We had such a blast with this engineering activity.

I made a little set of Three Little Pigs printable figures that you can use to add a little extra fun and imagination into this activity. My youngest loved this. She played with her houses for a long time re-enacting the story with her little pigs and the wolf.

How to Do the Three Little Pigs STEM Project

For our STEM project, we wanted to try building all three types of the Three Little Pigs' houses. Their goal was to make the house that can stand up best to mom's "wolf blowing". But you could also pull out a hair dryer for blowing.

Supplies needed for this project:

We used straws, popsicle sticks, wooden blocks, string, masking tape, and rubber bands.
STRAW HOUSES:
For the first part of our Three Little Pigs STEM project, we made the straw houses. We made straw houses out of plastic straws. You could do this with paper or plastic straws~ whichever you prefer. I started by just giving them string and rubber bands and straws. My son had no trouble with this, but my girls begged for tape, so we added that into the supplies. 🙂 I love how they each came up with their own unique designs.
STICK HOUSES:
Next, we made our stick houses. These we did out of popsicle sticks and masking tape. IF you want to make it harder on them, make them collect sticks and tie them together with twine.

I let them take the easier route. I really didn't help any of them except my 6-year-old needed a little encouragement from time to time. But she really did most of these herself.
BRICK HOUSES:
We did our brick houses out of wooden blocks. Another fun option would be LEGO Bricks. This was the quickest and the easiest house to build. We thought that was funny because in the story of the Three Little Pigs, it's the opposite.

The Results of Our Three Little Pigs STEM Project:

I was so impressed with all of the kids' creations. They worked so hard and were so proud of their designs.

The straw houses were the easiest to blow. The stick houses were second. Some of them did not even move! The bricks houses were not moveable, just like the story. However, the length of time building them was the opposite. It took my kids a lot longer to build the straw houses than any of the others.

All-in-all this activity took a couple of hours to complete, so if you have less time, I would recommend you spread it out over two days.

Read a Three Little Pigs Book:

We love this classic story by James Marshall.

Recently, we looked at the story of The Three Little Pigs. We had heard lots of conversations about the wolf huffing and puffing (and seen it in the children's play) so we set up a station where the children could make their own 'Huff and Puff' pictures. It went down a treat and some children several up to 40 minutes dropping watered down ink onto the paper and blowing it like the wolf :-) It is so nice to see children so highly engaged and the conversations about mixing colours that took place were a treat to hear!

Evan loves Jack and the Beanstalk so I thought it would be fun to build a castle in the clouds like the story. This STEM and sensory activity was the perfect extension for the book.

Evan was introduced to Jack and the Beanstalk from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and has loved it ever since. His favorite part is when they go to the giant's castle in clouds. He really loves that giant.

I thought it would be really exciting for him to build his own castle in the clouds. It turned out I was right because he really loved this activity. He loves building with Mega Bloks and Duplo already, but the shaving cream really took this to the next level.
Supplies Needed: This post contains affiliate links.

A can of shaving cream (I got mine at the Dollar Tree)

A container to do the activity in

Jack and the Beanstalk book

Setting Up the Jack and the Beanstalk Activity

1. Spray out an entire can of shaving cream into the container. I had Evan help me with this for some additional fine motor practice.

2. Get your blocks out and put them near the container of shaving cream.

Building a Castle in the Clouds

I told Evan he was going to build a castle in the clouds just like Jack and the Beanstalk. He got really excited and immediately got to work on his castle.

Soon after starting, he discovered the palm tree tops that came with our Mega Bloks set and realized that if he stacked them he could make a beanstalk. Once the beanstalk was complete, he went back to work on his castle. He also made a giant and began acting out the story.

Along the way he got a bit distracted and enjoyed throwing blocks in the shaving cream. He also thought it was fun to paint the castle with shaving cream. The sensory aspect of this really appealed to him.

Eventually, he got back to castle building and ended up making a tall castle in the clouds. I think it turned out awesome!

If you are wondering, clean up was a breeze. I just hosed down the container and the blocks and let them dry. It was well worth it for all the fun Evan had!
