Following are the materials, digital technology, and resources that can develop children for early childhood education involving engineering:
1. **Construction Kits and Building Blocks**: Wood blocks, LEGO, magnetic tiles enable children to build models while focusing on problem-solving and spatial awareness.
2. **Basic Tools**: Soft-hitting child-sized hammers, screws, wrenches, hands-on construction activity tools.
3. **Materials that can be recycled**: Paper tubes, cardboard, and plastic bottles are materials utilized in prototypes and model making(Blank & Lynch, 2018).
4. **Apps**: Creating apps such as "TinkerCAD" or "Simple Machines" by which children can create and experiment online.
5. **Interactive Whiteboards**: To use for illustrating engineering principles and getting children involved in design activity.
6. **STEM Kits**: Pre-assembled engineering kits for projects such as building bridges, building pulleys, or building simple machines.
