Abstract	Over recent years the concepts of interdisciplinary learning involving Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and additionally Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) education have become popular approaches in a range of educational contexts, especially within the early years. Despite this popularity, there is limited evidence in the scholarly literature highlighting the benefts and importance of STEAM for children’s learning outcomes and experiences. Further, some reports outline how the arts (dance, drama, media arts, music and visual arts) are often superficially tagged onto a STEM approach rather than embedding the arts authentically through learning and teaching.
