WIN - Glee Gum Kit - Valentines Gift Idea #20

Valentines Day is the perfect time to treat your kids to not only a fun sweet treat but a creative one as well with Glee Gums fun make your own kits.

Connect kids to the global community by tracing the origins of raw materials we encounter in our daily lives. Our gum kit uses natural chicle. Our chocolate kit includes organic cocoa butter from Costa Rica, and the gummy kit contains carrageenan made from seaweed from the Philippines.

Create something exciting and delicious. At Verve, we believe people learn by doing. By creating delicious edible treats with our kits, kids also create connections to each other, between various fields of studies, and to other communities and cultures.

Captivate kids' interest. Kids have always loved to stir, mix, touch and taste our great activity kits. Now children can make yummy treats while learning about: the rainforest, ethnobotany, chemistry, mathematics and measurement, ecology and environmental issues, home economics, nutrition, the oceans and more!

They offer three kits:

MAKE YOUR OWN CHEWING GUM, FROM SCRATCH!

The secret to the Make Your Own Chewing Gum Kit is chicle, the sap of the sapodilla tree that grows in the rainforests of Central America. This all-natural, educational, and eco-friendly activity kit comes with pre-packaged ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions. Kids aged 8 and up get a real kick out of making gum from scratch; younger children enjoy it too, with parental supervision! Each kit makes enough for 50 pieces, in cherry and cinnamon flavors. Focusing on the history behind and the origin of this sweet treat, the Make Your Own Chewing Gum Kit is designed to captivate kids’ interest, connect them to the global community, and create something yummy to eat in the process!
