I found them at my local Sam's Club. They come 24 to a pack which meant I had to buy 2 packs to make sure I had enough for my class of 27! Luckily I talked my teaching buddy into buying them too so we are splitting the extra pack. They were only $9.99 so they were a lot more economical than some of the things I have bought in the past, and I know my kiddos will love them.
I also love the test tubes - since we are having our Science Fair January 31st, I thought the test tubes would be a good reminder of all the science experiments we will see/do. And no, I haven't even a clue about what we're going to do for our class science experiment. We were only given a two week notice about the fair since its run by the intermediate classes. I wish we had more time to do a really prolonged, investigative experiment, but we will have to settle for something that won't take too long to set up and complete so we have time to write it up and make our display board.
Does your class have to have a Science Fair project? Have any great ideas for me? I'd love it if you'd rustle up a comment below for me!
If you don't have a Sam's Club nearby or your store doesn't have the gumball test tubes you can always just make baggies of gumballs like this:

Cute idea! We had a Kindergarten Science Fair last year and every kinder did a project and made a board! We had lots of volcanoes,what happens when you add mentos to soda, and effects to plants with different amounts of sunlight! Have fun!:)

Live, Laugh, I love Kindergarten
Love your idea and the "I "chews" you" card is precious, too! Can't wait for Valentines Day!!
Those are too cute! You're so sweet to get your kiddos something. We've done easy science fair projects-like ramps-will raising it higher make it roll faster? Or how many drops of water a penny will hold? :)

Super cute. My kids love gum! What about which soda stains your teeth the fastest? Use Cara Carroll's teeth unit( egg experiment )
I love the bubblegum gifts!! I made an "I Chews You" craft for Valentine's Day and these would be perfect! :)

A Cupcake for the Teacher
A kindergarten teacher at our school asked the children which drink was better for their teeth. They soaked eggs in cups of water, 7-Up/Sprite, and Coke/Pepsi for a period of time and then compared the color of the egg shells.
