Make Your Own Gum Kit

Use the Make Your Own Gum Kit from Glee Gum to learn what a Central American rainforest and gum have in common! Although most chewing gum today is made from synthetic polymers, this kit introduces the naturally-occurring polymer that was first used to give gum its chewiness. Plus see how you help the environment when you make your own chewing gum! This interdisciplinary chewing gum kit contains all necessary ingredients to make about 50 pieces of gum: chicle gum base, confectioner's sugar, corn syrup, 2 flavor packets, a plastic pan, and an instruction/ story booklet.
