*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Sleek Treat for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

If you are doing a keto or low carb diet, you know sugar is not your friend.  Neither are carbs.  But what if you have a sweet tooth and love snacking?  Sometimes it can be pretty tricky to find low carb or keto-approved goodies that actually help to keep you on track AND satisfy your craving for treats.  Sleek Treat is helping those who follow these diet plans take the guesswork out of finding snacks that are keto and low carb friendly and I couldn't be more excited to share this brand with y'all today! 

Yep, that's right.  There is a snack subscription box that you can indulge in without worry or guilt!  And it's practically zero effort on your part!  Sleek Treat is a snack box with a focus on natural, no added sugar and gluten free treats safe for diabetics, ketogenics and those interested in living healthy without sacrificing delicious flavor.  Even if you aren't one any type diet or regimented food plan, these snacks are great options for young and old!

Sleek Treat provides a range of cookies, bars, candy, nuts, granola, cheese snacks, confections and more each month which means you should always have great snack options on hand!  They do the tedious work of checking macros and reading nutrition labels so you don't have to stress.  All snacks in Sleek Treat have low net carbs per serving (typically 1-2g or less). Most snacks included are Gluten Free and if you are gluten intolerant you can make a note on your account to ensure you receive only gluten free snacks.

End of Summer Fun with Young Scientists Club Slime, Gel and Goop Kit!

*DISCLOSURE* Thank you to Young Scientists Club for providing product samples in order to facilitate this post.  All thoughts are strictly my own. 

As homeschoolers, we are always looking for educational, hands-on projects to help make learning more fun.  Concepts tend to stick better for my tactile learners when they can be explored through hands-on activities.  

The Magic School Bus kits from Young Scientists Club are an awesome resource for entertaining and engaging projects that encourage learning..and your kiddos may not even realize the valuable lessons they are learning because they will be having so much fun!  What better way to wrap up summer than with some Slime, Gel and Goop fun?!

Most of the materials you will need are provided in the box...you may need to grab a few items from the store, but for the most part any items not included, you probably already have lying around the house.

 The instruction manual is very thorough with plenty of pictures.  The experiments are laid out with easy to follow directions, backstory on what you will be learning, and space to fill in your hypothesis, results and conclusions.  This is great for teaching the scientific method.  There is space in the back of the book to help you figure out what to put in these blanks if you need a little help.

There is a handy dandy materials sheet in case you are confused at what something may be called...great for younger learners.

Each of the main members of the Magic School Bus cast gets at least one experiment or game to help teach your kiddos the lessons.  Here are a few of our favorites:

 Wanda's Experiment #2 using water absorbing crystals:

Carlos' Experiment #2 using jiggly marbles

Jyoti's Experiment #2 using gel crystals

 Arnold's Experiment using snow polymer

Tim's Experiment #1 making goop

Carlos' Experiment #1 making slime

The back of the booklet also contains info straight from the desk of Ms. Frizzle.  It gives additional information and the link to the site where you can ask any questions you may have.

Our kit was fantastic!  The kids really had a great time learning about Slime, Gel and Goop through the super fun experiments and games.  These kits would be great for backyard learning fun this summer.  Young Scientists Club also has school and group packs that are perfect for classrooms, homeschooling coops, boys and girls scouts, birthday parties, and after-school programs and science clubs.
