Sugar-Visuals Kids 12 Pack sugar facts nutritional test tubes amaze both kids and parents when they see how much sugar is in their favorite snacks! Sugar Visuals sugar facts test tubes are 12 of the most popular and frequently eaten snacks, candy and sugars marketed to children today.
Each 12 pack sugar test tube set comes with an educational guide and handout. Sugar Test tubes are stored in a sturdy colorful corrugated cardboard box that converts into a test tube rack.
