Home Science Tools $30 Gift Card Giveaway!



Ahhhh, that was a nice break! Over this past weekend I flew up to Virginia to visit my brother who is stationed at Langley AFB. It was a fast and furious weekend of going here and there and by the time I got home, I was exhausted. Since it took me 4 days to recover from my 3 day visit I haven't written anything and now it is time to get back to work!

So, to ease myself back into blogging (because you know, I was gone for nearly a whole week. I hope I remember how this is all done), I am going to tell you about one of my absolute favorite homeschool resource stores, Home Science Tools. But that isn't all! I am also going to give one lucky reader a $30 gift card!

The subjects in which homeschooling parents are required to freak out about are in this order: reading, math and science. Well, I do, scratch that did, freak out about the first two, but because I found Home Science Tools early on in our journey, I never had to worry about science!

Check out some of these affordable products carried by Home Science Tools:






And this is not even close to everything! Everything from anthills to dissection equipment, I could just go on and on! They even have kits specifically for most of your major curriculum brands!

Now for the fun part! Home Science Tools has offered me ONE(1) $30 gift card good for anything on their site!! In order to be entered for one(1) entry, you MUST visit the Home Science Tools website and tell me what you would spend the gift certificate on. None of the bonus entries will count if you do not complete this first entry. For one(1) entry you can Follow My Blog. For one(1) entry you can "Like" Molding Minds Homeschool on Facebook. For one(1) entry you can Share On Facebook or on on your favorite social media site (to share just cut and paste this blog into your status and let me know where you shared). For one(1) entry you can follow Molding Minds on Twitter. This is a total of FIVE(5) chances to win!

Please post a SEPARATE COMMENT for each entry and be sure to leave an email address for me to contact you at if you win! Multiple entries in a single comment will not count! Be sure to read the entry requirements thoroughly!

Winners will be chosen Monday, August 1st at 7PM central and will be notified via email. Winners will have 72 hours to respond.



US Residents Only. I was not paid for this review. I was offered the gift certificate in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% mine. Please take a moment to read my disclosure policy.

    Do I have to pick just one thing?? I like the Pressed Flowers Collection Kit, the Frog Dissection Kit, the Owl Pellet Dissection Kit, and the Science Wiz DNA Kit. I'd put it towards all of that!

    Okay as far as wanting everything on Home Science Tools, a microscope is a big thing around here....but since we do a lot of nature study, we would spend it on the Pocket Microscope, because its portable and easy to pack if we go camping and really...going out of town, is a great opportunity to see "nature in action" in other areas since the surrounding environment is affected by different factors (river versus a bay or ocean; Type of climate) etc.

    I would love to tell you that I would use the gift certificate towards the DIVE Biology curriculum kit. But I cannot possibly afford that. Especially since we own some of it already.

    So I think I would use it for some of the pieces of that kit. Maybe the Human Torso Model.
