Glasstic Water Bottles

 

Glasstic Water Bottles are perfect for anyone that wants a glass water bottle but don't want to risk dropping and shattering the bottle. It has a plastic sleeve that protects the glass from shattering, a locking lid and a carrying clip. It is easy to wash and keep clean and is overall lightweight.

The plastic sleeve comes off and the lid removes so you can clean each component individually. What does this mean? It means there is no risk of mold in creases you can't reach because you can reach it all. You can either put this in the dishwasher because it is dishwasher safe or wash it by hand.

The lid has a slide lock on the side of the bottle so that you can lock the lid closed which is nice if your taking the water bottle jogging or hiking or on a bike ride. The liquid will not spill out. The clip also locks into angled positions so that you can carry comfortably while leaving your hands free.

The bottle is shatter proof but if it does happen to break the plastic sleeve will keep all the pieces contained in the sleeve. This is much safer than a bottle with another kind of sleeve.

We have loved Glasstic Water Bottles for years and will continue to love them for many more years to come. And this is because another good thing about the bottle, it has a lifetime warranty and free part replacements.

Also if you sign up for their newsletter on their website, you sign up for monthly sweepstakes and offers.

Families Invited to Join PBS for a Summer of Possibilities

 

New activities, resources and content from PBS KIDS and PBS LearningMedia encourage children to play and learn their own way this summer

 

Arlington, VA, May 18, 2021– After a year of remote learning, this summer offers new possibilities as parents, caregivers and educators take the time to regroup and refresh. PBS will offer fun new resources, content, and activities for families and educators, as well as tools to support the social and emotional growth of young children.  

 

“After a year unlike any other, we recognize that parents and kids are eager to celebrate the potential for learning and fun that each summer day brings,” said Lesli Rotenberg, Chief Programming Executive and General Manager, Children’s Media and Education, PBS. “Through PBS’ wealth of flexible, grab-and-go resources, families can approach the upcoming summer months in any way they choose, chasing kids’ curiosities and seeking out new discoveries from the living room to the backyard, and beyond.”

 

PBS and local stations across the country will offer shows, online resources, and community-based support throughout the summer to engage families and educators. 

 

Fans of PBS KIDS will get a chance to see episodes from favorite series, including new one-hour specials from MOLLY OF DENALI (June 7) and WILD KRATTS (July 12). And on the PBS KIDS 24/7 channel, families can tune in to PBS KIDS Family Night every weekend for themed programming, including nature, space, family traditions, arts, friends and neighbors, water, animals, storytelling, and routines. Each of these ten themes was selected to support key learning areas identified by educators and experts and curated to provide flexible play and learn opportunities, while corresponding with supplemental resources and games that will be sent weekly through the PBS KIDS for Parents newsletter. 

 

And PBS KIDS will encourage families to play their way all summer long with activities and resources on PBS KIDS for Parents – from a summer activity book featuring scavenger hunts to a summer checklist. Kids can also find curated game collections on pbskids.org and video playlists on the PBS KIDS Video app and the PBS KIDS YouTube channel.

 

PBS KIDS Read-Alongs, which have featured PBS KIDS friends like the Kratt Brothers and special guest readers including Michelle Obama, Christian Robinson, Kristen Bell, Jenna Bush Hager and many others, will continue this summer on PBS KIDS’ Facebook and YouTube. 

 

For the many educators continuing to teach or preparing for the coming school year, PBS LearningMedia provides two updated collections for summer, including:
