Went to Staples to find products for my family reunion was looking for bags and labels and something to put all the designs on the bags. I ran into a product called the glue stick. "WOW" best thing since the old bottled glue we used in grade school. This product was even better. All I had to do was open the package and run the glue across the labels and stick them on the bags. Really came out perfect no mess to clean up and was quick to dry. I also got the remainder of products while there to complete the grab bags. Great buy on the ink pens and the reams of paper.
I like these glue sticks for kids because 1. washable (duh) and 2. the glue is visible on the paper so they know how much they are using. The price is reasonable but if you can buy in bulk there is a better discount. Of course you would use your Teacher Rewards card to get points toward the coffee maker you want to buy and hide in your desk for those long afternoons when recess is too short. I never buy one glue stick per child by the way because I want them to learn to share. One for every two children is good enough.
The Staples Washable Glue sticks are a great value for the price. I purchased them for my son since it was on his school list and only paid $1.25 for the pack of 4. That in my book is a win-win since he only needed two. Now I get to keep two at home for my projects!
