As a PreK teacher this product is a must! Its benefits are size and neatness. Students can open & close them easily. Packs store neatly and and sticks fit well into little pocket baskets that organize student art boxes for scissors crayons and markers etc. Its width is wider than previous sticks I've used which allows students to finish art projects sooner. Its disadvantage is its staying power. If not enough glue is applied on day 1 parts will fall off on day 2 but students get used to that. Good job.
