My daughter is putting together a scrapbook for a class project. She has to glue a lot of items. She had to use a lot of the glue to get things to stick. She has gone through 2 sticks already and has only completed about 4 pages not glueing that much down.
My kids are 5 and 4. They can negotiate the standard brands of glue sticks but cannot open the staples brand glue sticks by themselves. Other than the glue works as well as any other.
