This product works extremely well for Grade 3 students and up. Kids love when they can see where they've applied the glue and then are amazed when it dries clear. Product does not dry out if gluestick is rolled back down and cap is put on completely.
I'm a big fan of glue sticks - not only for paper - but to use on fabric in my quilting business as well. I really like the purple-tinted ones because you can see exactly where you are putting it. The Staples brand has always performed just as well as other brands and washed out of fabric with no problem. I like buying the multi-pack so that I can keep one by the sewing machine for temporarily sticking buttons in place before sewing them on one for applique pieces for quilting and one in my office for paper. The fourth one goes in my travel bag. Great product at a great price!
Who can't use a glue stick for an easy fix or a project. We have been layering signage to create boldness for marketing purposes and the glue sticks work so much better than Elmer glue!
