I am not much of a fan of glue sticks so they are all pretty much the same to me. While these don't change color to let you see where it has been applied it is okay for kids. It goes on nice and smooth but can get a little clumpy if the child presses too hard or goes too fast in applying You shouldn't require 400 characters because then people have to just keep typing and typing and typing to get to the limit. 300 characters would encourage better writing
These Staples Brand glue stick are so much better than the other popular school brands. They are easy to use I have never had one dry out the glue is clear so that it does not show through if it is used on white paper. The fact that it is clear makes it useable on any project from school to fancy scrap book projects or making invitations or whatever project one has in mind. It is also non messy which makes it great for kids or even toddlers to use. This is a product that I will continue to purchase and use.
I think I got a Great deal on this four pack of glue sticks. A great product for my elementary school children. I love that it is washable and that the color is purple. The Purple color is a plus since it helps the children and I see where we have already placed the glue on the paper. I think that staples should make them in different colors that are washable and disappearing( color) . I have noticed that the color disappears as it is drying which helps us figure out that that area needs to be reapplied.
I bought these for my Sunday school students. The sticks aren't as messy and with the color added they don't use as much glue because they can see it and know they have every inch covered
