My church does an annual Golden Rule project which supplies school supplies to underprivileged children. All ages/grades are available with members taking their choice. I chose two kindergarten childrn (one boy and one girl) to supply. The church hands out lists of the supplies needed (including a book bag). One of the items needed for my book bags was four glue sticks. Staples was having a sale plus the sale item was a package of three glue sticks plus a bonus fourth stick which made it a perfect purchase for me.
Glue sticks are wonderful for kid projects. Unfortunately sometimes it's hard to see where the glue got applied. With these sticks the glue goes on purple making it easy to see where it is. This is important for using with kids. The glue can then get covered completely without other items sticking where they shouldn't!
