Give Clara something to glue and she is happy. Seriously. You name it and she will glue it. Buttons, google eyes, seashells, pictures out of magazines, pasta, beans, trash. The list goes on. She loves glue sticks and can go through a stick in about 30 minutes flat.
I thought I would try introducing her to white glue. I hyped it up. Only to find out we were out. Darn. Great, Stacey. I didn't want to let her down so I dug around the house and found the next best thing. Tacky glue. Really. Why? It doesn't ooze out as fast as Elmer's glue. She can squeeze as hard as she can and it will not ooze out. Perfect for teaching her to only use "one dot" like I taught my kindergartners. She is getting pretty good, too.
