Elmer’s glue for the classroom

White glue from Elmer’s is a classroom staple for crafts material, including paper, cloth, wood, and cardboard. It’s washable from skin and clothes, yet leaves a permanent bond. In several squeeze-bottle sizes from 4 to 7.6 ounces and multipack sizes, the glue provides even-flow, twist, and pop-up applicators to make projects easy and orderly. Gallon-size jars of Elmer’s school glue are available, along with glue pumps for filling other squeeze-bottle applicators.

Besides traditional Elmer’s school glue, hard paste glue sticks, also in different sizes and packages, provide an easy, clean way to bond materials: Twist the stick to expose the glue and dab the adhesive tip on the surface. Some sticks are available in purple glue, which lets users see where they put the adhesive, but it dries clear and doesn’t show through the paper.

Fun products for kids

Although glue provides adhesive bonds, Elmer’s school glue is also a base product for preparing slime, the squishy, stretchable, oozy blob that kids love for its tactile experience. Elmer’s creates a formula called Magical Liquid as a substitute for household products to combine with glue to make slime. Magical Liquid packs contain assorted colors of glitter glue to create slime in eye-popping visuals. The slime is washable and nontoxic.

Elmer’s school glue transitions to home, office, and the trades

Elmer’s Glue-All® is a squeeze-bottle white washable adhesive for the home and office, offering a permanent bond between substrates that include ceramic and glass. Washable Elmer’s glue sticks are also available for home or office, including all-purpose and extra-strength sticks for presentations, mailing and shipping, and projects using foam board. In addition, Elmer’s offers a carpenter’s glue that woodworking professionals use to bind boards, secure joints, and repair furniture.

Special formulas to choose from

Elmer’s glue includes super glue, which bonds just about anything. Other Elmer’s products are useful for crafts and hobbies:

• No-wrinkle rubber cement for attaching photos and cutouts to substrates without long-term crinkling at the bonding points
• Repositionable poster and photo glue, which provides a stick-and-remove option when adhered only to one substrate
• Adhesive putty sticks, which are ideal for scrapbooking
