"I love that this glue bundle is perfect for all my craft and school projects. It’s simple to apply, washes off easily, and dries clear with a secure hold. I think it’s a fantastic value for how much you get, plus it’s safe for kids."

"This glue is exactly what I expect from a reliable brand—it performs well and is ideal for various projects. I’d definitely recommend it to others!"

"As someone who makes a lot of slime with my kids, I love that this gallon of Elmer’s glue is high quality and lasts through so many projects! We have plenty for winter fun and the glue works perfectly every time."

"I’ve always trusted Elmer’s, and this big bottle did not disappoint. The glue pours smoothly, dries crystal clear, and is perfect for crafts, school projects, and especially slime. The shipping was so quick, and the packaging kept everything safe—no leaks at all."

"I honestly didn’t get the whole slime craze until my daughter got into it. Now, buying her gallons of Elmer’s glue keeps her entertained and happy. She’s into science and loves to mix things in. I may not fully understand slime, but this glue is her go-to."

"I was thrilled to find a glue that wouldn't damage my Lego pieces, especially after being warned against using super glue. It worked well at first when I was building my Disney castle and was easy to apply with a paintbrush. However, after a couple of months, the structure became unstable and pieces started falling off. A year later, the glue was crusty and flaking everywhere, making cleanup a real hassle. This product is fine if you plan to rebuild your set later, but it's definitely not suitable for permanent displays or large builds."

"I used this glue on a small brick totem pole set that had parts which just wouldn't stay together. It worked perfectly and solved my problem, so I'm very happy with the purchase."

"If you're looking for a glue to keep Lego pieces together temporarily, this does the job. I forgot about a build for over two years, and it was still intact. But when I tried to finish it, the glue had become dry and crusty, causing some pieces to fall off. For anything long-lasting, you'd need a stronger adhesive."

"I bought these for my preschool class and they were a hit! The adhesive works really well, dries quickly, and the kids loved the pretty, colorful designs. They're also sturdy and just the right size for little hands. Great value—I'll definitely keep buying them."

"As a teacher, I noticed my daughter and her classmates were obsessed with the fun scents and colors these glue sticks offer. The kids use them in all sorts of creative ways—making scented cards and crafts. They've become so popular in my classroom that I even use them as prizes for good behavior. It's a simple way to get kids excited about creating!"

"I got the multipack of scented glue sticks for homeschooling, and while they stick well and are easy to use, the scents are hit or miss. Watermelon is the favorite in our house, but some of the others aren't as pleasant. Still, the performance is great and they keep craft time fun."

"I picked up this glue for my daughter's slime projects, and it turned out to be the perfect consistency. The bottle is large and lasts a long time, plus the value for the price is impressive. We haven't experienced any leaking, and it's been a breeze to use with slime activator."

"After using Elmer’s Liquid School Glue, I can say it’s fantastic for crafts and slime. The glue is thick, smooth, and easy to apply, and I love that it’s washable and safe for kids. Making slime is effortless, and clean-up is simple. It’s my top pick for any craft session!"

"I bought this glue in bulk for our school, and it’s proven to be a great value with solid quality. The kids enjoyed using it, especially for slime—easy to pour, reliable, and functional for all our classroom needs."

"I bought this as a Christmas gift, and while we haven’t opened it completely yet, it looks like it’s exactly what was requested. Delivery was as expected, and I appreciate the experience!"

"My kids love this toy! It's a fun, hands-on craft activity that hasn't broken once. The colors are beautiful, and the size is perfect for my daughter and son. It’s great for creativity."

"I found most components easy to use, especially the glitter and stickers, but the air pump arrived broken and the nano tape sizes were confusing. Otherwise, everything else worked fine."

"I use this glue for decorating foam trees with chocolate candies, and it’s been a game changer for attaching felt and foam. Everyone wants my creations now! If you’re into foam craft projects, this is a must-have."

"After a minor crash with my foam glider, I tried this glue and was relieved that it didn’t damage the foam and stayed flexible. It’s perfect for repairs where you don’t want a hard, brittle bond. I hope I won’t need it again soon, but it’s great to have on hand."

"I recently needed to fix the foam armrest on my office chair. At first, the bond didn’t hold, but when I applied a thin layer and waited patiently, it finally stuck. So, with a bit of persistence, this glue can get the job done."

"I was skeptical at first, but after using this tape for my Diorama, I’m really happy I got it. It brought my project to life in a way I didn’t expect—the transformation is dramatic!"

"This tape was the perfect addition to our playhouse! I used it as a border and around the doorway with monster truck decals, and my 3-year-old is in love. While it sometimes peels away on certain walls, it’s affordable and easy to replace or secure with wallpaper paste."

"These road tapes are a lifesaver for traveling with my toddler. They’re compact, easy to pack with toy cars, and come off cleanly from all sorts of surfaces. The quality is similar to washi tape—no sticky residue left behind."

"I got a bottle labeled Elmer's Glue, but it was brown, smelled off, and looked old. Also, the packaging wasn't exactly what was shown online."

"This highway tape is a real favorite in our home. It's simple to use, adheres well, and lifts off cleanly without mess. The fun, colorful road patterns instantly transform any area into a creative play zone. My kids spend hours playing with their toy cars on these tracks, which really encourages their imagination. I highly recommend it for any young car enthusiast!"

"I've purchased this tape multiple times and it never disappoints. It's the perfect fit for Hot Wheels, and the painter's tape-like material makes cleanup a breeze. My toddlers stay occupied for ages—it's a fantastic way to keep them entertained and creative."

"We've been buying this tape for years and our son is always excited to use it. He lays down roads everywhere we go, from restaurants to doctor's offices, and even on our furniture at home. It sticks securely during play but comes off easily when we're done. There's plenty on each roll, making it a smart buy, and I've even used it for fun gift wrapping. So versatile and always a hit!"
