My class love to create their own pictures in the art center using all kinds of different materials. They absolutely love being able to use glue. We just got finished making Cat in the Hats for Dr. Seuss week.
My class of 4/5 year olds loves to PAINT. They will ask why we have not painted in a while if I let to much time pass between paint required projects.
My students love to fold paper and glue it to make wallets, books, and envelopes and then they stamp and write letters to friends and family.
We are down to 3 glue stick in my class! This would be amazing!
My students love creating anything with glue! I have a basket of scrap paper of every color they pull out and start making anything they can think of. My boys tend to make tractors out of every shape possible. I love their imagination.
Since art is not in our curriculum, my class works hard to make their science interactive notebooks very fancy and artistic.
We go through so much glue in my classroom! I have a k-2 special education class- we’re always using glue to make slime to address sensory needs. Most of my students are not able to write legibly so we glue words together to make sentences and to journal.
Working at a Title I school, supplies and funds are always limited. I would love to win the prize pack!! Oh, the things we could create!!:-)
We have a daily art center. Their favorite creations lately were snowmen, heart animals, and our heart penguins! Give them scissors, glue and paper and they are happy and content ?
That glitter glue is calling my name!
I make foldables with my kids. We use a lot of glue. Even though you tell them “dot, dot , not a lot” or “thin line, make it fine” it still gets used up very quickly.
Working as a special education teacher, warms my heart! When it comes to sensory, glue is the highlight to art! The fascinating creations these kids come up with are amazing!
My kids love making letter collages. Since we learn a letter a week finding those letters in magazines and old catalogs is always and adventure. They get excited when they find the letter of the week and when they see the once we had learn before.
My class of 2 1/2 year olds love paint + glueing. This week they enjoyed painting with rubber gloves to resemble cow udders for our farm theme. We also made Roosters + baby chicks using glue sticks. We do letter of the week projects as well. Winning glue for our classroom would be great.
Oh my goodness anything with paint glue and glitter they love it. Can’t wait to check
Out the teach music America site. My kiddos love music
My class loves to paint. They especially love painting their hands for art projects.
My class loves to create collages. It doesn’t matter what materials I put out to use for the collages — the students create the neatest works of art. Each piece is different. Once dry, we hang the collages all around the room.
Our Elementary Science Olympiad team has gone through a lot of glue – both sticks and bottles – working on different hot air balloon styles. We’re still not there yet, so more glue would be great.
My kids loved the sticky note art. Just the right size for a 4-5 year old!
My middle schoolers love mixed media! We just created self-portraits using magazines, paint, beads, stickers, feathers, and so much more! Projects like these light up my students eyes ?
My prek students love our post office center. They love making letters and pictures, and putting them n envelopes to “mail” them. We made our own stamps that they glue on the envelopes. Needless to say we go thought a lot of paper, envelopes and glue sticks!
I’m a new teacher to my class of 2 to 3 year olds. I have found that they love to glue every thing and anything together. Which makes it hard to have enough glue around. No matter how many times I explain that a little is a lot they just don’t get it lol! Please help!
