Sticky But Washable......
The glue sticks very well and the magic of how the purple just disappeared when dry AMAZING. Its is great for all your crafty needs and holds really well. This product is very well packaged and the value is worth the cost.

Hands down our top pick for glue sticks
We love how fast these glue sticks dry and how well they adhere, especially as glue sticks. They wash easily from hands and clothes and even the table. There isn't much of a scent but what is there is very mild.

ELMERS WASHABLE PURPLE GLUE STICK
Bought these for my 1st grader he had them on his back to school list.They are so easy for him to do class projects.Also it's disappearing so it goes on purple but is invisible after its applied so you can see where your application is applied. It's also easily washable from clothes , fingers ect.Highly recommend it as a glue it's very strong for paper to paper or light craft projects

Great for crafts!
I repurpose cardboard boxes from new cellphones, or sometimes paper mache boxes, as storage/gift boxes. I cover them inside and out with cardstock, designer paper, and sometimes add embellishments to suit the theme. Anyway, I SWEAR by these Elmer's Disappearing Purple Glue Sticks! After I cut and arrange my pieces of paper, I cover a small section of the box with the glue and lay down the pieces. Having the purple tint shows me where there is glue, and if I need to put a smidge more to hold the whole piece of paper. The glue is still tacky after three or four minutes, allowing for alterations or even removing every piece and starting over again! As long as I do it slowly, I can peel the paper off without damaging the paper or the surface. It also helps to secure washi tape surfaces and to glue down those corners that pop up without making a big mess (like regular school glue would probably do). The pièce de résistance? I can get it all over my fingers under my fingernails, on the table, on my shirt, or anything else it comes in contact with while I'm working and it washes off with soap and water like a champ!

Doesnt stick
Does not work. Bought to stick computer paper notes to a notebook and it does not even stick to the notebook. If you do manage to get it stuck it fall off.

Wont even adhere paper to paper.
I bought this to use solely for glue printer paper into my journal, and it’s not holding paper to paper, that’s about as basic as a glue stick needs to preform. I applied the glue full coverage to the paper specifically getting the corners and edges and this is the result (see photograph). Will be returning.

Washable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this girls for projects with my girls. It's easy to use and easier to clean up. A lot of things say washable and never truly are. This is easy to clean up and if it happens to get on something it comes off very easily.

The glue was good but not a fan of the application
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave this glue stick to a kindergarten teacher to use in her class and this product just isn’t for kids!! The stick glue has always kinda been for kids because it just glides on paper but this glue stick made a huge mess with her kids. I would be careful giving this to your kids and maybe just helping them with any glueing project.

We love Elmer's glue
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I run a daycare and we love our Elmer's glue. I am songreatfuk to have a brand that cares about its products and thebkids who use it. I know my kids are always safe using there products. This glue is awesome. We needed something the kids could see but would not show up under there art. This glue dried perfectly clear and did not make the paint color bleed.
