Does the job
By auj

Bought many different types of glues for Granddaughter as she uses like paint or makes a collage out of various papers, glues, paints, or other objects stuck on large paper. all the glues worked well.

Great for Kids, But Hold is Limited
By MountainKidsMama
from Carbondale, Colorado
Such a great idea - love that it comes off easily from kids' hands. Easy to use, but doesn't tend to hold as well as hoped. The kids love to glue gemstones & googly eyes on their popsicle stick frames or paper projects & they end up falling off, so I reapply with hot glue. Will continue to use for tissue & construction paper adhesion.

Fells like water on hands
By HVP04
from NY
This glue is pretty good. It is not messy, it feels like water on the hands and wipes clean very easily with no sticky mess. The only thing I did not like was that it did not hold the paper in place very well when my son was sticking it down. It moved around too easily. On the other hand, it dried well and holds good. The left over glue that I didn't put back in the container is still wet after 3 days out in the open!

I used this product with my daycare children. We used it on paper and construction paper, it dries pretty fast but, once it is dry the stuff falls off!

Magically disappears!
By K2009
from Massachusetts
This glue DOES magically disappear from skin and you will not hear children say that they need to wash the sticky glue from their fingers; this is great! However, the glue does not stick as well and takes more time to dry. I have noticed that it wets the paper and does not take hold right away. Its gel-like and is very slippery. After checking dried projects, the glue did take hold but certain paper can be peeled right off.

Truly Works!
By WECenter
from Williston, VT
It really is magic. I work in a daycare, and these kids get their hands, arms, faces, and every other body part covered whenever we do projects. It actually sticks the items we want together, but it comes right off of the little ones! Amazing! Get it while you can on sale!

It just doesn't work
By cjfw
from Undisclosed
I purchased the Magic Finger Glue for use with Pre-schoolers. I tried it in several different applications and none of them held together. Regular white glue works better and is easy to peel off fingers.

Didn't stick well
By homeschoolmom
The concept of this glue is great, and it really doesn't leave a mess on your fingers. My children just had trouble getting it to work well. They had to use A LOT to get two pieces of paper to stick well and even then, edges started to come up later. Good idea, but needs improvement.

Not as Sticky but still a Great Glue
By MYsMommy
from Lakewood, NJ
Initially bought 2 bottles to try with our daycare (ages 2-7).We just ordered 6 more and will continue to use this glue instead of basic white glue for most projects.The kids loved the feel and the ease of clean-up. It did not seem to hold as well, especially things heavier than paper- we were using pom poms- but the kids figured out that if you dip the item into the glue instead of using your fingers, it seems to work just fine. Drying time is also much longer, many projects were still damp after 24 hours.
excellent for quick young 2's
By Ange
from North Carolina
We love this stuff. It is very easy to use, easy to clean up tables and hands. I will be reordering all year, and passing on to my collegues.

GREAT!
By Laci1218
from Baltimore, Maryland
my kids loved the glue! i work at a day care and i have nine 15month old kids. they loved being able to put there hands right into the glue and rub it on the paper. and i think it stuck really well. i was able to glue construction paper together with no problems. and it was such easy clean up - i was not worried at all about them running from the table to the carpeted area and touching toys because it felt and dried just like water!!
Doesn't stick
By Jamocha
Suggest using finger to apply directly to project. However, a finger dip is not enough of the product to stick it on to another surface.
It really isn't sticky!
By chips
This will help my young ones focus on the glueing and not on their sticky fingers!

Will not purchase again
By RKCYakima
from Yakima, Washington
While this glue sounded like a wonderful idea, the reality is that it doesn't stick at all. Within a few minutes the pieces will fall off.

Great
By sesroh27
from Frankfort, KY
This is the best glue for children who do not like to get glue on their fingers. My kids actually stuck their hands in the glue to make a project and didn't mind it at all.
magic finger glue
By anna
from Urbana, IL
Great stuff! Really easy for our two year olds to use. And it's amazing how it doesn't leave the fingers sticky!
does not stick well
By kareeena
from New Hampshire
This glue is amazing in how it sinks right into your skin--you'd never know you had glue on your fingers after rubbing it in. Unfortunately it did not hold 2 pieces of paper together for me. My hopes for this were high and I am glad I only invested in one container of it.
