TOO MUCH GLUE


I love reading this book the first time we use glue in Kindergarten since it's fun to see what NOT to do! Since we begin by studying line I give them an assortment of paper strips to make a collage. Rather than use scissors I encourage them to tear the paper to make it smaller. It's also a good way for them to develop fine motor strength. For glue I use spill-proof cups and cheap plastic brushes. These are SO much easier to refill, and they never get clogged the way glue bottles do. Plus using brushes prevents puddles and putting TOO MUCH GLUE on their paper ; )
