Hi, I hope you don't mind me jumping into this discussion.
DD also loves craft. She is almost 4 and starting to come up with her own ideas. The other morning, she got up before anyone else and when I walked into the kitchen table, I saw that she had drawn, coloured and cut out a bird's head, tail and two wings, sticky taped it all together and taped a pencil to the back to hold her "puppet". I was blown away! She has no interest in TV anymore, just wants to colour, cut and tape all day (when she's not running around and climbing).
I'm really enjoying it, too. There are sooo many things you can do. Even just a white paper plate could be the starting point to a million different projects.
Anyway, I have a question for the seasoned kiddy crafters out there: What's the best glue to use? I have some Clag PVA kids glue. But I don't like it at all. It takes forever to dry, is very messy and not very strong. I also have a glue stick, which I like for paper, but it's useless when we're trying to stick flat beads or googley eyes on. For this I like to use either a UHU brand super glue
or a hot glue gun. But they are both not very kid friendly. The Superglue sticks DDs fingers together (slight exaggeration) and the glue gun is very hot and dangerous.
What do you use to stick things like feathers or pompoms onto card etc.?
