No paste eating here, although I had several first grade classmates who did. There was this one girl who would eat the paper off the Crayolas.
itsjulie, what you describe is something that I would do with overages of Elmer's Glue, but paste never dried quite the same way on your hands ... I liked making glue fingerprints.
Does anyone even make the old style of semi-solid paste with the plastic applicator? Admittedly I haven't gone looking for it in quite some while, but I don't recall seeing it recently. It's all glue stick this and glitter glue that these days. What kind of fun is glue with the glitter already mixed in??? You can't hardly make any kind of mess with that! It's all washable and guaranteed not to stain, dries clear?? Theres' no fun in a glue that dries clear! Sheesh. And hey, anybody seen a glass bottle of mucilage lately?
feh.
Kids these days. They don't know what they're missing. You try to tell them and they think you're crazy.
