    I use mine for all sorts of stuff. Sticking twigs down on collages, gems on plastic cups. I made some capes for dressing up and used the glue gun to stick jewels on them. Trouble is dh pinches it when he's doing his DIY. Definately worth a fiver hun. xx

    Do I need a glue gun???

    Of course you do! It's a necessity like a laminator and a staple gun.

    You have got a staple gun, haven't you?

    I use my glue gun for So much. When I brought it DH said it was a waste of money so I've been determined to prove him wrong. Got mine off amazon for about £3 I think and it's brilliant!

    glue lids on top of sensory bottles, bits for dressing up clothes, mended some wooden toys ...

    today I glued bits of stick & horse chestnut shells that LO had found in garden and stuck on paper ( with lick bless! )

    dh said I didn't need one ( HA! what does he know? ) and he has used it several times not sure what for though! oh yes ... once to mend his shoes !!!




    my staple gun has died ... I need a new one!

    Is it really any better than superglue? I'm still not convinced (although you we're all right about the laminator!)

    I would also love a book binding machine for when we make our own books.
    I would also love some maids.
    I use my glue gun for sticking googly eyes onto felt amongst other things.

    Ohh, just remembered I DO have a glue gun, in fact I have 2! Just off to find them!

    Laminators - what did we do before they were invented. EVERYTHING in the house is laminated, tried laminating the children before lunch one day....

    Glue guns are worth having. Definitely. They are a great tool for the kids to use too. They help teach the kids how to listen to and follow simple rules, and how to use things with care. My kids love it when I let them at the glue guns.
