THIS ACTIVITY WORKS WELL WITH
Place the sponge in your shallow container. You may need to trim it some depending on the size. Pour the glue into the bottom of the container. Lay the sponge on top and pour more glue on top. Close the lid and turn them upside down for a day or two. The glue will soak into the sponge. Once that is done they will look like a wet sponge and they are ready to use.
To use the close sponges, teach the kids to slowly dab their papers on the sponge and then stick it down.
Their little fingers do not get messy when using the glue sponges. If by chance they do get a bit of glue on their fingers, have them rub those 2 fingers together and the glue disappears.
When using glue sponges, there are no glue spills, accidental liquid glue caps coming off, glue puddles or lost glue stick caps! It’s fabulous.
We refilled ours every couple of weeks and flipped the sponges over a couple of times a week. They never dried out and many teachers use them all year.
Well, students are definitely using those little grasping skills to stick the pieces of paper on the sponge. You don’t have to just use these, you also use glue bottles for some projects if you are worried about your students not working on fine motor skills by squeezing the glue bottle.
