Go Glue Go!

I haven't used this product yet, but as a future teacher (God-willing!) I know my classroom will most likely have this in stock!

The Paper Place featured this today on their blog, here is what they said about it:

"We would like to introduce you to another one of our favourite adhesives – the intoxicating Coccoina. This almond scented potato starch paste has been used for decades in Italian classrooms. It is non-toxic, solvent free, dries quickly, reversible with water and will not wrinkle paper. Quite the resume! And it all comes packaged in a lovely retro looking tin with a brush, or the more portable glue stick – both of which are available at our Queen St. store. Much more enjoyable to work with glue that smells like marzipan, instead of nasty solvents!"

My teacher heart couldn't be happier to hear this exists. Remember that rubber cement stuff we used to use?!? Horrible. Glad it was finally banned.
