Glue
GLUE! Do you have a love/hate relationship with glue in your classroom or at home?
It's great for art projects or review worksheets, but it is always clogging! I get quite frustrated during every project using glue because I am spending most of my time with a thumb tack in my hand digging out hard glue clogged in each bottle! I have a great tip for you! Just use oil in the lids. Here is a tutorial. -Thank you to my student teaching cooperating teacher who gave me this tip a couple years ago!
Disclaimer: This does not work miracles. You'll just notice that your glue will clog much less and will be easier to un-clog if it does! :)

| 1. Take off caps {I use pliers} and put them in a bowl. |
| 2. Add 2 tablespoons of oil (any kind) to your bowl of lids. Get the oil inside the lids too! |
| 3. Rinse the lids. Don't worry about getting all of the oil off. It works in your favor! |
| 4. Put the lids on and enjoy clog free glue! |
