Having the right glue for school can make all the difference when it comes to completing projects and assignments or setting up your classroom decoration theme for the year. Glue sticks and liquid glue are essential for any classroom, ensuring students have what they need to put together their work. But our selection of glue for school goes above and beyond the typical fare to include options for crafting, decorating and permanently fastening. Browse our variety of classroom glue options that are perfect for both home-schoolers and traditional classrooms alike and make shopping for classroom glue easier than it's ever been.

The perfect adhesive - classroom glue

When looking for glue for school, be sure to choose one that is strong enough to last. A good quality glue stick or liquid adhesive will ensure your projects stay together no matter how much you move them around or handle them. Check out Staples' selection of trusted brands, including Elmer's and Gorilla products, which offer the ultimate in adhesiveness, so you know your project will hold its shape long after you're done with it. You'll find school glue, rubber cement, hot glue guns, hot glue sticks and more in our curated selection of glue for school.

Choose what glue for works best for you

Not all projects require the same kind of school glue or adhesive, so be sure to pick the right one for your needs. For example, if your project requires a more precise application then try using a glue stick over liquid classroom glue; this provides a more accurate way of applying adhesive without causing too much mess. On the other hand, if you're creating something larger then a liquid school glue may be better as it allows a wider area of coverage - just be sure to use enough so everything stays secure! You may find that a spray adhesive or a hot glue gun will work better for bigger projects involving mixed media like fabric or foam. You might even need a quick adhering glue that will stand up to serious wear and tear, like a super glue with instant bonding power.

Fun glue for school options

You might want a disappearing washable glue for certain projects, but don't forget to grab glue for crafting projects in the classroom as well. Kids will love making art that shimmers and shines with glitter glues. That's why our selection of craft glues includes glitter and washable glues that will bring a pop of color to any art class project, craft activity or fun bulletin board. Don't forget, teachers, you can pick up easy-to-use glue tape, glue dots and mounting putty for easy classroom decorations here as well!
