glue stick

Solid paste tube

A glue stick is a tube of solid adhesive that twists up like lipstick, used for paper crafts, school projects, and light bonding.

The adhesive goes on smoothly and dries quickly without the mess of liquid glue: The kids used glue sticks to make collages.

Most glue sticks are nontoxic and washable.
