Their original glue is the best there is, in my opinion, so when I saw that they have a naturals line of glue I figured it couldn&rsquo;t stand up to the glue I grew up with or could it? The Naturals glue is made of 99% of natural ingredients. The natural glue&nbsp;is made from plants, rapidly renewable resource, and is just as safe and non-toxic as Elmer&rsquo;s School Glue.&nbsp; In addition, the bottle is made from 25% post-consumer recycled plastic with a label made from 20% recycled paper.&nbsp; The label is printed with soy inks and is adhered with a natural rubber adhesive.&nbsp; The natural glue may vary in color but will go on and dry clear.&nbsp; Any excess glue can be cleaned with soap and water and can be washed out of clothing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Some more information on Elmer&rsquo;s Natural Glue:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reinforcing its commitment to innovation and to supporting consumer demand Elmer&rsquo;s&reg; Products,&nbsp;Inc., makers of America&rsquo;s favorite school glue, is proud to introduce Elmer&rsquo;s&reg; School Glue<\/li>\n<li>Naturals&trade;&mdash; the FIRST and ONLY school glue made with naturally occurring ingredients and&nbsp;available in recycled packaging.<\/li>\n<li>Elmer&rsquo;s School Glue Naturals is just as strong, safe, non-toxic and washable as Elmer&rsquo;s&nbsp;traditional School Glue.<\/li>\n<li>Empty Elmer&rsquo;s School Glue bottles &ndash; both natural and traditional &ndash; can be recycled at&nbsp;home by consumers.

Pick out your construction paper colors. You&rsquo;ll need colors for the hand prints\/flowers, stems, and background.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2. Once you have your hand print colors picked out. Trace your child&rsquo;s hand print onto the paper and cut it out. Since the toddler has small hands we were able to fit 4 hand prints onto a standard size piece of construction paper. (repeat until desired amount of hands are created)<\/p>\n<p>Step 3. Cut out your stems. These are just rectangles.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4. Have your child glue the stems onto the construction paper and then glue the hand prints onto the stems.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5.
