Glue dots are convenient little gobs of acid free glue, that come on sheets or in dispensers, which look much like a typical roll of tape. They bond instantly with no mess, and come in several types for differing applications.
My little daughter and I tried out glue dots on a paper craft project a couple weeks ago. We colored some paper with streaks of oil pastels, then I cut out some simple flower shapes. We twisted peices of green tissue paper to make stems for our flowers, then rolled on some Glue dots to attach them to a sheet of plain white paper to assemble our bouquet. My daughter has autism, and it can be hard to keep her focused, so we used the removable Glue Dots, just in case some went astray.
Once we had completed the project my daughter wanted to continue sticking on flowers. I cut out a bunch more random shapes and backed them with the removable Glue Dots. She had a good time adding them to the paper and removing them, for about a half hour while I sat at the table with her. Our little project ended out pretty mangled in the end, but she had fun
