Giveaway - Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling - CLOSED

Giveaway is now closed. Congrats to winner victoria99.

Elmer's is a name that is synonymous with school supplies. However, not only are they a reliable part of your back-to-school shopping, but they are working to help educate school children in means and methods of recycling!

The Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program was created to help teachers educate their students in eco-friendly practices. They offer projects, materials, lesson plans, and special offers. And you don't HAVE to work in the public school system to have these resources. Some adorable projects in the teachers' area would be perfect for at-home craft projects and homeschoolers as well as private school teachers. And they offer prizes. Who doesn't like prizes?!

You can help with the recycling effort by joining in their efforts and recycling your glue bottles! Click here to learn how!

Recycling, when taught early, can become a regular part of your child's life...and teach them now while they still get excited about new things! =)

To promote this program, Elmer's sent me a bright Elmer-orange backpack (love that!) full of glue.


See all that stuff?

I think they sent me one of each type of glue they make!




And many of these I didn't even know about!

I was overwhelmed with their generosity. I will be keeping several of them for our home projects and maybe for a year or two's school supply. The rest will be donated to a teacher friend of mine.

Win It:
Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program is going to send one lucky winner a prize package of similar proportions to the one I showed you above. Seriously....lotsa' stuff, people!
