Moldable Glue That’ll Blow Their Minds

We’ve all been there: a kid’s favorite toy has a crack or is broken and ordinary glue won’t fix the problem. Enter Sugru, an innovative, patented moldable glue that lets kids and adults mend all kinds of broken things or create unique projects that require a super-strong, waterproof, bendable adhesive. Created by FORMFORMFORM, a London-based team of inventors, material scientists and designers, Sugru sticks permanently to ceramic, glass, metal, wood, and most plastics and fabrics. After 24 hours of curing, Sugru turns into a durable, flexible silicone rubber that stays stuck (unless you remove it). Additional project ideas and inspiration can be found at Sugru’s engaging YouTube channel or its quirky Instagram account.

Available at Sugru, $15.
