glue dots vs. foam glue question..

[nicknack]

I know, this is so random, but I didn't know where else to ask it!

Okay, so tomorrow is DS's birthday and the kids are going to be doing some cheapy foam crafts I bought from Oriental Trading Company. I did pick up some glue dots but I felt like they folded up pretty easily (like contacts) when I was trying one of the crafts last night. Would glue be easier? Like if I bought a bunch for the table? Wondering about the sharing thing as there are going to be like 15 of them. But then I'm just picturing them having trouble with the dots and/or losing them, etc...

Help! This birthday is making me mental!

do the foam pieces have a sticker on the back?
some of them do - you might want to check if a sticker comes off of the back of the pieces.

I would get some glue - pour it into bowls on the table with Popsicle sticks. Most kids do this at school - or use the glue bottle
would glue sticks work?

how old are the kids? glue dots might work just fine - show the kids how to use them and I'd think a 5+ year old could use them just fine.
