Don't Let Glue Bottle Lids Glue Themselves Shut After Use

In elementary school, one of the items that every teacher has in stock is a bunch of bottles of glue. Kids need to work on their fine motor skills, and one of the ways they do this is by carefully cutting shapes and pasting them onto paper to make pretty pictures. We all remember being handed a glue bottle in school, trying to unscrew the lid only to find that it was glued shut.

Half the fun is trying to unscrew the glue lid and get at the sticky stuff. One way to avoid this is by putting a bit of Vaseline under the lid so that it never gets stuck.
