I have a super-duper glue gun that I use all the time for crafting (and have burned myself on plenty). That is the sort of tool NOT suitable for children to use. This is the kind a young person can use safely and still enjoy the quick-build effect you get from a glue gun. It is a small tool, about 6" from tip to tip, with a squeeze trigger. It takes small round glue sticks (3 included) and is easy for small hands to maneuver. This is perfect for creative building with craft sticks. The package recommends for use with 12-year-olds and up, but with supervision, a younger child could use it too. ~Sara
