Non toxic glue?

Ive been looking at a lot of glues that say on the label they are non toxic but then they also say not suitable for children under three years old,im confused?

Hrrrm, maybe just go for PVA glue? It's kids glue and non-toxic. Would be fine if your hammie ate some, it never killed me....not that I ever ate any as a kid...

Both the pva and the wood glue said it?

Oooh...well I ate some as a kid XD
I get this 'fun PVA glue' decorated all childishly as I figure tthat's for younger kids XD

I've seen Elmer's Glue recommended many times.

I think PVA is fine. They use it in most schools with children and undoubtably some gets eaten (by Eleanor

)
I've used it on my homemade things and my hammies are fine. Most of the glue isn't normally accessible for them to eat anyway I find.

Shhh! It smelt like vinegar and I had a mad moment and wanted to see if it tasted like vinegar too XD

And did it?

Just a thought. Things are usually marked as unsuitable for under 3s because they have small components that could be swallowed. Maybe the glue containers have small caps and that's the issue rather than the glue being toxic?

As Lougarry has said, it could be under threes because it has small pieces or maybe cos it's so damn messy? I wouldn't give my little brother liquid glue, he would get it EVERYWHERE
