ELMERS WHITE GLUE works well for this job. It dries clear amd since it is
water soluable, the excess wipes off very easily with a damp cloth. As long
as she isn't going to put water in it or put it in water, it will hold very
well.

Lisa,
E-6000 works well and you can wash it, it's not water soluble. It's
available in hardware stores, craft stores and many other places. For
small area applications, I use wooden BBQ skewers. I use a second one to
"clean up" any that glue that is squeezed out the sides. I just dip the
skewer in rubbing alcohol, give it a shake, & the glue wipes right up.
You can also manipulate the glue this way.
Hope this helps!

Lisa - About 5 or 6 years ago, I broke a stoneware bowl in half. It's a
slightly coarse, greyish-red body, but I don't know exactly what - it was in
a set of thrown dinnerware that I purchased. Anyhow, we glued it with plain
old "super glue" and it has gone through the dishwasher at least once a week a
nd the microwave occasionally ever since. It's still holding strong.
