We all know that young kids love playing with stickers, but the problem is that they really do stick to everything and it's often hard to peel them off. Your floors, walls and furniture pay the price. What I do is buy lots of sheets of multi-colored sticker dots (the ones you can buy at Staples), and we play a game where my kids can put stickers on my face or hands or clothing and nowhere else. It is a great way to teach colors, numbers, and body parts too. I say 'put one yellow dot on my nose, two green dots on my forehead, three blue dots on my cheek, etc.' They love the game and the stickers came off easily. You'll notice too that these adhesive dots are not as sticky as normal stickers, so even if your kids end up sticking some on the furniture, they peel off easily. This is a great activity for airplanes and doctor's offices.
Materials Needed: Sticker dots
Ages: 2-4 year olds

I love this ! My kids think making me look ridiculous is the best game ever and they don't even realize they are learning.
