How to make your own custom lick-and-stick stickers.
Sometimes it is hard to find just the right sticker for the situation, so why not try and make your own? Use them on time-lines, in workbooks, for a gift, as rewards, etc.
Here is a great project you can do to make your own inexpensive lick-and-stick stickers out of the pictures of your choosing!
Design your own stickers, print something from the computer, cut pictures from magazines, etc. Turn your favourite pictures into your very own stickers!!!
When the kids are ready to use the stickers that they’ve created, all they have to do is lick the back of the picture and adhere it to whatever they want. The dry gelatin is completely tasteless and safe for kids to ingest. Make sure to provide guidelines about what surfaces are OK for stickers (paper, notebooks, maybe even a lunch box) and what surfaces are off-limits (walls, furniture, etc.).
