Vincent solved a problem that has plagued me for years:
My 3-year old enjoys stickers, but frequently still has problems removing them from the sheet. What I've found is that if I remove the backing that runs around the stickers his frustration with them vanishes. The backing peels off in one quick pull, leaving just the stickers on the sheet and easy access for his small hands.

Make sure the stickers are the rounded or large shape variety. If there are lots of little legs (think: ponies!) then the back won't come off in one pull, or the legs will come with it. We now try to avoid stickers of ponies. One maiming too many....
btw, why don't the sticker companies do this for us?
