Stickers made easy

If your child happens to be like my child, then they love stickers. if you happen to be like me, then you hate the work that entails for you.
Well, years ago working in the daycare world I discovered a wonderful trick. Instead of trying to peal off sticker after sticker for the children, I would pull off the surrounding "waste" and it made it easier for those little fingers to get the stickers off.
Occasionally I would find they still had trouble. In most cases you can bend whole sections to the backing back a bit. Exposing the edge of the stickers.
It's been helpful, children get the satisfaction of being a bit more independent and I, I don't have to pick at endless sticker edges.
