Yes, the stickers are designed to be moved and repositioned so children can create new scenes and stories again and again. They do not leave sticky residue, can be washed with water, and can't be torn by little hands.
What is the material used for the reusable stickers?
The stickers are made from thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). This material combines the advantages of both rubber and plastic. At room temperature, it is soft, elastic, and highly resilient—much like rubber—offering a comfortable tactile feel. Both production waste and end-of-life products can be 100% recycled and reused.
How safe are TPE plastic stickers for little ones?
TPE is an eco-friendly, non-toxic polymer material. Its production process involves neither heavy metals nor toxic phthalates (commonly known as plasticizers)—substances that are a primary source of risk associated with traditional PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastics. Consequently, TPE is widely regarded as an ideal alternative to PVC. Though it is free from harmful chemicals, the stickers should not be used by children who will put them in their mouth as some stickers sizes are a choking hazard.

What is a tupelo?
A tupelo is a type of deciduous tree known for its glossy green leaves and bright red fall colors [source: Encyclopedia Britannica]. In Canada, a tupelo tree called Black-gum (Nyssa sylvatica), also knows as Black tupelo, sourgum or Pepperidge, grows in swampy, wet areas of southwestern Ontario. [source: Tree Canada]
