Key safety factors for school stickers
Look for stickers made from waterproof vinyl or similar non‑porous materials. Waterproof die‑cut stickers, like the Toucan Sticker (2" x 1.7"), resist spills and stay securely attached, reducing the chance of ink smearing onto clothing or skin. While Annuzza Art does not list specific toxicity certifications, the absence of known hazardous inks in the product description suggests they are suitable for everyday use.

Even safe stickers should be applied by an adult for younger children. Small stickers can become choking hazards, so supervision is important. Choose larger formats for kids under five, and avoid placing stickers on surfaces that need to stay clean, such as whiteboards or laminated pages that may be regularly wiped.
- Apply stickers on smooth, clean surfaces for best adhesion.
- Use larger stickers for younger children to minimize choking risk.
