Melissa and Doug Reusable Sticker Pad Habitats
Extra large sticker pad with over 150 reposition-able stickers.
They make several pads, but this is my favorite. It comes with a farm, jungle, sea, dinosaurs, and desert scenes. PRO TIPS - Use one scene at a time. Peel off the backing so it's easier for her to remove the stickers herself. And remove some of the stickers beforehand so there are fewer choices and distractions.
