The other day when we had an unexpected morning free it seemed just the thing to try- we had all the materials on hand and we could make it last as long or as short as we liked.
The basic idea is to tape contact paper onto a table, sticky side up. Little G enjoyed the sensation of the stickiness even before we put anything on it. Couldn't keep her hands off of it!
I think maybe next time, we'll try taping it to the wall instead for a new perspective.

We did a sticky table - floor, actually - with pattern blocks (http://mamasmiles.com/giant-pattern-block-scenes/) and a sticky wall with pattern blocks and foam blocks (here: http://mamasmiles.com/sensory-wall-mosaic-art/) - so much fun!!!
Maryanne, your links aren't working for some reason :-(
Clear contact paper, paint, and dicut shapes. I did a pigs in the mud scene with brown paint, coffee grounds, and pink pig cut outs. The kids in my 1-2 yr old room loved it. When done I stuck it to a paper backing and was able to hang it up. They looked so neat!
Those links have a parenthesis at the end. Just delete that, so the link ends with a "/".
Thanks!
Kids could do it more easily than elders. Its really fun for them. I like the ideas of stick pom poms and googly eyes on the table. You should take care about the table cloth you are making available for them to have fun.
