How To:

1. peel off the edge of the contact paper and put a piece of painters tape to secure it to the wall

2. peel off the rest of the backing on the contact paper and secure the rest of the edges to the wall with painters tape

3. let your child rip tissue paper and stick it to the contact paper

4. OPTIONAL: you can cut your contact paper in a circle to make it the shape of an Earth
