Hi Heather, this activity was posted by Belinda in the UK. It probably has a different name in Canada - perhaps you would know this as: contact paper, self-adhesive plastic sheets, or black sticky vinyl It is the sort of thing you could cover books with. According to google:
Sticky backed plastic is a self-adhesive plastic sheet, known in the United Kingdom as sticky-backed plastic, is wide plastic sheet or film with an adhesive layer on one side, used as a surface coating for decorative purposes. ... The plastic is often PVC.
I would like to thank you all for everything you've done to help people like us, giving us the new ideas and confidence to carry on doing what we do. As you must be aware it's not the easiest job in the world, especially trying to get a smile out of someone. I wish you all the possible good wishes for the future and do hope you will continue for many years to come.
