Looking for an odd printing surface

One of my friends would like me to make some prints for his daughter. Sounds easy enough :jump:

Here's the rub. He has these peelable stickers with cartoon-like insects on it, and would like something similar for what I print. These are the requirements:

- Cheap. His daughter is 2, and it is very unlikely that it will make it a year, much less 20 years.

- Printable. I am using an Epson 4000, the ultrachrome pigment inks, so it has to be able to go through that printer.

- Peelable, and not damaging to walls. It is for a 2 year old.

- Reasonably good color. I'd like green frogs to stay green, but I am happy with a cartoony green. I'll probably make some blue and orange frogs as well, but I'd prefer that to be by choice.

Any suggestions?

I know it's not lofty but Avery puts out Sticker paper and decal "paper" for ink jet printers. The sticker paper is 81/2 x 11 size sheets and so is the decal "paper". Check Staples or MicroCenter or another place that sells computers and supplies.

If it doesn't damage the walls and is peelable, that would be along the lines I am looking for. Thanks.
