How do you get kids NOT to pull these off????

I have a few things on the walls out of kids reach but I know for charts and stuff you are supposed to put them at their eye level. I have a few cubbies coming out into the room and thought it would be cute to put some charts on the back since it is visible. How do you get them to not pull them off or pick at them?? My kids are young - infant up to 3ish.

I cover the poster with contact paper or get it laminated at my local school supply store then I tape it around all four sides with packing tape. By doing this the kids have no wear to pick at and peel off.

seriously, I wonder how many kids acually pay attention to things at eye level I started putting things up higher and I find that kids look up more than at eyelevel.

I use contact paper too. Works great and doesn't hurt the walls. Does the tape come off the walls without pulling off paint too?
