Spanish term or phrase: calcomanía
"Las recompensas materiales incluyen dinero, juguetes y calcomanías. Estos también pueden ser utilizados para apoyar el buen comportamiento pero tienen algunas desventajas."
(Está en un Manual de Cuido de Niños Familiar. "Stickers?" ¿Es regionalismo? Me suena raro.)

Explanation:
This is definitely stickers. As a mother of two and having read lots of child care books, rewarding kids with stickers for good behavior on a sticker chart is always highly recommended. Calcomania literally means transfers but in this case is referring to stickers.

agree  María Andrea Cáceres Sarmiento: The first word that comes to my mind when I read your sentence is "stickers". So I agree with Tracey. I don't think "calcomanía" is a regionalism (but I´m not sure) and it's quite a common word in Spanish.
