Can these be stuck to plain drywall (kitchen backsplash) or only on top of ceramic tiles?

Due to thickness of product, it's best suitable for non-porous smooth surfaces. Drywall is mostly porous and it's not recommended due to mixed results. Some glossy-type drywall may perform better.

They can be stuck to plain dry wall, BUT the manufacturer does not recommend applying to porous surfaces as it may pull the dry wall apart when removing. It is BEST when applied to a smooth, non-porous surface like tile, plexi-glass, glass, mirror, metal, etc.

This will work on your backsplash. You will want to use a bead of chalk, or adhesive (Liquid Nails) along the inside corner of the counter and backsplash to help keep them tight in the corner. If the underside of your counter is that rough particle board, you will want to use Liquid Nails or something like that. If the underside is smooth, you shouldn't need any adhesive.

The work best on smooth walls. They might stick, but they probably won't stick very well.

I see no reason these won't stick on a ceiling as long as the surface is smooth. But forget about ever removing them gracefully.

They have adhesive on back, they come off of glass fairly easy. Wall may be different story, maybe if you just use a little pressure and not press them on tight, you may be OK. Hope this helps.

I'd imagine as long as there is enough surface area for it to stick to it'd be fine. I used them to hang ceramic tiles and it has worked great. They've been hanging on the wall for over 5 months now without any problem at all. J

We used them to light tile steps. Did not try to stick down, only laid on their side so do not have a good answer on that. Could possibly use double stick tape or velcro strips.

Yes, although it's not the best use of the design. They work well in the stack mode and interlock, when set on their side they can move if jarred.To aid in title selection I use tags ( on the end on the box) to catalog the tiles and rating then stack on the self in my library. They should work either way, enjoy.

My fellow mosaic artists and I use them for ceramic tiles. Have not tried other materials.

I would not say that. You can stick them on any flat surface but they are very thin. You could insulate and cover your insulation (without having to worry about covering the lines in between sheet rock as long as it's mostly flattened out,) then apply, but they are mostly just decorative.

Yes. Once the tiles are smooth and flat. I put these on and they never came off. Make sure you turn the outer piece until it clicks.

I don't know about a tiled floor, but they do stick to walls and wood floors.

I have these and I have them on my 4" ceramic tiles and they stick like gorilla glue! Once you lift up on the levers, it'll be easy to remove and move with you if you move but mine are stuck there tight as long as I leave the levers down. I would say it'll be perfect for your son!

Sorry Tyson...I'm not sure if these will work with plastered walls. We have drywalls.

They can be mounted to drywall. I would make sure that you use butterfly drywall anchors though and not the simple blue ones. You want a good grip and the drywall will be able to hold the weight. Studs would be better, but if not possible, you should be fine with this.

These have a very aggressive adhesive and will adhere to uneven surfaces. They need to be non porous like plastic or steel. They will adhere to bricks but not advisable.

Only if the boards are very flat & smooth and are suitable for wallpaper--the wood would need to be "sized" prior to application. If you could attach 1/2" sheetrock onto the boards, you would have a suitable surface, otherwise I would discourage it.
