Lakeshore Learning Store

This place I really like. You get products that teachers may have in the classroom. The products can be expensive, but they are definitely worth it.

I really like coming here to shop for my grandkids. I always feel good about getting them something fun that is also educational. Yes, the prices are more than your local discount store, but their selection is exceptional! Christmas time is a great time to check them out because there are a lot of money saving coupons in the mail.

All I have to say is .29 cents a foot for laminating compared to United Art & Educations $ 1 per foot charge. It’s DIY here but that is fine. Trust me. I know how to save those plastic rolls baby.
Yes Lakeshore stuff is expensive. If my school paidI me back for every purchase I would own serious stock in this shop. But hey. The games are great and for the most part some of the stuff is 20% off. I am glad we have one here in Indy. It definitely is the place to go for laminating if you’re an IPS teacher that works at a school whose laminating film always runs out :) Thanks Lakeshore

Lakeshore brand items are very expensive, even when they are on sale. They aren’t my favorite products because it seems like I could find or make similar items for much less. However, the store is easy to navigate and the staff is super duper helpful and friendly. While a small store, they have a lot packed in there but it’s still well organized. They don’t have as much décor/​bulletin board set items as their competitor store as they focus more on active play/​art/​math/​language/​science kits and manipulative sets. I am always able to find fun art supply items here that I can’t find at other places. They do have a unique selection of games and such but they are just way out of my price range. Luckily, I am allotted some of the school systems tax exempt dollars to spend here so I can get a few new and engaging items for my classroom each year. Be sure to sign up for the Teacher’s Club! You get a free tote bag when you sign up in store and fairly decent coupons through email. A nice shop but not one that I frequent.
