Fine, I'll admit it: I'm in love with Lakeshore Learning…read more I was first tipped off about this place by one of my baby's (okay, so she's two...not exactly a baby but whatever ;) therapists and to say it was love at first sight...that wouldn't come close to cutting it. I'm a mom of four (5, 4, 4, and 2) and my youngest three have developmental delays from mild to severe. While my husband and I have come up with some amazingly engaging/proactive activities for the kids thus far, we're always on the hunt for more, for better, for That One Item/Activity/Etc. We've Been Missing. Lakeshore Learning--much to the chagrin of my Visa card--has yet to disappoint. It's by no means exclusively a store for teachers; it's by no means exclusively a store for special needs parents. Sure, sensory items and activities abound...block play, active play, puzzles, and manipulatives in abundance--but this is just the tip of the iceberg. If you don't want to make the trip (although I don't know why you wouldn't!), hit up the website and request a catalog. It is huge, glossy, and enticing. Also? Lakeshore Learning offers up a pretty sweet check in deal for the mobile Yelping crowd. As *if* you needed more incentive to stop in, right? Riiiiiiight. :)

It's a bit of a drive for me since I'm in schaumburg but I'm happy to make it. If it were any closer, I'd be spending all of my money there :)

They have these little animals that she'd played with elsewhere and likes a lot. What I liked most here, though, is the art supplies they carry. I bought a roll of white paper for her to color and play on, as well as some foamy "paint" that she can play with outside.

I explore as many bookstores as possible and was delighted to find 2 books about Chicago by local authors that I never found before. They also have unusually sturdy and very well made totes and tee shirts with images from Beverly on them. Perfect for gifts as well as use by myself for heavy items. This was my first time in the bookstore but it was distinctive enough of a bookstore with a very friendly and welcoming staff that I plan to come back soon. Note: they have well priced used books as well as new.
