So I took Emma last weekend into Lakeshore Learning Store in Fountain Valley and the place is so awesome I had to write about it. In Orange County, Lakeshore Learning also has a store in Laguna Niguel. Have you guys been there before?? I was looking to buy her a little writing board and dry erase markers like they have at Whiz Kids and let me tell you, that was the place to go! Lots of items (including the board I was looking for) were 20% off since they were having a Back to School sale now through Sept. 5th. Score!
I seriously could have spent 3 hours going through the place. As a mega teacher’s supply store, there are toys, games, and activities for all ages and just the coolest finds.
I ended up with more than a writing board however!
We found a cute little birdhouse she can paint herself to put in our backyard, a Design-Your-Own Calendar to write in the dates that can be decorated, and stocked up on construction paper and paint. You know, things to keep us busy at home for the next 6 weeks until preschool starts up again.
Definitely worth the drive to check out this store in person. Great place for birthday gifts too. Tons of unique items you don’t see in the regular stores, and lots of fun educational stuff.
But take it from me, budget extra time for browsing!
Lakeshore also has free crafts for kids in the store on Saturday. They have different crafts each week, here’s the schedule:
