Lakeshore Learning

New Products Now in Stores

By #spon September 9, 2013
We already know that Lakeshore Learning is the spot in Charlotte for fun free activities on Saturdays, great educational materials and so much more. Now Lakeshore Learning also has great educational products for home! We were sent some of the new products to check out and were not disappointed! 

My boys were sent the Spy Science Kit and my daughter was sent the Arts and Crafts Supply Center to check out. 



Spy Science Kit: Double thumbs up from all three of my kids! This kit is so much fun, they didn't even know they were learning! The Spy Science Kit teaches the science behind fingerprints, writing secret codes and so much more! Packed with fun equipment like rear-view glasses, a fingerprint kit, Morse code and so much more, if you have a kiddo who loves to play secret agent this is a great gift for them! The Spy Science Kit retails for $49.99. Like the Arts and Crafts Supply Center, the Spy Science Kit offers open play, my kids have come up incredible story lines and are always running around the house playing spy's. I love the creativity that is inspired in them. 






Arts and Crafts Supply Center: If you're looking for something that is going to keep your kids busy for hours, this is it! My daughter disappears to our bonus room and creates, creates, creates. This art center is packed with everything your kiddos need. Glitter glue, glitter pipe cleaners, beads, ribbon, markers, string, glue, buttons, pom poms, wiggly eyes and so much more. I love how everything is contained and the drawers are easy to refill when they use up an item (which will take them a long time to do, this kit is packed!) I also love that the play is open ended, there are no suggested projects, no pictures, no directions. This product is truly geared to the child using their own creativity and looking at the items and putting them together how they want. Amen to that! While my daughter who is 5, tends to spend the most time with the art center, my big boys are just as happy to sit and create with her and love it, to be honest, I think they use her as an excuse to play with it! The Arts and Crafts Supply Center retails for $49.99.
