Shopping resource for parents with young children

Post by _Jersey Girl »

I just got done placing an order and thought I'd like to share this teacher resource. I've used this company for decades. You do NOT have to be a teacher to shop here. Simply create an account as a home school--because parents are their child's first teacher. See how that works?

Watch the sales and promotions. I do NOT recommend every darn thing in the catalog. I use it primarily for art supplies though I just picked up a pair of chunky binoculars and I know they'll last a good long while as will most everything you see here. It's meant to hold up to dozens of preschoolers handling it for years. Anyway...check out the consumable art supplies.

https://www.discountschoolsupply.com/?d ... rand%20(tt)&utm_term=discount%20school%20supply&utm_content=*DSS:%20Phrase

There is also Lakeshore Learning and other supply houses. I prefer Discount above because it's reliable, has quality merch and it's far more cost effective than most.

Enjoy!

(I might add to this thread with more ideas. Oh, of course I will. Who am I kidding? )

Hello,

I'm new here, but just couldn't miss the chance to stop by here and comment on these resources. I used to order books for my grand kids from Lakeshore Learning, but then the site loading time just made me freak out and I just deleted it from my bookmarks and completely forgot about it (till now :biggrin: ).
But I've never heard of DiscountSchoolSupply.
What is the average time of the delivery?

Thanks,
Terry

Lakeshore isn't the only game in town. There are multiple classroom resource supply houses that sell comparable equipment at far lower rates and some that are even higher than Lakeshore--Community Play Things for example.

Delivery for Discount, I'd say less than 5 business days.

Ask me anything you like. I'm happy to help out.

If you need books or ideas for young children, I'm probably your guy.
