Lakeshore Learning Store is such a great place for parents and educators alike. They have everything that my child's teacher recommends for his development. I have bought all sorts of things there, including "manipulatives" (to increase hand strength and coordination), CDs, a nap mat. The downside is you can really go broke there. They have a discount for teachers but I don't qualify, unfortunately! They have art activities for the kids once in a while. It's great fun to go and look around.
