Dollar Tree
My favorite place to shop for books on all kinds of subjects for my children but also for me.

Another great place for books! My kids learn a lot better when they read on their own, I love these book stores there's so many options and categories.
Barnes & Noble
Affordable supplies! Let me tell you, stock up on markers, glue and paper of all kinds if you have a crafty child like me.

There's no better place to shop for books and other things to learn with. We especially love their Magic School Bus boxes. So far we have done the Dinosaur, magnets, crystals, and electricity.
