Adventures in Learning

May 20th, 2010

As I am preparing to home school my children I have been in search of stores that provide the right tools for my children to get a proper education. Adventures in learning in Tyler Texas is not about getting text book and curriculum, this store has everything you need to make education fun.

I use to be a teacher at a pretty large daycare and I would always come to Adventures in learning to decorate my classroom. You can get great posters and educational wall decorations. It was always so fun to see the children’s faces when I would redecorate the classroom. I could find stuff for every lesson I would want to teach them. They have great stuff no matter what ages you teach.

After I had quit working at the daycare I started to have children. While my children are young I go there to get the most educational toys. They have fun going to the store with me to pick out a project to work on at home. The store has many different projects that you can take home and do with your children. You can build train tracks or doll houses.

My daughter’s favorite section of the store is the puppets. The store has all different puppets, large, small, animals, and people. Puppets are a fun why to tell your children stories and teach them lessons. My daughter loves to play with the puppets and make funny voices.

Adventures in Learning is a great place to start when you about to begin teaching. But it is also a great store to find toys, and projects for you and your family to enjoy together.

If you are a home-schooler or wanting to give your child a head start or leg up with their education, then oh my goodness, this store is for you!

Located in the French Quarter, across from Tyler Mall, you will find Adventures in Learning. The store front suggests nothing unusual, I have passed it several occasions and just assumed it sold a few educational games and some nice Melissa and Doug puzzles, but when you enter, you will see that it is a treasure trove of educational products. The store goes back and back and it is stocked with fabulous books, games, puzzles, and teaching materials of every kind. There are puppets, musical instruments, science kits, manipulatives for hands on learning, classroom décor, sports equipment and a host of teacher aids and classroom supplies. They have a seasonal section and even have a Christian education department, which could be helpful for Sunday school or VBS supplies.

Now I know why I mustn’t home school my kids – I would be so tempted by all the stuff in this shop that my weekly shopping budget would be gone in a whisker! Seriously, though, this shop stocks everything you would need to teach – except for the kids themselves. Everything is well laid out and clearly marked and the staff are very helpful. If you are a bit overwhelmed when you walk in, like I was, they will provide you with a catalog containing all the learning materials they stock or can get hold of for you. They also have a website www.adventuresinlearning-tx.com

One other thing – they can supply large items like furniture, overhead projectors, lockers and so on.

I was very impressed with this store and it’s contents.  I have to say that it is quite pricey, but if you had to order these products online you would have to pay additional shipping charges, so perhaps it works out. If you are intending to invest in your child’s education then Adventures in Learning is a great place to visit with your credit card.
