Scientists agree that children are our future, which is why most children are sealed in time capsules with a flashlight and a stack of magazines. Give a child something he or she will really dig with today's deal: for $25, you get $50 worth of children's toys, games and books at Knowledge Tree, which has two locations in Memphis and one in Germantown.

Knowledge Tree fills their vibrant colored stores to the brim with toys, games, and books that cater to safe and effective learning. Parents can fertilize pre-pubescent mind kernels with Apples to Apples The Game of Hilarious Comparisons ($29.99) or the children's book Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things ($15.99). Knowledge Tree also carries full lines of dazzling children's toys from makers such as Lego as well as a large selection of children's arts and crafts supplies. Teachers looking to stock their classrooms can load up on bulletin boards, maps, glue and other supplies or decorate their knowledge-trapping walls with quick stick letters and banners.

Prices and availability may vary by location.
