Kids, like Ponce de León, need constant supervision while exploring, or they’ll simply vanish into a jungle in search of eternal youth. Keep an eye on kids by keeping them busy in one place with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of arts, crafts, school supplies, and more at The Classmate LTD. in Evergreen Park. This Groupon is valid in-store only, but all products seen in the online catalog can be ordered by the vendor for in-store pickup.

The Classmate gives teachers and students of all ages scores of educational and school materials to enhance the learning process. Discerning didacticals can take a microscope to The Classmate’s wide selection of arts and crafts materials, books, classroom equipment, games, and more.

Math in a Flash Bingo subtracts stress from subtraction ($9.99), and a health, hygiene, and good manners bulletin-board set adds "general understanding of Western culture" to students’ future resumes ($11.99). Classic children’s books—such as Clifford the Big Red Dog ($3.99) and Just Farr Fun by Jamie Farr—along with a Curious George Rides a Bike book and CD set ($10.99), massage the minds of young scholars, and an artist’s smock gives fledgling painters the gift of inconsequential splattering ($9.99). The Classmate’s teacher resources provide pedagogal patrons with curriculum blueprints, and its special-needs section assures aid for students of all levels.
