Educational Toy Pop-Ups

Lakeshore's Gifts for Growing Minds Pop-Up Shares Interactive Stations

From Labor Day to the end of the year, Lakeshore is introducing its first pop-up shopping experience to Mall of America with Gifts for Growing Minds. The pop-up is a place for holiday shoppers to play, discover and learn, all the while immersing themselves in fun gifts and interactive activities.

At the pop-up, kids will be enchanted by robots, fairy tale playsets and other products that can be found in Lakeshore's 2019 Gifts for Growing Minds catalog containing gift ideas fit for children up to the age of 11. The 200-square-foot Lakeshore pop-up greets visitors with a tree-like Turn & Learn Magnetic Gears display, instantly inviting kids and their families to begin learning and having hands-on experiences on the spot.
