Classroom and teaching supplies

Money tools for grades 1-3

Counting coins is a life skill that needs real-looking coins and bills. These products supply them, along with games for practice.

Products were taken from Lakeshore Learning's own category pages (checked Oct 2026), with prices and age labels read from the listing; prices are approximate and change with sales. Checked 2026-10-25. Nobody paid to be here. The buy links are plain search links, not affiliate links, so Peabody earns nothing from them.
