teaching supplies

Where an I get preschool teaching supplies? I'm looking for things like
alphabet chart, world map, alphabet/number blocks etc. I prefer a shop
I can visit locally (not on web). Are there stores/chains that carry
these kinds of teaching material?

You can also find some of these things (probably not the blocks,
though ;-) at places like Staples or Office Depot.

Over here, good-quality toy shops sell those things. Our post offices sell
world/Australian maps and educational charts.

i've found some of those things in the stationary dept. at places like

Yes there are. In my area they are listed under "School Supplies" in
the yellow pages. If you can't find them that way, you can always
call up your local elementary school and ask. The teachers there are
sure to know.

wal-mart/kmart/target. book stores also carry such things, the big chain
book stores are more likely than local mom and pops. teacher supply stores
are also handy, check your yellow pages for that.
