Where PLAY and LEARNING collide!
Launching Success saved my life. They were the only store close to Idaho with a very specific pen I needed after I accidentally put my girlfriend’s pen in the washer. They immediately shipped the pen out when I bought it and now I no longer have to sleep on the couch and eat leftovers. Thank you Launching Success!

We absolutely love this shop. The new location is conveniently located and has easy parking. I'm really liking the new space, it's large and well organized, super clean, and the employees are friendly and helpful. My younger daughter always makes the climb into the upstairs playhouse so she can observe the whole store. I'm over 40 years old and usually end up finding something cool for myself as well. They've got a great selection of all the stuff we like (Thinking Putty, Legos, puzzles and fidget toys). There's a cool demo area too where you can try out lots of the newest toys and games. I'm happy to have this gem of a toy store here in Bellingham.

A wonderful source for parents helping their children advance at home in whatever capacity it is. A great place for gifts 🎁. Oh there is a birthday basket parents can get set up a month ahead of their child's birthday 🎂 and the parent can put things in it the child needs or wants and then the parent can inform family members of the basket. All family would have to do is call in and do an over the phone purchase! How simple is that! Then the kid gets a gift wrapped gift from ppl far away or who just didn't know what to get and at no additional charge!!! Love this idea 💡!!! The new location has a cute tree house play area above the door just up the stairs. The back hallway has colorpages your child can do and return . Or free stuff back there. Also a chalk board in the back for doodles. They have lovely boardgames as well!! You got to check this place out!

I was disheartened that there were two separate families completely without masks in the store today. The employees never asked them to put then on. It is a large space but other unmasked children were reaching over mine on multiple occasions. One of my kids is immune compromised and I had to put him in the car to safely checkout because the unmasked family wasn't giving us any space in the line. This is no longer a safe place for my family.

This would have been a 5 star review because the store was AMAZING one of the best kid stores I’ve been in honestly! I was just personally disappointed to find that myself and my kids were the only customers in masks (besides the woman working there). I think that perhaps adding a sign at the door indicating that masks are required in indoor spaces would perhaps help encourage mask wearing as it is a KIDS educational store and we cannot yet vaccinate some of our kiddos!

I had so much fun today at this place with my kiddo! We went in for fidgets and the selection is awesome and I found two things that even I loved that are for me! I highly recommend this place from parents to teachers to therapists this is the place to go. I would have given a 5 but for the prices being high I went with a solid 4.9 out of 5 stars because I love it there and if I wasn’t on such a tight budget I would and could easily spend all my money there haha! Go there, Young and Old there is something for all to love and a great blast from the last with the selections of learning tools and toys from my childhood in there! I will definitely be back! Jennifer is who kindly and generously checked us out at the register and was very friendly and happy to be there! Thank you 🙏 and God bless y’all!

Always helpful, the staff is primed to assist with finding just what you need. Solid selection of classroom visual and organizational materials. Prepackaged and loose manipulatives for math and science serve the needs of the homeschooling parent as well as the teacher of 25 or 30. A variety of curricula in language arts is offered. For what this store can provide, including on line ordering, it shops like a much larger competitor.

A small, but well-stocked teachers' store with a wide variety of items for "decorating" classrooms and a broad range of aspirational and subject-related posters. The store has many educational games, math manipulatives, and other things to help students master different parts of the curriculum. As is true for nearly all educational stores, Launching Success is almost exclusively oriented toward the elementary grades.
The staff is helpful and was able to answer any questions I asked about the suitability of certain items for addressing particular needs of students.
I just wish they were larger and had more material for middle and high school classes.

Everything about this place is great. Pretty much any teaching tool you could ask for can be found here. Every time I come here I find something innovative and fun. You can try out most of the items before you buy them, even board games! So my kids get playing with things and never want to leave. My only complaints are how early they close in the evenings and that the prices can be very high.

This store is super awesome (and adorable)! We stopped in one day when we were needing some printable transparency sheets, which no one carries by the sheet! We looked hi and lo in this city. Anyways. Launching Success doesn't carry individual sheets either, BUT the gals behind the counter were so helpful, they actually had some on hand in the back that they never use for their own office supplies and sold us a few copies.
For anyone that has never been to this store, I actually highly recommend it for silly things such as needing a weird size hole punch or for fun stocking stuffers (not kidding) they have some really unique things that remind me of going into Claires back in the 90s.
I keep begging my fiance to go back here over and over because I love this little store!
(also I have found that you can buy transparencies in smaller amounts from Stampadoodle on Grant St, not that that is related to this store)

Working in a College setting, this is such a great store!
My Wife and i spent several hours just walking around the store looking at everything they carried.
very helpful employees were very able to help us find a few things, and made sure to tell us to play with the displays they had available.
