About The I.D.E.A. Store

We are Central Illinois’ Premier Eco-Edu-Art Creative Reuse Marketplace, wait – what?

At The I.D.E.A. Store, we’re passionate about finding fun, functional and creative reuse for the materials we often take for granted.  With a massive and ever-changing inventory of donated materials, projects of all sizes have never been as easy or Earth-friendly.  We’re a store, a community, a donation center – we are a marketplace of items and ideas!

Our store supplies everyone – teachers, artists, crafters, students, program directors, community groups, churches, homeschoolers, and the curious with quality, safe reusable materials for artistic creations, the classroom, experimenting and more.  We are your marketplace.  Shop, share, donate, and consign your creations in a fun and educational way.
