ShowAndTell.info exists to solve one very specific problem - the moment a parent realizes their child has show and tell tomorrow and has no idea what to bring.
Show and tell is a weekly routine in most preschool and kindergarten classrooms. Teachers assign a letter, children are supposed to bring something that starts with that letter, and parents are supposed to figure out what that something is - usually the night before, sometimes the morning of.
This site makes that easy. Every letter of the alphabet has a full list of practical, easy-to-find ideas organized by category. Toys, stuffed animals, food, household items, clothing. Things already in your home. No need to buy anything or get creative under pressure.
What You Will Find Here

A Note on the Content
Every item on this site was chosen because it is practical and realistic. No obscure words. No items that require a trip to a specialty store. The goal is always the same - something your child can find at home, feel good about, and talk about confidently in front of their class.
If you have a suggestion for an item we missed, or a letter that needs more ideas, we would love to hear it.
