Coming up with Show and Tell Letter C ideas shouldn’t be a last-minute panic—but let’s be real, it usually is! With three little boys, our mornings are often a mix of cereal, crayons, and chaos. Over the years, I’ve learned to keep a short list of easy “C” items on hand. From cars to coins to cookie cutters, there are so many everyday things that can work in a pinch!
I pulled these “C” ideas from my go-to alphabet Show and Tell list that has something for every letter.
Sometimes I even ask my kids what they’d bring if they could pick anything—and they always surprise me! You’ll find ideas here that are cute, classic, and classroom-friendly. Let’s make tomorrow morning feel just a little more organized. Ready to check “Show and Tell” off your mental load?
