Show and Tell Letter E might seem like a tough one, but once you start brainstorming, there are actually a lot of fun options! Over the years, my boys have taken eggshells, elephants, erasers, and even envelopes to share with their class. It’s always a little unpredictable what they’ll choose, but that’s part of the fun! I try to keep my eyes open for easy “E” items around the house—it really helps when you’re in a time crunch. From educational toys to silly little objects, kids love picking something that feels special to them.

FAQs
What if my child is shy or nervous?
Don’t worry, your teacher will help make them feel comfortable. It’s supposed to be a low-pressure activity and kids can participate at their own pace!
How long should the presentation be?
Around 3-5 minutes per child is typical, based on their age and personality.
Can we bring pets or live animals?
Unfortunately, most teachers do not allow pets or live animals for safety reasons. But kids can bring stuffed animal toys if they’d like.
What if we can’t find many objects starting with E?
No problem at all! Any objects related to the letter E theme are great, even if they don’t strictly start with E. You may also like to check out Show and Tell Letter A or Show and Tell Letter B for more ideas instead! Or, you can even bring Letter E coloring pages to pass out!
Is it okay to bring electronic devices or toys?
We recommend leaving those at home to avoid distractions. But kids can showcase any non-electronic E-themed toys they have.
Final Thoughts on Show and Tell Letter E
