Looking for Show and Tell Letter L help? I’ve got you! My boys have brought leaves, ladybugs, LEGOs, and lions (stuffed, of course!) over the years, and it always ends in laughs. “L” has so many possibilities, whether you want to go natural, silly, or sweet. I usually let them rummage through their room while I throw out a few ideas, and something always clicks.
This list pulls from my master Show and Tell A to Z collection that we’ve been using for years—it really helps simplify things!
You’ll find a good mix here—things you probably already have, and a few clever ideas for fun extras. Whether they’re into animals, toys, or art, there’s something on this list they’ll be excited to share. And if your morning is chaotic like mine, there are also grab-and-go suggestions too. Let’s make “L” less last-minute and more fun!
