I always get excited about Show and Tell Letter P because it’s packed with fun possibilities! My boys have brought puzzles, puppies (stuffed ones!), pencils, pennies, and even pickles—which got a big laugh at preschool. “P” is one of those letters where you can get super creative or keep it super simple. I try to keep it flexible and let my kids feel in control of the choice!
