There’s something really fun about Show and Tell Letter R! My boys have brought in rocks, robots, race cars, rulers, and even a rubber ducky—that one got some big laughs from the class. “R” has so many easy possibilities that are already lying around the house!

This list pulls from ideas I’ve saved over time on my full Show and Tell A to Z page—it’s the first place I check every week.

I usually ask my kids what they think of first and we build from there. It’s always better when they’re excited about the item, even if it’s something totally random. This list includes items that are silly, smart, and simple—because that’s what I’m always looking for too. Whether you plan ahead or grab something last minute, you’ll find a great pick here. Let’s make this week’s Show and Tell feel fun and doable!
