I used to dread Show and Tell Letter V—until I realized how many cute and easy options actually start with “V”! My kids have brought vehicles, valentines, vases, and even vegetables like a zucchini from the fridge. “V” is one of those letters that sounds tricky but ends up being fun once you get going. I’ve found it helps to start with categories (like toys, food, or art supplies) and go from there!
This post is based on ideas from my full Show and Tell by letter collection that we’ve used every single school year!
Even something super simple like a violet crayon has worked for us. This list includes realistic ideas that won’t stress you out and will get your child excited. Whether they’re outgoing or shy, there’s a great option here for everyone. Let’s make “V” feel like a total win!

FAQs
What if a child doesn’t have a “V” item to bring?
Teachers should keep a few inexpensive “V” items on hand as backups, like a vase, visor, or vacuum part. Let kids pick one if they forgot their item! The goal is involvement, not stressing over having the perfect object. You can also bring Bring Letter V Coloring Pages and Bubble Letters to your class!
Is there a recommended age range for Show and Tell for letter V?
This activity works best for pre-K through 2nd grade, when kids are learning letter sounds and building vocabulary. Older kids may find it too basic unless you adapt it, like having a theme beyond just the letter “V”.
Can this activity be adapted for children with special needs?
Absolutely. Non-verbal children can hold up or point to their “V” item. Kids with fine motor challenges can describe something starting with “V” instead of bringing an object. Adjust the format to enable all children to participate meaningfully!
