Show and Tell Letter W has brought some of the cutest items into our home! My boys have shared wallets, wands, washcloths, whales (toy ones), and water bottles decorated with stickers. There’s something about “W” that’s just fun. I usually give them a few ideas and then let them decide what they feel most excited to share. We’ve had mornings where we totally forgot and ended up tossing a wooden spoon into the backpack—and honestly, it worked great!
When I need a quick refresher, I always go back to my Show and Tell A to Z list that’s helped me get through every letter.
Whether your child wants something silly, practical, or creative, this list will help spark the perfect idea. There’s no pressure to go big—just let them own it. Let’s make W-day feel like a win for everyone!
