Show and Tell Letter Z means you’ve made it to the very end of the alphabet—yay!! My kids have brought zippers, zebras, zucchini, and even little zombie toys (yes, that was a big hit). “Z” can feel tricky at first, but there are actually a lot of great options once you start looking!
To wrap things up, I used our final ideas from my full Show and Tell A to Z collection—it’s been our school-year lifesaver.
We like to turn it into a little celebration—it’s the last one, after all! I always let them choose something that makes them laugh or smile, even if it’s totally random. From snacks to silly toys, this list has realistic picks that won’t cause morning chaos. Whether you’re a last-minute packer or a plan-ahead mom, you’ll find something here. Let’s finish strong with the letter Z!
