Today I’m continuing on with my series of show and tell posts with my Show and Tell Letter Y ideas.
If you have a preschooler who does letter of the week show and tell then you’ll probably find this post helpful as some of the weeks are harder than others. If you’re one of my readers who reads mostly for sewing or crafts don’t worry. I promise over the next few weeks that I will be mixing in regular posts with these as I work my way through the alphabet (backwards).
General Show and Tell Tips:
- Look through your kid’s stuffed animals and action figures. Sometimes you can find a character whose name starts with the letter that you need.
- Look through your child’s books. You might find a book with a title that begins with the letter that you need
- When all else fails have your kiddo take in an alphabet block with the letter on it or a an alphabet letter magnet.
- My son once took in a picture that he colored from a coloring book. The picture was of something that started with the letter of the week and he loved showing off his artwork during share time.
And this won’t help you think of anything but this last tip will help keep you out of a bind-
My #1 Show and Tell Tip
Set a reminder on your phone for the night before show and tell.
That way you won’t forget and scramble to find something in your car while you wait in the drop off line for school. Yes, yes that did happen to me. Don’t be me. You’re better than that!
Show and Tell Letter Y Ideas:
- yak
- yo-yo
- yarn
- year book (your kids will love looking at old pictures of you!)
- yoga related items (yoga mat, yoga DVD, etc)
- Yogi Bear
- yogurt (check your kid’s play food set for this or send in an empty, cleaned yogurt cup)
- yam (same thing, check the play food for this one)
- yard stick
- yacht
- Yoshi
- Yankees (anything related to Yankees baseball… cap, baseball card, etc.)
- Yukon Cornelius (from Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer)
If you are looking for another letter then I have a whole post full of ideas for each letter of the alphabet.

Thank you! I just started writing about it because I know as a busy parent sometimes it can be challenging thinking of something for your kiddo to bring so I hope it helps 🙂
