Show and Tell Letter Y [50 Ideas!]

Today I’m continuing on with my series of show and tell posts with my 50 Show and Tell Letter Y ideas. This one is a little trick but hopefully this list helps you come up with something together with your preschooler! As a teacher and mom I have loads of show and tell experience that I want to share with you all.

Beyond just giving you letter Y show and tell ideas I wanted to be sure to mention a few show and tell tips that apply for every letter.

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).

Beyond just giving you letter y show and tell ideas I wanted to be sure to mention a few show and tell tips that apply for every letter.

Show and Tell Tips from a Teacher and Mom

• 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 for Y show and tell 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!
