Show-N-Tell Ideas for Letters of the Week

I've searched everywhere for a list of show-n-tell ideas. I really have needed a list for each letter of the alphabet because each Thursday at Anna Claire's daycare, children are asked to bring in an item that starts with their letter of the week.

I totally believe in this in want to support teachers. It helps makes phonics and learning letters real for kids and gives us a talking point at home every Wednesday night and Thursday on the way to school.

Most weeks, it's fun and easy, but sometimes I get stuck and struggle thinking of something appropriate for school that Anna Claire would also enjoy sharing.

Since I haven't been able to find a list, I decided to make one so I can refer back to it later. Maybe it will even help someone else. ;)
