86 letter K show and tell ideas for preschool: things that start with K, toys and household items, each marked by sound. Plus what your child can say.
Looking for show and tell letter K ideas? K is a friendly letter once you start looking: a key, a kite, a kiwi from the fruit bowl. This list of things that start with K is sorted so you can find something your preschooler already owns, and each idea is marked by the sound it makes. Pick one, practice two short sentences, and show and tell (or show and share) is ready.
K says /k/, as in kite and key. When K sits in front of N the K is silent, so knee pads, a knot and a knight toy start with K on paper but say /n/. They are marked on the list, in case the class is practicing the sound.

Three short sentences are enough for a three to five year old. Practice once at home with the item in hand.
For a child who loves an audience: hide the item in a bag and give three clues. "It has a long string. It flies in the sky. It starts with K." The class guesses before the reveal.
A key, a kite, a kiwi, a ketchup packet, a pack of Kleenex and a stuffed kitten, kangaroo or koala are the easiest picks. Each one says /k/, the sound the class is learning.
A kite, a kazoo, a kaleidoscope, a kickball, Kinetic sand and K'nex start with K. For characters, try Kermit the Frog, Kristoff from Frozen or a Ken doll.
Look for a key, a keychain, a kitchen timer, a kitchen towel, a kettle or an old keyboard. In the kitchen you may find ketchup, a kiwi, kidney beans or popcorn kernels.
Key, kite, king, kiwi, kitten and koala are short words a three to five year old can say clearly. Each one starts with a strong /k/ sound.
K says /k/, as in kite, key and kangaroo. In front of N the K is silent, as in knee, knot and knight.
It starts with K, so most teachers accept knee pads, a knot or a knit hat. If the class is practicing the /k/ sound, a key or a kite is the safer choice.
