Plus what your child can say. [Kindergarten Prep Team](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/author/kindergarten-prep-team) Oct 3, 2026 --- Looking for show and tell letter X ideas? X is the letter that sends parents searching the night before, because very few things start with X. The good news: plenty of toys and household items your preschooler already owns have an X in them, and those say the sound X usually makes. Pick one below, practice two sentences, and show and tell (or show and share, as some classrooms call it) is ready. X usually says **/ks/**, as in bo**x** and fo**x**. Almost no English word starts with that sound, so most teachers are happy with an item that has X anywhere in the word. If you are unsure, a quick note to the teacher settles it. ## 10 easy letter X show and tell ideas to grab right now 1. **A small box with a surprise inside**/ks/Any box works. The class guesses what is inside.*What to say:* This is my box. Box ends with X. Listen: bo-ks. Can you guess what is inside? 2. **Stuffed fox**/ks/Or any small fox figure.*What to say:* This is my fox. Fox has an X at the end. Fo-ks. Foxes have bushy tails. 3. **Toy xylophone**/z/The classic.

Practice once at home with the item in hand. 1. **Name it.** "This is my fox." 2. **Say the letter.** "Fox has an X at the end. Fo-ks." 3. **Tell one thing.** "Foxes have bushy tails." **For a child who loves an audience:** hide the item in a bag and give three clues. "It is orange. It lives in the forest. It ends with X." The class guesses before the reveal. ## Letter X show and tell for toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarten Toddlers (2 to 3) One familiar thing to hold up and name is plenty: a box, a stuffed fox, a toy xylophone. "This is my fox." Preschoolers (3 to 5) Name the item and point out the letter: "Fox has an X at the end." Most ideas on this page are written for this age. Kindergarten Add the sound and one fact: "X says /ks/. Fo-ks. Foxes sleep in dens." Items that say /ks/ fit best here. ## Printable letter X pictures for show and tell Nothing at home that fits?

Xylophone, X-ray, X-ray fish, Xbox controller, an X-Men figure, and a letter X magnet or block. Because so few things start with X, most teachers also accept items that end in X, such as a box, a fox or the number six. ### What toy starts with the letter X? A toy xylophone, an Xbox controller and X-Men figures start with X. Toys with an X in the name include a stuffed fox, a T. rex, a toy taxi, a Matchbox car and a jack-in-the-box. ### What starts with X in your house? Very little starts with X, but many household items have an X in them: a box, a lunchbox, a wax crayon, wax paper, a pack of Kleenex, an index card, pancake mix and Chex cereal. ### Can my child bring something that ends with X? In most classrooms, yes. Box, fox, six and wax say /ks/, which is the sound X usually makes, so they match what the class is learning. If the teacher's note says the item has to start with X, choose a xylophone, an X-ray picture or a letter X block. ### What are easy X words for preschool show and tell? Box, fox, six, wax, mix, ox, taxi and T. rex are short words a three to five year old can say clearly, and each one has an item to go with it. ### What sound does the letter X make? X usually says /ks/, as in box, fox and six. At the start of a few words it says /z/, as in xylophone. In X-ray you hear the letter name, "ex". ## Show and tell ideas for every letter [← Last week: letter W](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-w)[Next week: letter Y →](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-y) - [A](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-a) - [B](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-b) - [C](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-c) - [D](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-d) - [E](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-e) - [F](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-f) - [G](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-g) - [H](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-h) - [I](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-i) - [J](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-j) - [K](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-k) - [L](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-l) - [M](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-m) - [N](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-n) - [O](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-o) - [P](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-p) - [Q](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-q) - [R](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-r) - [S](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-s) - [T](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-t) - [U](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-u) - [V](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-v) - [W](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-w) - X - [Y](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-y) - [Z](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-letter-z) One page with ten quick ideas for each letter: [show and tell ideas for every letter, A to Z](https://kindergarten-prep.com/blog/show-and-tell-ideas).
