DD took some empty sweet wrappers in for Show and Tell today. Is this normal?

That your DD likes sweets! Improved street-cred with the other children, definately.

I once read that Julia Donaldson's inspiration for Stick Man was a little boy in her friend's class who brought in for S&T 3 sticks he'd picked up on the way to school. Smile

rofl@sticks.
I think the other children take in their best toys.
she's planning to use them for art work.

In our school there was a phase of the 4yos bringing in pants to put on their heads for show and tell.

Not bad, it will win him sympathy and show you are not too up yourselves. Rather than sending in Shakespeare's collected works or something.

Dd who is in Yr 9 had to do a show and tell last week about "something they love" (citizenship or some such subject) and dd was rather worried that someone would bring in something too personal and it would all get embarrassing.

She ended up taking a photo of her grandparents house which was probably all right. But a boy in her class had clearly forgotten all about it, and brought out one of his lunchtime sandwiches- dd thought that was rather good.

It's a lot better than taking your best toys in! Might as well call it "Show off and tell"!

They should discourage that toy business...it's lazy.
