I don't do show and tell, but dcks are allowed to bring toys, however we have a share policy. If its a new toy they are given an adjustment time, even N old toy actually, to show it off and play with themselves, but then it must be shared. If they dont want to share it goes in the wayhigh (the closet way up high) and is given to their parents at pick up with a polite request not to bring untill ready to share. My grandson lives here and the same rules apply to him with a twist. If he has things he doesnt want to share thats ok, but he cant play with in front of the dcks. However we do keep a few things in his moms room, so if he feels frustrated he can vo in there and shut the door to have his own time. I have the same rules with food/snacks. Unless you have med needs or are a baby, if you bring it, its getting shared. I dont care if its a pack of doughnuts or a happy meal (yes it happened and after a 4 kid no fair screamathon food rule was applied.). It was tough at first, but rarely an issue now.
