What Foods Start With X for Show and Tell?

If you are a parent of a preschooler or kindergartner, you have probably faced that dreaded note from school: “Please bring an item that starts with the letter X for show and tell.” Your heart sinks a little, right? You scan the pantry, the fridge, your memory. X? Xylophone? That is a musical instrument, not a snack. The teacher specifically asked for a food item this week because they are tying it into a healthy eating unit. Suddenly, you are in a panic. I have been there myself, standing in the grocery aisle, staring at the produce section, wondering if there is any fruit or vegetable on earth that begins with X. The good news is there are several delicious, school-friendly options. And you can turn this challenge into a wonderful learning moment for your child.
