From the beginning of time, kids have always been adorable, heartwarming...and totally weird. And what's the best way for a kid to show off their weirdness? Show and tell of course! From glass eyes and famous knives to animals both dead and alive, these are certifiably the most bizarre things kids have brought to school.
1. All Eyes On Him
When I was in fifth grade, we were learning about the human body, specifically, the eyes. Surprisingly, one of my classmates showed up to school one day with a bag full of cow's eyes - his dad worked in a slaughterhouse. When our teacher saw them, she looked like she was going to be sick. The surprise package of eyes was completely unscheduled - we were simply supposed to watch a filmstrip about eyes that day.
Given the scorching Arizona heat, our teacher decided to store the eyes in the faculty fridge for the rest of the day. Eventually, she handed them back to my classmate, who took them home. On his way, he distributed the cow eyes to any kid who wanted one. I'll let you visualize what went down next.
2. He Was A Terrible Liar
Once, I had a 6-year-old kid in my class who had a lot on his plate and a knack for lying. I mean, he wasn't even good at making up believable stories. Every day he would claim to have something for Show and Tell, and usually, we just didn't have the time to entertain it.
But every once in a while, we let him have his Show and Tell moment. He'd confidently stand up, head over to my desk, and choose the most arbitrary items like a post-it note or my special "well done" stamp that even had my name on it!
He would then craft this over-the-top tale about how he discovered it in Africa while having tea with his aunt just the day prior. But the weirdest part? If he caught on that nobody bought his story, he'd be really upset. But most of his classmates, being innocent or polite, would just smile and go along with his tall tale.
3. The Three Stooges
My mom was a teacher, and even though we didn't live together, I'd sometimes help her set up or tidy up her classrooms. Sometimes, I'd bring a couple of high school buddies along with me. Interestingly, my cute six-year-old sister also went to my mom's school. One day, my mom called me to come over with my usual pals.
Twenty minutes later, we were there. Without any hesitation, mom directed us to my sister's class. Respectfully, we knocked on the door and walked in. My sister squealed, "My Show and Tell's here! Meet my big brothers, they're hilarious." I'm fortunate because those two guy friends are still close pals today. They immediately began acting out a kid-friendly comedy routine, similar to the 3 Stooges.
One of them climbed up the other's back. They juggled pencils and erasers. A pretend trip and stumble here, a silly noise there. I was more of a spectator, to be honest. The classroom was bursting with uncontrolled laughter. Even the teacher couldn't resist and began crying from laughing so hard. Eventually, she had to ask us to leave to prevent the kids from literally ending up in stitches. My sister's gleaming, proud face that day is a moment I’ll never forget.
4. Spreading A Fake Story
When I was in fourth grade, I had my grandpa, who lived nearby, fetch a beaded necklace from home while my parents were at work. Dad had told me that a monk in Vietnam gave it to him, and I wanted to show it off at Show and Tell.
A few months later, during my parent-teacher meeting, my teacher mentioned my dad's supposed Vietnam trip. My mom was baffled and had to correct him, explaining my dad had never been to Vietnam. She found the mix-up amusing as she realized it was one of my dad's wild tales.
Dad had a knack for spinning fantastic stories that a gullible kid like me would believe. For instance, he'd tell me his surgery scars from mole removals were actually from arrow wounds. He found this amusing, never imagining I'd pass along his tales to others.

5. It Was Dad’s Idea
When I was in grade school, we had a show-and-tell with a twist - bring your favorite toy animal from home and explain why you like it. While most kids opted for stuffies or action figures, but this one crazy girl had a big surprise for us. She brought an actual bearded dragon. She casually unveiled her pet resided in an ordinary plastic bag, much to everyone's shock, and unceremoniously dropped it onto the table when it came to be her turn.
Our normally cool-headed female teacher was petrified at the sight and hurriedly got on the phone to ring her parents, asking them to collect their daughter's "wild creature."
After a while, her Russian father entered the room, and it was clear from his expression he couldn't quite figure out what the issue was with the bearded dragon. The teacher was still on the edge, voicing concerns about the potential havoc such a creature could wreak, possible bites, and the cruelty of hauling a living being enclosed in a disposable plastic bag.
Understanding that the teacher was genuinely spooked and slightly blowing things out of proportion, the father calmly excused himself, took the bag, and departed without showing any sign of distress or shock. Evidently, he was used to such surprises. Meanwhile, the crowd hailed the girl as the hero of the day.
And surprisingly, she avoided any repercussions as it turned out the baffling plan of bringing the bearded dragon...was actually her dad's idea.

6. The Hair Off His Head
One time, a kid showed up to Show and Tell with a bag full of his own hair. Not that he actually tried to do a presentation on it or anything. He also had an action figure with him. I spotted him and his buddy messing around with the action figure, sticking something on its head. Intrigued, I went over to them to figure out what was going on.
"It's hair!" he revealed. I was like, "Hair? Where'd it come from?" And he simply replied, "It's Stevie's hair! He had got a haircut over the weekend!" So, essentially, this kid got a haircut, collected his hair, stuffed it in his school bag, and then decided to bring it all to school. Unbelievably, the hair stayed in his bag for an entire week before his mom stumbled upon it.
7. They Were Surprised With A Lesson
I taught fifth grade at a school with wealthy kids, and poor kids who were bussed in. One day, a girl from a low-income family brought a coconut for Show and Tell, intending to share about Trinidad, her dad's homeland. Unfortunately, the coconut was rotten and had a terrible smell when cracked open. I was so scared that the girl would feel embarrassed.
To my surprise, a wealthy but not particularly bright student saw the rotten coconut and stated, "It reminds me of the earth with its core, mantle, and crust!" This was a concept that he previously struggled to understand. So, even though things didn't go as planned, it ended up being a positive experience.

8. Talk About A Bad Hair Day
One day, a classmate brought a remote control helicopter for Show and Tell. It was awesome until the blades got tangled in a girl's hair. I believe the nurse took an hour to untangle it.
9. Detention Over Darts
In elementary school, probably around the seventh grade, I decided to bring darts to school for something similar to Show and Tell. I was eager to show them to my classmates. But, the moment I showed up in my first class and revealed them to my teacher, they were taken away.
Before I knew it, I was being sent to the principal's office and found myself banned from attending the school event happening then. To top it off, for about a week, I had to spend my lunch and morning snack breaks outside the principal's office. All because I just wanted to share my darts with everyone.

10. Released The Beast
Back in fifth grade in Arizona, there was this girl in our class who brought a jar to school one day. Inside that jar were a tarantula and a black widow - no idea how she managed to catch both on the same day. Anyway, not even an hour later, the tarantula was lying upside down, completely still in the jar. As luck would have it, a fire drill happened the same day and someone knocked the jar off the girl’s desk. It broke and out went the black widow.
We never found that black widow again, but just to be safe, the teacher squashed the motionless tarantula with their shoe. It was sort of like a déjà vu moment of second grade, when our glass fire ant farm met the same fate. Honestly, I'm still scratching my head about why classmates thought bringing these bugs to school was a good idea, and how the teachers allowed it repeatedly.
11. A Very Popular Accident
In the sixth grade, I brought a belly dancing bralette to school for Show and Tell, given to me by my brother from his overseas assignment. We were learning about the Middle East, hence I thought it would be interesting. I recall my teacher's surprised reaction, questioning, "Just...that? Is that all they wear?" I casually replied, "Yeah, I suppose." Only a few weeks later, I realized I'd made a hilarious mistake.
Apparently, there was a mix-up; the bralette was meant for his girlfriend, while my camel-themed book was meant for me. Nevertheless, for a short time, I was unexpectedly popular among the boys in my sixth-grade class.

12. A Horrifying Misunderstanding
Once a kid brought in "her grandpa's skull" for Show and Tell. The class freaked out big time! After some explanation, we found out her grandpa was a doctor and the skull was just his office prop. Don't freak, he was still very much around!
13. Just A Kid And His Combine
Back in my school days, I was in a small-town eastern Colorado. One day, a pal of mine thought it would be cool to bring his dad's massive combine harvester to school for our Show and Tell. Now, remember, we were just fourth-graders at this point. What still amazes me is the fact that no one kicked up a fuss about it. So there we were, with this gigantic piece of farming gear parked on our front lawn for the whole day.
14. Not The Right Form Of Transportation
In my third grade, a silly classmate decided to bring a live bat to school. But sadly, he placed the bat in a plastic bag inside his backpack. Since it couldn't breathe, the poor bat didn't make the journey alive. The image of my friend pulling out the limp bat from the bag still sticks with me almost 26 years later.
15. Post Surgery Show
A few months after my brain surgery, when my little guy was still at preschool, he asked me to join for a Show and Tell not long after I had brain surgert. My look was unique with a clean-shaven head, a pretty tough-looking scar, and a crazy eye. Boy, he wanted everyone to get a good look at my quirky eye.
I found it amusing and it really lifted my spirits. Initially, he had struggled to adjust to my new look.

16. Danger To Some, Collectibles to Others
At a Show and Tell once, I took along two knives. My dad hails from a part of France known for crafting popular knives called Laguiole. I had got two of these - one was a horn one and the other sported a bright orange color. It hadn't occurred to me that it could stir up trouble. However, my folks were called in—but at least they didn't yell at me for bringing the knives.
17. An Innocent Interest
I work as a kindergarten teacher in a state where marijuana is legal. One of my kids brought a plastic tube to school that is typically used by nearby dispensaries to store ready-to-use joints. The little guy said he discovered it in his folks' room and decided to bring it along because he was fascinated by the pop sound it made when it was unsealed.
18. A Strange Thing To Keep
So, back when I was in grade five, my buddy brought a hip replacement part from a human body for Show and Tell. Her dad had a job at a crematorium and kept it. The theme of our Show and Tell was "What you wanna be when you're older?", and she was crazy about becoming a mortician like her old man. You'll be shocked at what happened next.
She let the hip replacement travel around the class before she spilled the beans and told us what it really was - even the teacher didn't know before then! No prizes for guessing, it created quite a scene, to say the least.
19. A Poor Description
In second grade, I once took a cool gadget to school that I'd gotten from an aquarium. It was a nifty multitool with binoculars, a compass, a mirror, and maybe a couple of other things. The design was great - everything folded up perfectly! The binoculars were especially neat. But back then, the only way I knew how to describe it was "pocket knife". This freaked out my teacher and she wouldn't let me show it to the class.

20. Exposing Bad Habits
My wife works as a teacher in a big city in the US. A kid in her fourth-grade class once showed up with his mom's illegal drugs—during a drug awareness week, no less. He received visits from the school heads and school therapist, likely even the police.
21. Case Of Mistaken Identity
The teacher in the room next to mine had quite the story. One of her students came to school eager to share his new lucky charm - a rabbit's foot, as he believed. He proudly told the class he had one for everybody. Well, turns out, the "rabbit's foot" was actually a tampon.
22. A Different Type Of Rock Collection
In my school, a student showed off his "laundry rocks". These were balled-up pieces of paper that he placed in his pockets. Once washed, they turned hard like actual rocks. He discovered this by pure chance, loved the outcome, and kept doing it on purpose.

23. Different Animals For Different Years
One of my students once smuggled in a bear's head taxidermy - the result of his dad's archery hunting. He managed to sneak it into school inside a massive black trash bag, without his parents finding out. A few years later, he came to school with homing pigeons his family was rearing and training. He did a full-blown show-and-tell, complete with a headset mic, for the entire school.
His family was made up of some of the kindest, coolest folks you'll ever meet. They easily make it into my top three favorite families.
24. Show Us Your Hands
One time, I was the star of a Show and Tell in class. My folks had this odd decision to buy a mass of raw black walnuts, still in their natural shells. We ended up peeling the shells without gloves, which gave us a lasting walnut-brown hand stain. Nobody thought of wearing gloves until it was done and dusted.
Then my teacher asked, "Ocelot, show everyone your stained hands and let them know why they're like this!" It was pretty embarrassing to sport what seemed like grimy hands and dark nails for a week.
25. A Secret Not To Share
This one time, I found some salamanders in our basement and decided to take them for Show and Tell. After I returned, I put them back, with my dad's help. But when my mom found out, she was mad. She didn't want everyone knowing we had salamanders downstairs. You see, we live in an old farmhouse with a pretty damp basement. When I think about it now, I think it's quite hilarious.
26. Practice For The Future
When I was around eight or nine, I had an interesting Show and Tell episode. I brought along a pill container stuffed with mouse organs ready to reveal each day - heart on Monday, liver on Tuesday, you catch my drift. My cat had hunted this mouse, which I took and afterward, our foreign exchange student and I dissected it outside. I promise, we are not crazy!
Both of us had dreams about becoming doctors. We found the whole thing absolutely thrilling. But our teacher, not so much. This led to my parents getting a phone call from school. But the silver lining? That exchange student did become a heart and lung surgeon, so I guess the mouse didn't go to waste.
27. Scaring The Substitute
Back when I was a fourth-grader, I once landed myself in hot water for bringing a pair of bayonets and a handgun to Show and Tell. The first bayonet was a relic from WWI, while the other two items were from its sequel, WWII. My teacher had given me the green light for them, and my folks were in the loop. But, as luck would have it, we had a sub that day. I mean, come on, what 9-year-old boy wouldn't think those are the coolest things to show off?
Funny enough, this was the same sub who asked to have a sit-down with my parents to discuss how my "Satanic discussions" were influencing my classmates. Keeping it classy, my Dad explained that I happened to be engrossed in The Lord of the Rings at that time. Those weren't dark magic spells, but were in fact elvish writings. Moreover, those weren't sketches of violence, but the fortress of Helm's Deep he was drawing.
He added, "If you knew a thing or two about good old English Literature, you'd nudge him to read The Lord of the Rings rather than the nonsense items on your favored reading list."

28. They’re Back To Life
In the autumn, my husband and our little girl discovered a large wasp nest. To preserve it, we put it into a huge ice cream bucket and stuffed it into the freezer. When the school resumed after the Christmas holidays, my daughter decided to take this wasp nest for her School's Show and Tell session. Everyone, including her teacher, found it quite interesting. It was then placed beside a window on a counter. However, about a month later, I received a call from her teacher. The wasp nest had started making a buzzing sound, and I was requested to come to pick it up, which I did promptly.
29. A Souvenir From Dad
My mom used to be a teacher. Back in the 80s, during a Show and Tell session at school, a kid brought in a baseball bat. My mom was pretty curious about why he chose that and asked him. The kid casually mentioned that his parents had quite the wild party over the weekend. It got so rowdy, it spilled onto the public street. Naturally, the police stopped by because of the noise.
The kid continued to explain that his dad didn't exactly take kindly to the police asking them to lower the music and end the party. His dad handled the situation by threatening the cop with the very same baseball bat. He told the cop, "If you don't step off, this baseball bat might just find its way inside you, turning you into a 'copsicle.'"
As you can imagine, my mom was shocked. That was the last Show and Tell session she ever had in her classroom.
30. Simply Not School Appropriate
At my school, we did Show and Tell only once when I was 10. I proudly brought my Gorrilaz 2001 album for it, thinking it was the coolest thing. But since my school was Catholic, they took it away.
31. Keeping An Eye Out
In first grade, a classmate once brought her dad's glass eye and a picture of him holding it, with his empty eye socket in plain view. As a six-year-old, I couldn't make sense of it. So, I went home and excitedly told my parents that my friend's dad could literally take out his eye. And, I was totally convinced that it was true.
32. Third Time’s A Charm
In second grade, I took my large Speedy Gonzales plush toy to school three different times. It was super old and worn out, so the stuffing started to spill out onto the floor somehow. Even though I tried to fix it using staples, it didn't really hold up. The third time I brought it, my teacher asked me why I kept bringing the same thing over and over again. I attempted to fib and act as if it was my first time bringing it.
Meanwhile, there was this kid in my class who always brought his pet snake to school, and it would often make a mess on the floor. Nobody seemed to mind that at all. I felt it was quite unfair.
33. Great Pieces Of History
So, my class had a show-and-tell event and it went south. This girl whose family is originally from Germany, got a Berlin Wall fragment from her grandma. A classmate accidentally dropped it and it broke into several pieces. Yikes! She ended the day with several mini Berlin Wall pieces.
34. Unconventional To Say The Least
As a teacher, I normally dodge Show and Tell sessions just to avoid gross stuff, like kids showing off their booger collections. However, I recall an interesting incident from my own fourth grade - it was 'bring your pet' day. Mostly everyone brought usual pets, but one girl surprised us all by bringing her pet skunk. Don't worry! It had its smell glands taken out and acted pretty much like a cute puppy or kitten. Sadly, my mom shut down even the thought of us owning a skunk.
35. An Incident Waiting To Happen
Back in my early school days, my mum used to invite my aunt or uncle to watch over me occasionally. This was in the 70s, and they were the 'cool' relatives since they were much younger than mom. They happily spent time with me, playing on the swings or in the sandbox.
They would often light up cigarettes that had a distinct smell. One particular day while playing, I spotted a barrette on their cigarette with stunning white feathers. I wanted it so badly. My aunt kindly gave it to me and clipped it in my hair. It was unlike any barrettes I had ever seen, I loved it!
The next day I wore it to school for Show and Tell. When my teacher asked to have a closer look, I obliged. Later, when my mother arrived to pick me up, the teacher requested to talk to her privately. After their conversation, as we got into the car, my mum asked me where I got the barrette from and explained it was a 'roach clip.' Upon mentioning it was a gift from my aunt, she declared my aunt and uncle were no longer my babysitters. I was heartbroken about it.
36. When Toys Are Scarce
Back in my kindergarten days, my mom used to let me mess around with tampons. I'd soak them in water and get a kick out of seeing them puff up. This was before my house had a TV or internet. I named these tampons 'water flowers' and sneaked one into my backpack for show and tell one day. My teachers couldn't stop laughing when they called my mom.
My mom took it lightly and joked back with my teachers, teasing them that next week I might bring condoms or pads to show and tell.

37. He Can’t Be Tamed
When I was around nine or ten, we ended up caring for a baby kangaroo because we accidentally hurt his mum with our car. I brought him to school for Show and Tell once - it was all fun and games until he decided to hop around all over the place! At the end of the day, he was still a wild creature. My mum took care of him, feeding him and such until he got too big for us. Finally, we moved him to a small zoo near Brisbane where he could roam freely.
38. The Living Artefact
My cousin, as a youngster, once took our great-grandma, who was a hundred years old then, to his Show and Tell at school. She was quite the sensation as she shared tales of her life before every house had electric power. With her mind still sharp, she was a big hit.
39. An Innocent Piece Of Jewelry
A kid in my class came to school with a jelly "band." He couldn't wait to show it off to all his first-grade buddies. The best part? It buzzed when you pressed a tiny button. But after a closer look, I realized it was a ring, not a band. And it definitely wasn't meant for the wrist.
40. Just To Be Sure
I was in fourth grade when the Cedar Fire took place in San Diego County. Our driveway gathered about two or three inches of ash. I scooped some into a bag. Couple of years later, we moved to Florida. At the start of the year, we had to present one thing about ourselves. I showed my bag of ashes. My teacher checked a couple of times to make sure they weren't human cremains.
41. Some Love More Than Others
On the first day of school, we all showed up with something special to us. This nice girl showed us a teddy bear, a gift from her boyfriend on their anniversary. She couldn't stop gushing about what a great guy he is. The boyfriend, funny enough, showed off his new iPhone that he'd gotten for himself. The whole situation made everyone a little uneasy while I was struggling to keep a straight face.
42. Not The Best Choice
In fifth grade, we were tasked with a Show and Tell project. The challenge? To create a recipe and explain it to the class. Oh, and we also had to bring some samples to school for the other kids. One of my classmates decided to make sushi. They made it three days before our Show and Tell, which was not the greatest idea. On top of that, they brought the sushi to school on a particularly hot day. It didn't taste too good. Actually, it had such an awful effect on me, I didn't eat sushi for the next ten years. I honestly can't believe no one fell ill after that experience.
43. Sharing The Wealth
My wife teaches kindergarten. One year, a boy from her class brought a lot of cash from his parents. All this happened not during Show and Tell, but during free play. While my wife was planning a lesson, a student showed her all the money the boy had shared.
The cash was made up of $5s and $10s totaling $50. She looked around and realized several kids were flashing cash. She collected all the money and called the boy's mom. His mom claimed the cash was their rent money, stashed safely under a couch cushion. My wife had collected nearly $2000, all in bills of $5s, $10s, $20s, and $50s. We had our doubts it was really for rent.
44. Not So Popular With The Kids
Back in 6th grade, I once showed my classmates a photo of my grandpa shaking hands with Winston Churchill. My grandpa used to be in politics, so he got to meet him. I didn't think it was a big deal, but my dad insisted that it'd be cool to share. My classmates didn't really give it much attention. But my teacher thought it was super interesting! She even called in other teachers to see it, and I was bombarded with loads of questions. I'm not sure where that photo ended up, though.

45. Take Your Dad To School Day
In first grade, I had forgotten to choose something for Show and Tell. So, I was in a panic that morning. To fix this, I asked my dad to be my Show and Tell. He was thrilled, so much so that he didn't go to work. He brought up a strange suitcase from the basement and we headed to school.
He was eager and asked when Show and Tell would start. Learning it was going to be before lunch, he seemed a bit let down. Still, he went to have some coffee. The Show and Tell time finally arrived and dad entered just as it was my turn. I proudly introduced him as my dad, the man who brought me up.
Then, dad told me to sit because he had something interesting planned. I was clueless about what he was about to do— and boy, did he surprise me! He flipped open that suitcase and his magic kit was revealed. He performed for the whole class doing magic tricks and yo-yo stunts. He even presented my teacher with a bundle of roses. This made her blush and sparked some fun teasing from my classmates. Everyone was speechless and kids in the class wanted him at their birthday parties. It was a really wonderful day.

46. And It Was Never Seen Again
Once upon a time, as a kindergartener, I took my favorite Power Rangers toys to school. These were not any ordinary toys; their heads could flip around, showing the Rangers in their regular attire and then in their helmets. One day, a kid asked to play with my black ranger toy. Suddenly, he tossed it over the back fence and it was gone forever. I was completely heartbroken.
47. A Tragic Turn Of Events
I attempted to take my goldfish with me, but I didn't inform anyone about it. I tried to lift him out from the tank with my bare hands. Thankfully, my parents got wind of it before anything bad happened to my fish. However, my sister, whose fish was also living with mine in the same tank, wasn't as fortunate.
48. A Strange Food From A Strange Kid
Back in my kindergarten days, I picked my mom's yummy cheesy broccoli for Show and Tell. I loved it so much, I wanted to share the taste with my friends. On the day, I even helped my mom cook it! I imagined my classmates would really love it. You see, instead of bringing a toy, I brought a dish for everyone to try.
But sadly, not everyone matched my excitement. I think only the teacher and maybe one other kid tried a bite. It was a letdown, for sure, but hey, I got to enjoy more of it! Now that I think of it, it was a rather peculiar choice. But then again, I wasn't your everyday kind of kid.
49. One Girl’s Junk Is Another Girl’s Fun
Once, there was a girl the same age as my brother. Her dad worked at a junkyard. One day, she brought an old thermometer to school. It looked pretty cool. The surprising part? She crushed the thermometer right on her desk, saying, "This is the most fun part," and began playing with the mercury. I'm not sure what happened next, but I can tell you that by the time I stepped into first grade, Show and Tell no longer existed.

50. Relaying A Deeper Meaning
When I was in sixth grade, a girl from a farm brought something very intriguing to school - she called it "The Most Powerful Weapon in the World." You won't believe what it was! It was small enough to fit inside a shoebox, and we were all so eager to see it. Surprisingly, this "weapon" was nothing more than a cow tongue, from a cow that her dad had recently hunted. She went on to explain why she thought of it as a weapon. According to her, "Our tongue, or simply, the words we speak, possesses great power. They can be used positively, to benefit others, or negatively, causing harm. That's why the tongue is the most powerful weapon in the world." I still remember that eye-opening day in school.
51. Not Your Typical Toy
Back in the 90s, I had a student who showed up to class with a pink vibrator, thinking it was just a toy. Now, I can't recall exactly what he thought it was, but it was actually a vibrator. My young class didn't recognize it for its true purpose, as it was a simple design, lacking any explicit details. That evening, I had to make an extremely nerve-wracking call.
Far from being mad, she laughed the whole thing off, picking it up from the school the next day. Unexpectedly, this quirky incident was the beginning of our relationship. She's been my wife for 15 years now, and together, we've had two more lovely kids.
52. Not What They Expected To Find
One day, my brother spotted a scorpion at our house. Instead of being scared, he decided to take it to school for Show and Tell. But things didn't go as planned. Somehow, the scorpion escaped its container. The teacher told everyone to keep an eye out for it and catch it if possible. But here's the kicker: several kids came back claiming they'd found the scorpion. That's when we realized our school wasn't just hosting one scorpion - it was overrun by them!
