As a former teacher for 4 to 6 year olds, I run my show n tell similarly to yours, except ours is once a week. I have 2 almost 4 year olds that get the whole concept and share during this time nicely (one is my own ds that doesn't always like to share, but he loves the toy exchange). My 2 almost three year olds are lovely little ones, but will not share their show n tell without major intervention on my part. It just shows me the difference a year will make in so many areas of development. Could you do show n tell more frequently? And, I think you are going to have to supervise the sharing. I set a timer for 2 minutes, and then we swap toys.
