New Riddles for Kids Short Brain teasers Family Fun

Kids love riddles. Riddles aren't only fun, but they can help boost your children's verbal fluency and creative thinking. Riddles typically rely on clever new angles to look at something common, or on words with veiled or multiple meanings. So to answer the riddle, your kid needs to know what the words in the riddle mean and their various applications. For example, when you ask, "What has a head, a foot, and four legs?" your kiddo needs to know that the concept of "legs" applies not only to animals but to beds. If they don't know that, well, the riddle is a way for you to teach them and expand their perspective and vocab.
