Those who have kids know that you must figure out a million ways to entertain the little devils each and every day. You’re in luck if your spawn can sit quietly and draw things for hours, but that’s a rare chance. So, you’re probably stuck thinking of new games and new ways to spend time with your babies, counting new gray hairs with each failed attempt. However, have you tried enticing your bairn with easy riddles for kids? You haven’t? Well then, this is your perfect chance to try yet another activity that might give your child something entertaining to do and at least half an hour for you to drink your coffee in peace.

These fun riddles are definitely suitable for kids - they are fairly easy to solve, they exercise the little brains, and your kid won’t even notice that he’s actually learning something new! A truly fruitful combo of entertainment and learning, these are. Also, to make it all even easier on your part, the simple riddles are each supplied with the correct answer, although we’d suggest letting your babies try and solve them first of their own accord. You might even try and solve these easy riddles together! Once you have your well-deserved coffee first, of course.

So, desperate for new ways to entertain your kids or just casually scrolling for things to do when you are babysitting your tiny little niece or nephew, these kids’ riddles might be just the thing you’re looking for. You’ll find the whole collection of these funny riddles just a bit further down, and once you are there, you can also vote for the ones you think to be the best!
