The most important thing is to choose the right puzzle. If you overestimate the child's capabilities and choose too difficult, it will quickly turn from an interesting pastime into a boring, uninteresting activity for him. As, however, are too simple riddles that quickly deprive children of enthusiasm.
The secret of the amazing effect of riddles for children lies in several of its components.
- Firstly, in the form of a children's riddle, which so attracts children, it turns learning into a fascinating game, an adventure that makes you think logically, analyze, develop observation, and strive for knowledge of the world. Curiosity is the engine of many discoveries.

When choosing children's riddles, first of all give preference to those, the answer to which the child can not only guess, but also pronounce.
No more restrictions! Think of any object, animal, fairytale hero, profession, transport, holiday, number, letter ...
It is naturally more interesting and easier for a child to find answers among what surrounds him and what he likes, so always try to ask children's riddles that are relevant at this moment. In the forest, ask riddles about mushrooms, trees, at your grandmother's in the village - about pets, on the road - about transport, at lunch - about vegetables, fruits, food. It is especially important that the answer is in the field of vision of the smallest, because their logical thinking is still being formed, therefore it needs hints - sound, visual.
Turn any of the child's learning (development) processes into an exciting puzzle game and see how interesting and fun it is to learn together.
