Here are seven riddles for kids where the answer is a pair of shoes. These are therefore perfect for using with all of our other clothes riddles.
The first five of these are rhyming riddles, with the sixth being a one line riddle that contains an internal rhyme.
The final one of these riddles asks your children What Am I? To use that idea, read the clue that’s on the first line to your kids and have them take a guess at what they think the answer might be. As the clue is that it’s something that gets sold in a box but which isn’t breakfast cereal, they might guess that it’s an engagement ring, a phone or a toy.
If they don’t guess that shoes are the answer, read them the clue that’s on the second line and have them try guessing again now that they have some extra information. Keep doing this until they either realize that the answer is shoes or they run out of clues.
