Cow Riddles

By

We’re continuing our series of animal riddles today with a few where cow is the answer.

In addition to the animal theme, these also group together well with our other riddles for kids with a farm, food and nature theme.

The first three of these rhyme, while the fourth is a What Am I? riddle. With that final idea, read the first line to your kids and get them to guess what they think the answer is.

If they’re incorrect, read them the second clue and get them to guess again. Keep going until they either guess that the answer is a cow or they run out of clues.

If they have horns I’d be wary
The females produce white stuff
That gets classified as dairy

Milk is what they make
They help give us leather
And a juicy steak

But never a rattle
A group’s known as a herd
Or sometimes as cattle

That can be red, white or green
