Toaster Riddles

June 9, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Our series of riddles for kids about household items continues today with five where the answer is a toaster.

These can also therefore be used with our other riddles about appliances and things you can specifically find in a kitchen.

The first four of these are rhyming riddles, with the word ‘toaster’ completing the rhyme of the fourth one.

The fifth and final riddle asks your kids the question What Am I? To use that riddle, read your children the clue listed on the first line and ask them to try to guess the answer.

The clue is that it’s something in their house but which isn’t a TV. As the clue is quite vague, they might guess that it’s a bed, a toothbrush, a sofa or one of many other possible objects.

If they don’t get lucky and guess that a toaster is the answer with their first guess, read them the second clue and ask them to take another guess. Keep going until they either realize that the correct answer is a toaster or they run out of clues.

Toaster Riddles For Kids

This small kitchen appliance
Gets pushed down and then it starts
It’s used for slices of bread
Or for heating up Pop-Tarts

~

When you’re hungry in the morning
This will help ensure you’re fed
It’s a small kitchen appliance
Which can cook slices of bread

~

I’m something in your house
But I am not your bed
As I’m in your kitchen
I’m used to cook your bread

~

This is something in your house
But it’s not a drinks coaster
You put in slices of bread
And push down – it’s a _ _ _ _ _ _ _

~

What Am I?

I’m in your house but I’m not a TV
I get pushed down but I’m not a plunger
I have several temperature settings but I’m not a microwave
I have a filament but I’m not a light bulb
I often contain bread but I’m not a sandwich

Refrigerator Riddles

June 7, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing with our series of riddles about items found around the house today with five where the answer is a refrigerator. These therefore also work well with all of our other kitchen and appliance riddles.

The first four of them are rhyming riddles, with the fifth asking your kids What Am I?

To use the What Am I riddle, read the clue that’s on the first line to your children and have them try to guess what the answer is. The clue is that it’s something that has shelves but which isn’t a bookcase, so they might guess that it’s a grocery store, a cupboard or a garage.

If they don’t guess that a refrigerator is the answer, read them the second clue and have them take another guess taking into account this extra information. Keep doing this until they either guess the correct answer or they run out of clues.

This is something in your kitchen
Meat, milk and yogurt it does hold
The reason you put them in this
Is because it helps keep them cold

~

If you eat meat and dairy products
Then this is what you will keep filled
Because for them to be safe to eat
You need this to help keep them chilled

~

This is a kitchen appliance
If your height’s 3 feet, this is taller
It has different food stored inside
It’s not room temperature but cooler

~

This has something to control its temperature
But it’s not an air conditioner unit
It is in your kitchen and it has a door
And it often has meat, cheese and milk in it

~

What Am I?

I have shelves but I’m not a bookcase
I have a door but I’m not a cupboard
I have a light but I’m not a lamp
I contain food but I’m not a grocery store
I’m cold inside but I’m not an igloo

Knife Riddles

June 2, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

We’re continuing our series of riddles for kids about household items with five today where the answer is a knife.

The first four of these rhyme, while the fifth is a What Am I riddle. To use that final idea, read the clue that’s on the first line to your children and ask them to take a guess at the answer.

The clue is that it has a handle but isn’t a car door, so they might guess that it’s a bedroom door, purse, bucket or briefcase.

If they don’t guess that a knife is the answer, read them the clue on the second line and have them guess again. Keep doing this until they either guess correctly that the answer is a knife or they run out of clues.

Knife Riddles For Kids

Because this item is sharp
You shouldn’t give it a lickin’
You use it to cut up food
And sometimes to carve a chicken

~

I’m something in your kitchen
Although I am not a cup
I’m a piece of silverware
Used to cut all your food up

~

There is one that’s made for pockets
And one that’s especially for steaks
There’s one to spread peanut butter
And a large one to cut wedding cakes

~

If you open a kitchen drawer
This is something that you might see
Smaller ones are used to cut your food
And larger ones to carve turkey

~

What Am I?

I have a handle but I’m not a car door
I’m found in a kitchen but I’m not a cupboard door
I sometimes spread things but I’m not a sneeze
I’m used to cut things but I’m not a pair of scissors
I have a blade but I’m not grass

Microwave Riddles

May 31, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

For the last few weeks, we’ve been publishing a series of riddles for kids which are all household items. The last few of these have been items you can find in the kitchen.

Today’s collection is no exception as the answer to all of these is a microwave, meaning they can also be used with our other appliance riddles.

The first five of these are rhyming riddles, while the sixth asks your children What Am I?

To use that sixth idea, read the clue that’s on the first line to your kids and have them guess the answer. As the clue is that it’s something that has a door but isn’t a cupboard, they might guess that it’s a car, a bedroom or an advent calendar.

If they don’t guess that a microwave is the answer, read them the second clue and have them take another guess. Keep doing this until they either guess correctly that the answer is a microwave or they run out of clues.

Microwave Riddles For Kids

This is something in the kitchen
Which can cook food on demand
What it’s called sounds similar to
A small movement of a hand

~

When you’re feeling hungry
And you need something to eat
If your food has gone cold
You can use this to reheat

~

I rotate but I’m not the Earth
As it orbits round the sun
Instead I’m used to heat up food
And I beep when I am done

~

I am used for cooking food
But not for it to be fried
I am a type of oven
But I don’t get hot inside

~

If you get home late from practice
This appliance is a winner
As instead of having cold food
This thing can reheat your dinner

~

What Am I?

I have a door but I’m not a cupboard
I have buttons but I’m not an elevator
I beep but I’m not a car
I’m found in your kitchen but I’m not a dishwasher
I can cook things but I’m not a saucepan

Washing Machine Riddles

May 26, 2016 By Stephen Pepper

Our series of household item riddles continues today with another item that can often be found in a kitchen, as today’s set all have a washing machine as their answer.

The first five of these rhyme, with the words ‘washing machine’ completing the rhyme of the fifth one.

The sixth idea is a What Am I riddle. To use that one, read the first line to your kids and ask them to guess the answer. The clue is that it gets filled with water but isn’t a drinking glass, so your children might try guessing that it’s a bathtub, a sink or a rain barrel.

If they don’t guess that the answer is a washing machine, read them the clue that’s on the second line and have them take another guess now that they have some further information. Keep going until they either guess correctly that it’s a washing machine or they run out of clues.

Washing Machine Riddles For Kids

This appliance
Will clean your shirt
When it has been
Covered in dirt

~

This is something in your house
Which is used because it cleans
It’s not a dishwasher though
As it cleans your socks and jeans

~

If you have any dirty clothes
Then you will need to make use of this
If you go to a laundromat
You’ll see lots of these appliances

~

I am something you can find in your house
That you would use when your clothes are dirty
Before going in a tumble dryer
You would usually first put them in me

~

When your jeans and T-shirts get dirty
Then you put them in this to get clean
It’s filled with water and detergent
Which means that it’s a _ _ _ _ _ _ _      _ _ _ _ _ _ _

~

What Am I?

I get filled with water but I’m not a drinking glass
I spin but I’m not a propeller
I clean things but I’m not a janitor
I’m a household appliance but I’m not a dishwasher
I have clothes put in me but I’m not a closet
