What is a riddle?
Perhaps you first need to look into the dictionary. The Great Encyclopedic interprets this word as a description executed in allegorical form. Often it has a poetic basis. This genre of folk art is always aimed at testing the wisdom of the one who unravels it.
Whatever the riddle: about mushrooms, bushes or trees, about animals, birds or flowers, people or their professions, it always only describes the plan. It never sounds in the question. If puzzles are composed for children, then special emphasis is placed on the unique features of an object or phenomenon. In situations where this is not possible, a comparison is made with other things.
For a long time people used riddles in folk art. Fairy-tale heroes necessarily fell into situations where they needed to be smart. Only after difficult tasks were solved, did they manage to pass through locked doors or receive treasured things.

It so happened that preschoolers more often solve riddles rather than invent them. Moreover, no one gives specific recommendations on how to get to the bottom of the answer. From the experience of specialists, it became clear that the most quick-witted children solve puzzles as if by itself. Sometimes this happens by enumerating possible answers. If such a game takes place in a team of children, then most of them are simply outside observers who only remember the answer. The maximum benefits of solving will be observed in the individual solution to the puzzle. In such a situation, all mental functions will be actively involved in the child.

The baby will not remain indifferent and will be bombarded with questions-riddles of the attentive listener. And over time, his tasks will become more perfect. And those who have inclinations will delight in rhymes.
