Hey, I wanted to tell you about something funny that happened with my little cousin.
I was trying to keep him busy, so I decided to give him some Riddles for Preschoolers.
At first, he didn’t understand them, and I noticed I was getting a bit frustrated because he kept asking me to repeat everything.
But then I realized I could make it fun by acting out the answers, and suddenly, he started laughing and solving the riddles on his own!
That’s how I handled this little challenge, and it turned into a fun game of Riddles for Preschoolers.
