Purchase options and add-ons
Brain Teasers for Kids - Riddles for the Whole Family
“The mind once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
This kids book is a collection of 300 brain teasing riddles and puzzles. Their purpose is to encourage children to think and stretch their minds. They are designed to test logic, lateral thinking as well as memory and to engage the brain in seeing patterns and connections between different things and circumstances.
They are laid out in three chapters which get more difficult as you go through the book, in the author’s opinion at least. The answers are at the back of the book if all else fails.
These are more difficult riddles for kids and are designed to be attempted by children from 10 years onwards, as well as participation from the rest of the family.
It is a perfect activity book for kids who like problem solving. These activities can be shared with the whole family.
This book is one of a series of puzzle books for kids. The aim of all of them is to stretch children’s brains through kids riddles and puzzles. They are kids books designed to challenge children to think laterally and more creatively.

iacopoReviewed in Italy on August 14, 20214.0 out of 5 stars Problema risolto
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIl libro è interessante, gli indovinelli carini. Ma dopo averlo lasciato chiuso per un paio di mesi, non si apriva più... Ho inviato una segnalazione ad Amazon: dopo 5 minuti mi ha contattato al telefono un addetto di Amazon che ha risolto il problema. Do 4 stelle al libro e 5 stelle al servizio di Product Support di Amazon!
