    "Whoo!"

    Lots of this goodness
    Near our yard
    And you won't take your hand
    And you won't bring it home.

    Masha walked in the garden
    Collected, collected
    Looked into the box -
    There is nothing there.

    Riddles about objects

    I walk, I wander not through the forests,
    And in the mustache, in the hair,
    And my teeth are longer
    Than wolves and bears.

    Everywhere, everywhere we are together
    Let's go inseparable.
    We walk through the meadows
    Along the green shores
    We run down the stairs,
    We walk along the street.
    But a little evening on the threshold,
    We are left without legs
    And the legless - that's the trouble! -
    Neither here nor there!
    Well? Let's get under the bed
    Let's sleep there quietly
    And when the legs return
    Let's take the road again.

    If the pines would eat
    Were able to run and jump
    They would run away from me without looking back.
    And you would never see me again
    Because - I'll tell you, not boasting -
    I am steel and evil, and very toothy.

    I'm a one-eared old woman
    I'm jumping on the canvas
    And a long thread from the ear,
    Like a cobweb, I pull.

    The wise man saw the wise man in him,
    Fool - fool
    ram - ram,
    A sheep saw a sheep in him,
    And a monkey - a monkey,
    But they brought Fedya Baratov to him,
    And Fedya saw the shaggy slut.

    I have two horses
    Two horses.
    They carry me on the water.
    And the water
    hard,
    Like stone!

    I lie under your feet
    Trample me with your boots.
    And tomorrow take me to the yard
    And hit me, hit me
    So that the children can lie on me,
    Flounder and somersault on me.

    Take me, wash, bathe,
    And know: it would be a big trouble,
    Whenever it's not me and water, -
    On a dirty, unwashed neck
    You would have nasty snakes
    And poisonous stings
    They would stab you like daggers.
    And in every unwashed ear
    Evil frogs would settle down,
    And if you, the poor, wept,
    They would laugh and croak.
    Here, dear children, what a trouble
    It would be, if not for me and water.
    Take me, wash, bathe,
    And what am I - quickly guess.

    Korney Chukovsky not only wrote poems for children, but also composed riddles. The riddles of this author have a beautiful style, they are interesting for children and adults. In addition, riddles accompany the comprehensive development of the child.

    Lies, lies a penny at our well.
    A good penny, but it is not given in the hands.
    Go bring fourteen horses,
    Go call fifteen strongmen!
    Let them try to raise a pretty penny
    So that Mashenka could play with a penny!
    And the horses galloped, and the strongmen came,
    But they didn’t pick up a small penny from the ground,
    They didn't lift it, didn't lift it, and couldn't move it.

    I am a giant! That huge
    multipood stove
    I'm like a chocolate bar
    I instantly raise in height.
    And if I use a mighty paw
    I will grab an elephant or a camel,
    I will be happy with both of them.
    Raise like little kittens.

    Suddenly from the black darkness
    Bushes grew in the sky.
    And they are blue
    Crimson, gold
    Flowers are blooming
    Unprecedented beauty.
    And all the streets below them
    They also turned blue
    Crimson, gold,
    Multicolored.

    Two legs on three legs
    And the fourth in the teeth.
    Suddenly four came running
    And they ran away with one.
    Two legs jumped
    Grabbed three legs
    Shouted to the whole house -
    Yes, three by four!
    But four squealed
    And they ran away with one.

    And towards - twelve guys.
    Each has three baskets,
    In each basket - a cat,
    Each cat has twelve kittens.
    Every kitten

    And old Kondrat thought:
    How many mice and kittens
    Are the guys carrying to Leningrad?

    Maryushka - a pretty penny,

    Mashenka - a pretty penny,
    Manechka - a pretty penny -
    What a kind grandma she was!

    How many kopecks did grandmother give?

    Answer? Grandmother gave one penny, since Maryushka, Marusenka, Mashenka and Manechka are the same girl
