Plates and other objects surround us from early childhood. Riddles about dishes help kids develop logical thinking, introduce them to household items and their correct use. Children are often interested in the origin of dishes. For example, in Ancient Rus', all utensils were made of wood. It was only later that bowls began to be made from copper. Although it has now been proven that copper cookware is harmful to health. Dishes often act as heroes in folk tales. She can speak, feel, and is credited with magical qualities. Do you remember how in the fairy tale “Fedorino’s Grief” the dishes took offense at the mistress and left the house? Riddles about dishes are quite easy to guess; they instill in children a desire to help their mothers in the kitchen and teach them to take care of things.
