The Engineer and I discovered pretty quickly that our kiddos liked different kinds of puzzles and riddles. That’s probably the way it is in your family too. These riddles are a little different than the play on word type riddle because these include numbers! The answer is a word, sentence or saying which includes numbers in some way. They are still word puzzles because they don’t require any math skills to figure them out.

Super fun, right?

Some of them require a little bit more thought than others but they are a whole lot of fun. I found myself pondering one or two throughout the day and when one “came to me” I nearly shouted it out … in the middle of a meeting!

How to Use These Word Puzzle Lunchbox Notes

Just print them (I like the way bright white card stock looks), cut them, and throw one in your child’s lunch each day. But what if your kiddo isn’t a lunch packer? That’s okay too. Just leave one out on the counter for a little breakfast challenge or tuck it in their backpack for whenever they have some time during the day.

Remember to add a personal touch like a heart or smiley face. Maybe an XOXO from mom. The riddles are fun but it’s also about the connection with home and knowing you’re thinking of them during the day.

Sound good? Great!
