Two 1-Line Elephant Riddles for a 9-Year-Old — Fun, Easy Brain Teasers

Here are two one-line elephant riddles for a 9-year-old:

1. Riddle 1: I have big ears and a long nose, but I never get a cold — what am I?
2. Riddle 2: I can squirt water but I never wash dishes — what am I?

Hints and a simple step-by-step way to solve them:

1. Read the clue words: "big ears," "long nose," and "squirt water." Think of animals you know with those features.
2. Picture the animal: which animal uses a trunk to drink and spray water?
3. Match the picture to the clue — that gives you the answer.

Answers (try to guess before you read):

1. Riddle 1 answer: An elephant.
