About these pregnancy announcement riddles
These riddles have a special job: sharing happy news in a way that makes people smile before they understand it. The answers are the familiar words around a new baby, like bun in the oven, stork, due date, ultrasound, baby bump, crib and lullaby. The best ones lead the listener slowly toward the surprise, such as the riddle about something "preheated for a special treat, something sweet that isn't to eat."
They are written with adults in mind, so they suit parents-to-be planning a reveal for grandparents, siblings, friends or coworkers. Older children can also enjoy solving one to learn they are getting a new brother or sister. Most are easy, and that is the point: you want the guess to happen, just not too fast.
Ways to use them
- Put a riddle card in a gift box for the future grandparents, with a tiny pair of booties tucked underneath.
- Print one on the back of a family photo and ask relatives to solve it before they read the due date.
- Let an older sibling read a riddle to the family at dinner, with "baby" as the final answer.
