Did you do these as a kid? If not, you missed out. Hinky Pinkies are riddles that have two rhyming words as the answer. It’s as fun to make them up as it is to answer them. For example: What is a comical rabbit? You guessed it! It’s a “funny bunny”. Hinky pinkies are a great brain teaser for the whole family, and a highly recommended activity by Jane Healy, the acclaimed author of “Your Child’s Growing Mind: Brain Development and Learning From Birth to Adolescence.” Next time you are in the car or find yourself with a little down time, introduce your kids to a hinky pinky. We bet hat they’ll get addicted right away (and in this case, that’s a good thing!)
