Nature & Elements
An echo
What has keys but can't open locks?
A piano
The more you take, the more you leave behind.
Footsteps
What has to be broken before you can use it?
An egg
If you drop me I'm sure to crack, but give me a smile and I'll always smile back.
A mirror
I'm tall when I'm young, and I'm short when I'm old.
A candle
I'm full of holes, yet I can hold water.
A sponge
What gets wetter as it dries?
A towel
What belongs to you, but other people use it more than you do?
Your name
I'm found in socks, scarves, and mittens; and often in the paws of playful kittens.

The more of this there is, the less you see.
Darkness
What has a head, a tail, but no body?
A coin
What can you break, even if you never pick it up or touch it?
A promise
What is always in front of you but can't be seen?
The future
What has many keys but can't open a single lock?
A keyboard
What can travel around the world while staying in the same spot?
A stamp
I have branches, but no fruit, trunk, or leaves.
A bank
I'm light as a feather, yet the strongest person can't hold me for five minutes.
Your breath
What comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years?
The letter "M"
What runs around the yard without moving?
A fence
What has cities, but no houses; forests, but no trees; and rivers, but no water?
A map
What's full of holes but still holds a lot of weight?
A net
What can you catch but not throw?
A cold
What has legs but doesn't walk?
A table
What has a thumb and four fingers but is not alive?
A glove.
