Well I never!! I would have thought that would be a dangerous thing to throw, sharp edges and seeds blowing in peoples' eyes etc.

Did he choose that one?

If this is a brain bender type question then there is probably no "right" answer.

There used to be a big box called Think Lab at the school where I worked and that was full of interesting puzzles for kids to think about. The questions were often the sort of activity like "How many uses can you think of for a brick?" and it was all down to the imagination of the child.

Oh Cougar, I really like Blessings. I would have said bread crumbs or rice paper, but then the pigeon cr*p would be awful. Definitely like blessings.

Although I think telling your son is kinda cheating and not the point of the exercise (yup I really am that kind of kill joy. When helping my nephew and nieces with homework I will help them move towards the answer but won't tell them it). ie. "What do you get when you go to church" mmmhmm I'm a meanie

ETA I did PMSL at water... can just imagine the brides face. I bet at least one child will say that.

....I would opt for rice crispies....(as that is what they are...rice)

Alternately..popcorn could be fun
