I am taken from a mine and shut up in a wooden case. When I am needed, I am thrown away. What am I?
The answer is "a pencil!"
Explanation:
📝 Imagine a pencil being taken from a mine where graphite is found, and then it’s placed inside a wooden case – the pencil itself! When we need to use the pencil, we sharpen it, and as we do so, we throw away the shavings. Those shavings are what we needed and used! 😄🎉 So, the pencil is playfully teasing us, saying "Hey, you only need me for my shavings! But don’t worry, I’ll be here whenever you need to jot down something!" 📏✏️

What type of diet did the snowman go on?
The snowman went on a "low-carb" diet! ❄️🥕
Explanation:
Snowmen are made of snow, so they are essentially made up of frozen water. Therefore, since they don’t have a body like humans, they can’t go on a traditional diet. But if we were to imagine that the snowman could go on a diet, it would be a "low-carb" diet because they don’t want to consume anything that could potentially melt them, like carbohydrates. It’s a playful way to think about the eating habits of a snowman! ❄️🥕😄

Explanation: This answer plays with the double meaning of "king" in the question, incorporating the ruler (the measuring tool) as the humorous king of the classroom.

I am taken from a mine and shut up in a wooden case. When I am needed, I am thrown away. What am I?
Short Answer: A pencil! ✏️
Explanation: The answer to the riddle is a pencil. Pencils are made from graphite, which is mined from the earth. They are then encased in a wooden body. When we need to use a pencil, we sharpen it and eventually throw away the worn-out tip. It’s a funny cycle of taking something from nature, enclosing it in wood, and eagerly tossing it aside when it becomes too short to use. 🌳🤷♀️ But hey, that’s why we always have a bunch of pencils lying around! So, remember to keep your creativity flowing and your pencils sharpened! Happy writing! 🎉📝
