Cozy Fireplace Riddles for Story Nights

I crackle softly while logs turn to stories. What am I?

I swing shut to keep embers where they belong. What am I?

I cradle split logs beside knit slippers. What am I?

I perch on the mantel holding countdown candles. What am I?

I stir coals until they whisper one more spark. What am I?

I rest on the hearth offering seats to chilly toes. What am I?

I scent the room with cedar whenever the flame sighs. What am I?

I display family photos glowing in amber light. What am I?

I count how many mugs of cocoa land nearby. What am I?

I hide the matches so grownups must ask first. What am I?

I creak open so smoke can escape safely. What am I?

I shimmer above the fire reflecting cozy scenes. What am I?

I signal bedtime when only soft orange crumbs remain. What am I?

I gather ash so tomorrow starts clean. What am I?

I purr whenever the room needs extra heat. What am I?
