Large Print Spring Word Search

Bring a little spring indoors with big letters and a cheerful list: tulips and daffodils, a robin on the lawn, blossoms on the trees, a rainbow after a shower and a kite on a windy April day. The words are easy to spot in the large grid, so it suits a garden club meeting, a morning activity at the senior center or a quiet puzzle with a cup of tea by the window.

This edition hides the first 12 of the theme’s 20 words in an 11×11 grid, never backwards. How our large print puzzles work.

All 20 words in this theme: Tulip, Robin, Rainbow, Blossom, Daffodil, Umbrella, Kite, Butterfly, Puddle, Garden, Sunshine, April, Bumblebee, Ladybug, Sprout, Rain Boots, Lilac, Seedling, Equinox, Meadow.

• The American robin is the state bird of Connecticut, Michigan and Wisconsin.
• A rainbow always appears on the side of the sky opposite the sun, so a morning rainbow shows up in the west.
• Butterflies taste with sensors on their feet.

• What was the first flower to come up in your yard each spring?
• Did you have a favorite pair of rain boots or an umbrella as a child?
• Where did you fly kites, and did one ever get stuck in a tree?
• Who in your family had the green thumb?
• Is there a spring tradition your family always kept?

Activity tip: Put a small pot of spring flowers or a few daffodils in the middle of the table. When TULIP or DAFFODIL is found, ask someone to point to a real flower or describe the color they remember.
