Spring word search puzzles
Blossoms, rain showers, seedlings and returning birds: these spring word searches put the whole season of renewal into letter grids. A March-to-May classroom favorite, and a fine excuse to stay at the table a little longer on a rainy afternoon.
Play a grid online below, or print a batch with solutions — level 1 keeps everything across and down for young readers, level 3 lets the words swirl like petals in the wind.
