About this word search
Fairy bread is about as Australian as a children's party gets: white bread, butter and a thick layer of hundreds and thousands, cut into triangles. It shares this list with the Lolly bag that goes home at the end, a round of Musical chairs and a Piñata waiting to be whacked open.
Two-word entries such as Happy birthday and Wrapping paper sit in the grid as single lines, and any word can run backwards or on the diagonal. Jelly, Icing and Games are short and easy to overlook among the longer runs, so check them off before you call it finished.
For a sleepover, the older kids can race in pairs, with the winners choosing the next game.
