About this word search
Young children often know what a Vet does long before they can read the word. Start by acting out each job, a stirring motion for Chef or arms spread like wings for Pilot, and let your child guess before you show the written word.
Nothing is hidden on a slant or back to front, which leaves just two places to check for every job, flat along a line or hanging straight down. Vet is the shortest, so run a finger across each row looking for the letter V, which turns up rarely.
A box of dress-up clothes makes a natural next step once all ten jobs are found.
