About this word search

Fall is a good season for this list. Leaves change colour, mushrooms push up through the Moss, and squirrels bury nuts for the months ahead. A Fawn is a young deer, born with white spots that fade by its first winter, which is a nice detail for a nature walk.

This grid measures fourteen squares a side, with words running flat, upright or slanted, though never reversed. Fox, Owl and Oak are short and hide easily, so search for Woodpecker and Mushroom first and let the small ones turn up along the way.

After a day in the woods, children can sort the list into things that grow, animals that move and things people made, like the Path and the Cabin. The Ranger fits somewhere in between.
