About this word search

Polar bears live in the Arctic, including along the shores of Hudson Bay near Churchill, Manitoba. Penguins live in the southern hemisphere, mostly around Antarctica. The two never meet in the wild, even though they often share a page in picture books. Both are in this puzzle, which gives a good opening for a quick geography lesson.

Polar bear is the longest and a good first find, even with its space removed. Icicle and Mittens have patterns that help too, two c's and two t's. Nothing in this puzzle reads backwards.

Keep it handy for indoor recess on a day when the wind chill keeps everyone in the gym.
