Easy spring word search
Lamb, calf, bee and a tūī in the kōwhai tree: ten short spring words in a ten by ten grid. Every word runs straight across or straight down, never backwards.
- Bee
- Bud
- Calf
- Daffodil
- Kōwhai
- Lamb
- Nest
- Rain
- Tūī
- Tulip
This is the same puzzle as on the printable sheet. Every word you find turns green and is crossed off the list.

About this word search
When spring comes to New Zealand in September, farms are full of lambs and calves, daffodils flower in the garden and tūī sing in the kōwhai trees. It is a busy, noisy season, just right for little ones learning new words.
Daffodil is the longest word, with eight letters, and Kōwhai has six. Bee, Tūī and Bud have only three letters each. In the grid the macrons disappear, so look for TUI and KOWHAI. All words run left to right or top to bottom in the ten by ten grid.
After the puzzle, children can draw a spring picture with a lamb, a bee and a kōwhai tree, and write the words next to them.
