About this word search

The corner dairy is part of the Kiwi landscape, with a sandwich board on the footpath, a drinks fridge humming by the door and Eftpos at the counter. For many locals it is where you hear the neighbourhood news, buy a lolly bag after school and grab a steak pie or a sausage roll on the way to work.

This grid is eighteen by eighteen and words can run in all eight directions, backwards included. Sandwich board is the longest with thirteen letters. Mixed lollies and drinks fridge have twelve. Top-up loses its hyphen in the grid and becomes TOPUP, one of five words with only five letters. Ice appears in both ice cream and ice block. The Z turns up only in fizzy drink, twice, and in magazines.

Use it on a long drive or a rainy day with older kids. Afterwards, ask them which dairy treat they would buy and why.
