About this word search
Fun Ho! toys, cast from metal in Inglewood in Taranaki, are collector's items now, and a homemade trolley built from planks and old pram wheels has sent many Kiwi kids flying down a hill. The Buzzy Bee, the pogo stick and the kaleidoscope are classics that parents and grandparents remember too.
This grid is eighteen by eighteen and words can run in all eight directions, backwards included. Skipping rope, rocking horse, kaleidoscope and jack-in-the-box have twelve letters each. Fun Ho is only five letters in the grid and easy to lose. Doll, kite, ball and yo-yo have four. The J of jigsaw and jack-in-the-box and the double Z of puzzle and Buzzy Bee are good places to start.
Use it at a family gathering: older relatives say which toys they had, and the kids search for those first.
