About this word search

The dairy is the Kiwi corner shop, and for generations of kids it has been the place for a scoop of ice cream, a bag of mixed lollies or a pie from the warmer. Many are run by families and open early and late, seven days a week, selling milk, bread and the newspaper alongside Lotto tickets.

The grid is fourteen by fourteen, with words across, down or diagonally and never backwards. Mixed lollies is the longest with twelve letters, then double scoop with eleven. Milk is the shortest at four. Fizzy drink has a double Z, and the only other Z is in Magazines. Hokey pokey has OKEY twice, so make sure you have the whole word.

Next time you walk to the dairy, bring the sheet and tick off what you can see in the shop. Kids love spotting the pie warmer.
