About this word search
The Buzzy Bee, a pull-along toy with wings that spin and click, became a Kiwi favourite in the baby boom after the war and is still around today. Marbles, kites and skipping ropes take turns in the playground, and a hula hoop or a board game comes out on a wet afternoon.
The grid is fourteen by fourteen, with words across, down or diagonally and never backwards. Skipping rope and rocking horse are the longest at twelve letters. Doll, kite, ball and yo-yo have four each, and yo-yo becomes YOYO in the grid. The double Z of puzzle and Buzzy Bee is rare, so start there.
Ask each child to circle the toys they own and star the one they would like to try. On a rainy day it is a good start for a toy swap.
