Easy fall word search

After a woodland walk, young children can look for leaf, acorn, owl and kite here. Ten short fall words, each one running straight across or down in a small ten by ten grid, so nobody gets stuck.

About this word search

Kite is a word that surprises some parents on a fall list, but windy October days are good kite weather. Owl, Acorn and Leaf belong to the woods, and Boots to the muddy path in between.

Start with Apple and Acorn, which both begin with A. Find each A in the grid and look only to its right and below it. That is the whole rule, which keeps things calm for a child who is just learning letters.

Collect a few real leaves and acorns afterward and lay them next to the page. Matching object to word helps the new words stick.
