About this word search

Wheelbarrow and Lawnmower are the longest words here, and both are things many kids want to push around the backyard. Compost is a good one to explain, kitchen scraps and leaves that break down into rich soil over a few months.

No word runs backwards, though some sit on a diagonal. Watering can is written without a space. Hedge and Shed share the letters H, E and D, which can lead you down the wrong path.

Then carry the page out the back door and count how many of the twenty things are in your own yard or a nearby park.
