About this word search

Kazoo, Pogo stick and Hula hoop have names that are fun just to say out loud. Kaleidoscope is the long one, built from Greek roots, and Jack-in-the-box describes exactly what happens when you turn the handle long enough.

Every direction counts in this grid. Jack-in-the-box, Kaleidoscope and Kazoo all start with rare letters, so they turn up fast. Walkie-talkie has two K's, and Bowling pins hides a W near the start.

Nostalgic grown-ups can compare with the kids, marking the toys they once had and the ones a child today has never seen.
