About this word search
Penguin and Polar bear show up in winter puzzles everywhere, though the two never meet in the wild. Penguins live in the Southern Hemisphere and polar bears in the Arctic, a good fact to share once both are found.
Words go along rows, down columns and on the diagonal, and none is flipped. Polar bear is the longest and a good place to start. Icicle and Ice begin the same way, so when you spot I, C and E together, check whether the word keeps going.
A copy fits well with a mug of Cocoa after sledding. Children can pick the three words that best describe their own snow day.
