About this word search

A Mole under the lawn is a classic garden nuisance, and the molehills it leaves are often the only sign it is there. Worm and Snail are smaller residents, and both are on this list next to the tools: Hoe, Rake, Spade and Watering can.

Wheelbarrow and Lawnmower are long and easy anchors. The fourteen-square grid places words across, down or diagonally, and all of them read forwards. Hoe is three letters and easy to miss.

In spring, the sheet can go out to the garden with the children. They tick off each thing they spot, and Compost is a good one to explain.
