About this word search
There is nothing about Christmas in this winter list, which keeps it useful well into February. Penguin and Polar bear give an easy science link, since they live at opposite ends of the world and only meet in picture books and zoos.
Across, down and on the slant are the only directions here, in a grid fourteen squares wide. Polar bear and Earmuffs are the longest. Ski, Ice and Hat are short and can turn up almost anywhere, so check the diagonals before giving up on them.
On a snow day when school is closed, it fills a morning between sledging runs. In class, it makes a calm start to a topic on cold places.
