The two-word search page or a full sheet of paper, plus a large child-appropriate crayon.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Open and print the page, or have an adult write four rows of letters: C A T P; O M L Z; S U N R; H T E K. Write CAT and SUN beside the grid as the words to find.
- Look across each row from left to right. Find the letters C-A-T together and point to or circle them.
- Find S-U-N in the same way. Draw a cat and a sun beside the puzzle, or make another grid with a familiar short word.
For children ready to recognize letters with an adult. Offer clues and let the child point instead of circling if preferred.
