I wanted to make a word find puzzle for Abigail and found these instructions, Making a Word Find With Microsoft Excel, but they tell you to type in your own random letters to fill in the rest of the blocks. This would be tedious so I added a random letter function and created this template:
File Attachment: Word Find.xlt (48 KB)
To use it, copy the letters from the random worksheet and paste special/values only, onto one of the word find worksheets then make a word list and type the words on top of the random letters. Chnge the header and print.
There are programs that do this of course but this is fine for a four-year-old.

Abigail did a find-a-word puzzle on her own for the first time today. It was on the placemat at the Town Diner. We were all just sitting having lunch when suddenly Abby exclaimed “Tomato!” and circled it. Then she found “burger” (instead of hamburger which she didn’t recognize. If it had said veggie burger she would have gotten it), “salt,” “soda,” and “noodle.” Okay, probably too much information but it was so exciting to watch.
The burger reminds me of another story. We have a very old plastic toy car that Ilyse got from McDonalds when she was a kid. The Hamburglar is driving it. Abby was looking for it the other day and when we asked her which car she wanted she said “the one with the Gardenburglar.”
Took my first run of the season up and down the river between North
Beacon Street and Watertown Square and was happily surprised to find
the Charles River Road playground has been beautifully renovated.
I also spotted a nice mountain bike wheel with knobby tire hanging on a
tree, a digital watch perched on another tree, lots of hubcaps,
Community Rowing rowers stretching at the ice rink, and lots of ducks
and geese.
