First Puzzles: Picture Clue Crosswords

by Patrick Merrell

Instead of words as clues, every crossword puzzle here features child-friendly and appealing images. All the crosswords have themes, too. “Around the Yard” deals with things that might be found in a neighborhood (like cars, fences, flowers, and trees). “Grocery Shopping” has milk, bread, orange juice, and other food, along with one non-food item for children to pick out and circle. As they recognize each object, kids can practice newly acquired writing and spelling skills by filling in the grid.
