101 Fun Word Search Puzzles for Clever Kids 4-8: First Kids Word Search Puzzle Book ages 4-6 & 6-8. Word for Word Wonder Words Activity for Children 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 (Fun Learning Activities for Kids)

I bought this for my grandson. He put down his electronics for it. Enough said!! I like how it progresses in difficulty. He is gaining confidence as he moves along.

My 4 year old just started doing word searches so I got her this book hoping it would work for her age and wouldn’t be too hard. It was a hit! She did like 10 pages in one sitting. It starts off easy and gets harder as the book goes. So the first several pages are just 4 words to find and none of them are diagonal. By page 17 there are diagonals and 5 words to find. The first backwards word is page 33. The number of words increase and by the end there are 12 words to find.I also love that the pages are like normal paper- not that thin newspapery type of paper that is used in a lot of puzzle books. My daughter mainly uses markers for these but if she wanted to use pencils it wouldn’t tear the paper.Just a side tip. I had no idea my 4 year old would be able to understand word searches but what works for her is to look at the first two letters. So for the word “cloud” she looks for a ‘c’ by an ‘l’ and once she find that she sees if there is an ‘o’ next etc until she finds the word. Using this method and understanding the letters have to be next to each other in order she can do them by herself. Diagonals are the trickiest for her but those don’t start until later in the book and will be a good challenge for her.She was super excited for this book and I have a feeling she will go through it pretty quickly!

This book, as the header mentions, offers many different puzzles varying in length, topic, and difficulty. I think it's a good way to build up vocabulary, spelling, and word patterns. Instead of just putting all 101 puzzles out there, it has transition pages as the puzzles become slightly more challenging. Not only that, but the author offers words of encouragement in between puzzles as the kids work their way up. I would have preferred more color from the drawings, but nevertheless, the puzzles do their job. Although the answers are in the back of the book, maybe it would have been better to see them upon request, so that a child is not tempted to look at them right away. Also, if there was another element/dimension to these word puzzles, that would be cool, e.g. a secret word from the puzzle that you get from the hidden words, but just a suggestion. Nevertheless, I'd recommend the book if your child likes word puzzles and as a possible way to strengthen their vocabulary/spelling.

We like to spend one night a week doing things as a family. Sometimes that means board games. Some times, it's all about a good movie and some popcorn. That being said, the little one has been struggling a bit in school with spelling and logic-style thoughts. We looked into how we can make learning more fun and found that puzzles or activity books can be an engaging but subtle way to help with this. The puzzle book came in las t night and we did 5 puzzles together. At first, we aimed for two but they loved it so much - we kept going. This morning, the kiddo asked if we could do 5 more after dinner. I'm thrilled that the kid is enjoying these, thrilled that it is something we can do together, and even more excited that it will help with their puzzle solving ability. Highly recommend this puzzle book for parents of kids who like puzzles, are struggling a bit with thinking things out, or just want something to do.

The word searches were so fun and I got to spend time with my Mom. - 8yr old

This book was great! My neighbor’s kid loves word search puzzles, so this was perfect for him. He likes a challenge and at first was disappointed with how easy the first chapter was. As he advanced to each section, he got more and more involved and really enjoying the book. The themes were varied enough to keep his interest going. He is seven, so I think this book was perfect for the age range of 6-8. I am not sure a 4 or 5-year-old would be able to work these puzzles without some help from mom and dad. Even then, I think for a child so young and just starting to read, this book may be a little over their heads. Overall, the book was a hit. Filled with just the right amount of challenges at the right level for most in the targeted age group.

I am always looking for new and fun activities, with sneaky ways to slide in some learning, for my kindergartener as a supplement to her distance learning program. She loves completion so when I presented her with this word search puzzle book as a prize for her hard work, she was thrilled. She's learning words as she looks for them and I even found her identifying other words as well. This is a great book with large print and a lot of puzzles for a relatively low price. I appreciate that each puzzle has a theme that can be incorporated into other ways of learning and that the puzzles are progressive, pushing the child to try a little harder each time. It was perfect for my 6-year-old.

I think this is a very well organized and put together kids activity book. I love the illustrations of the animals on the cover (as do the kids). I also appreciate the graphics on the inside are black and white because the kids have enjoyed coloring in the pages along with doing the word searches. The words that we have come across so far has been great and are challenging the kids’ spelling but are also words that are in their vocab. HUGE bonus that there’s a key in the back with the answers. It has saved us from a few meltdowns. I can’t wait to continue working through this book with the kids! I wouldn’t change a thing!

It is great. My daughter is 5. I just get this for her. My plan was to have her circle certain letter in the puzzle. Turn out she was able to do it. Its start of with little word which is great. They dont get frustrated to complete it.

Bien organizado y divertido

Nice

Good book to keep a child busy!
