One of today's free puzzle pages (another coming later!) is a type of puzzle called a Fill In. This page contains 4 mini fill ins with an animal theme. It is the solvers job to figure out how to fill each grid with the names of the animals shown.
Some tips for solving these:
1) Write out all the animal names next to their pictures.
2) Count the number of letters in each word.
3) Find blank spaces long enough to fit each word.
4) Sometimes there will be only one word of a certain length, so you can be sure where it will go in the grid.
5) Once you have some words placed, look for connecting letters which can give you clues to other words.
6) Check your spelling! (This might cause frustration for younger solvers!)
If your kids liked this puzzle, I do have another one available for free on the Freebies/Fill-Ins page. It is a food themed puzzle. Actually, if you click that link, you will find a ton of Fill In puzzles ready to print and play!
The cute little animal drawings on this page are from one of my favorite clip artists, Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Designs! She makes very clear images that I think are easy for kids to understand. I hope you enjoy this puzzle and the clip art too!
