Fall is coming and that means it’s time for a fall word search!
This word search is fun for older children and adults, alike, and comes with two different options: a full color version with fall leaves and a black and white coloring page word search featuring fall and harvest related elements.

Word searches are a easy, no-prep activity that are perfect for rainy days, road trips, and any time you need a new ‘trick’ in your parenting bag. They can also make a fun handout at your school/neighborhood/church fall festival! Pair these printables with some cute fall pencils to turn them into an autumn treat.
Word searches help reinforce vocabulary and spelling skills, plus they can help your child improve their concentration. (And, of course, they’re an enjoyable way for adults to stay sharp, too.)
I’m a big fan of laminating word searches so you can use the same printables year after year. It’s a great way to make the most of your ink! At home laminating machines are super affordable and pay for themselves in 10-20 uses.
If you want an even more economical way to make your worksheets reusable, get a set of dry erase pockets. They’re basically super duty page protectors! You can swap out seasonal worksheets and coloring puzzles so you can use the same set of printables on multiple years/with different children.
- Set of 10 Super heavyweight clear erasable pocket, For papers up to 9" x 12"
- Ideal for work stations - no need to replenish paper - just wipe away and start again
- Write on and wipe off, Go green, Use over and over again, Use low-odor dry erase markers (included)
Both word searches are the same so just pick whichever you prefer! I know how frustrating it is when you’re low on ink and don’t want to print a lot of color, which is why I try to always have a black and white version of my word searches.
