How to print and use printable puzzle activities
You can simply download your free word search puzzles, but here are some tips to help you make the most of your printables.
As an adult, you might not find the idea of solving the same word search puzzle multiple times appealing. However, kids frequently enjoy doing the same activity multiple times.
If you want to make the activity reusable, either for an individual child or for repeated use as literacy center activities, laminate the page or slide it into a dry erase pocket. I also like using secure, heavy duty page protectors.
I think heavy duty page protectors are the perfect way to quickly make reusable worksheets. They cost less per page than dry erase pockets and they're easy to keep organized in a three ring binder.

- Crisp Clear View: Showcase documents with diamond clear sheet protectors for 3 ring binder use that offer a polished finish
- Long-Lasting Protection: Thse heavy duty sheet protectors help protect frequently referenced items
Instead of using a wet or dry erase marker, we prefer to use Stabilo Woody 3 in 1 pencils. They write very well and they're easy to wipe off. There's no stink and no ink! They will even wash off white walls. See them in action on this post with Dinosaur coloring pages.
- 30 times more color than a traditional colored pencil with extra color intensity, even on the darkest of papers
- Due to its chunky shape, size and indestructible lead it is perfect for children's hands and promotes a good grip
- The unique multi-talented pencil is a coloring pencil, watercolor and wax crayon all in one
