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