What’s inside

  • A cover with Grandma’s or Grandpa’s name, or a title like “Nana’s Puzzle Book”, in one of four colors.
  • A dedication page signed from the grandkids, with your own message.
  • Then the puzzles: up to 8 word searches, up to 5 fill-ins, scrambles, a crossword if you add 6 or more clues, an answer key and gift tags, about 20 to 30 large print pages in all.

Word ideas

  • Grandchildren: every grandchild and great-grandchild, with nicknames like BUBBA or LITTLE JOE
  • Their life: hometown (PAWTUCKET), the street they raised the family on (ELM STREET), the car they loved (BEL AIR)
  • Favorites: their team (RED SOX), card games (CRIBBAGE), garden flowers (PEONIES)
  • Crossword clues: “Where Grandpa proposed” = CONEY ISLAND, “Grandma’s famous pie” = RHUBARB

Easy to pick up

Every answer is a name or a place they know, so even someone who hasn't done a word search in years can find the first word quickly. If small print is a struggle, choose extra large print.

Questions & answers

Is it easy for an older person to read?

The text is 16 to 20 point and the word search grids are 13 by 13 with roomy squares. Extra large print uses 11 by 11 grids for even bigger letters.

Can the grandkids help make it?

Yes. Let each grandchild choose a few words or write a crossword clue about Grandma or Grandpa, and sign the dedication page from all of them.
