Simply write your words out, one letter in each square. You can write them across, down, diagonally, or even backwards. Then, fill in the rest of the puzzle with random letters. Now it\u2019s ready to solve! You can make these for your child or they can have a go at creating their own for their friends to solve instead.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading aofl-mb-3rem-padding aofl-advice-subheading\" id=\"crossword\"><strong>35.<\/strong> <strong>Craft a Crossword Puzzle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"aofl-mb-3rem-padding has-text-color\" style=\"color:#01075f;line-height:1.5\">Crossword puzzles can be a little more challenging to create, since the goal is to have words overlap in multiple places. Still, graph paper can make the process a bit easier. Once the words are in place, number the squares and develop the clues for each one. Finally, make a blank version of the grid for your player to solve.<br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image mini-reg-modal\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"539\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ABCmouse-App-Desktop.png\" alt=\"ABCmouse #1 learning app for kids! \" class=\"wp-image-30568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ABCmouse-App-Desktop.png 539w, https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ABCmouse-App-Desktop-294x300.png 294w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover aofl-printable-bottom-banner\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"928\" height=\"448\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-9587\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Placeholder-Image-2.png\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Placeholder-Image-2.png 928w, https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Placeholder-Image-2-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Placeholder-Image-2-768x371.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 928px) 100vw, 928px\" \/><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color\"><strong>Looking for More Fun Activities?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-b5994976 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button printable-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-align-center wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/category-activities\"><strong>See All ABCmouse Activities<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading aofl-advice-post-heading\">Related Activities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/query\" data-wp-key=\"9\" data-wp-router-region=\"query-9\" class=\"wp-block-query is-layout-flow wp-block-query-is-layout-flow\"><ul style=\"color:#01075f; letter-spacing:0.5px;\" class=\"columns-3 aofl-advice-profile-posts wp-block-post-template has-text-color is-layout-grid wp-container-core-post-template-is-layout-6d3fbd8f wp-block-post-template-is-layout-grid\"><li data-wp-key=\"post-template-item-83499\" class=\"wp-block-post post-83499 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-activities tag-activities tag-crafts tag-science\">\n<figure class=\"alignwide wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1232\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ABCmouse-STEM-Catapult-Activity-9.png\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"Completed craft stick catapult made with craft sticks, rubber bands, and a bottle cap\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ABCmouse-STEM-Catapult-Activity-9.png 1232w, https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ABCmouse-STEM-Catapult-Activity-9-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ABCmouse-STEM-Catapult-Activity-9-1200x670.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/ABCmouse-STEM-Catapult-Activity-9-768x429.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1232px) 100vw, 1232px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<h2 style=\"color:#01075f;\" class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-7b72746bac6729e02a2f51c7a3eb9984 wp-block-post-title has-text-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.abcmouse.com\/learn\/activities\/kids-science-experiment-how-to-build-a-simple-catapult\/83499\" target=\"_self\" >Kids Science Experiment: How to Build a Simple Catapult<\/a><\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"color:#01075f;\" class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-8865bb1071a46029123d76d0d8967a9f wp-block-post-excerpt has-text-color\"><p class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Build a craft stick catapult in this fun STEM activity for kids.
