2. Easter Word Search
We need to find these words hidden in the grid:
BASKET, BUNNY, CANDY, CARROT, HIDE, HOP, EASTER, EGGS, FIND, GRASS, SPRING, RABBIT

Let’s look for them one by one:

- CANDY → Row 1, letters 4–8 (C-A-N-D-Y)
- HIDE → Row 2, letters 7–10 (H-I-D-E)
- BASKET → Row 3, letters 2–7 (B-A-S-K-E-T)
- EGGS → Row 4, letters 5–8 (E-G-G-S) — wait, actually row 4 has “S P E G S” — let’s check again. Actually, “EGGS” is in row 6, letters 3–6? Wait — better to scan carefully.

Actually, let’s list where each word is found (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally):

✔ CANDY – Row 1, columns 4–8 → C A N D Y
✔ HIDE – Row 2, columns 7–10 → H I D E
✔ BASKET – Row 3, columns 2–7 → B A S K E T
✔ EGGS – Row 4, columns 5–8? Wait — row 4 is “A B S P E G S...” — so “E G G S” isn’t there. Let’s try vertical. Column 9: Row 1=D, Row 2=P, Row 3=R, Row 4=I, Row 5=N, Row 6=G, Row 7=F — not matching. Maybe diagonal? Or maybe “EGGS” is in row 6? Row 6: F T C E A S T E R I N G — no. Wait — perhaps “EGGS” is spelled backward? No, usually forward.

Wait — let’s re-scan the grid properly:

Grid rows:

Row 1: C R H C A N D Y F N D S
Row 2: A A S P F A O H I D E P
Row 3: R B A S K E T O N N B R
Row 4: A B S P E G S P D Y U I
Row 5: S I A R I G R A S S N N
Row 6: F T C E A S T E R I N G
Row 7: C A R R O T I N G T Y F

Now search:

- CANDY: Row 1, positions 4–8 → C(4), A(5), N(6), D(7), Y(8) ✔
- HIDE: Row 2, positions 8–11 → H(8), I(9), D(10), E(11) ✔
- BASKET: Row 3, positions 2–7 → B(2), A(3), S(4), K(5), E(6), T(7) ✔
- CARROT: Row 7, positions 1–6 → C(1), A(2), R(3), R(4), O(5), T(6) ✔
- GRASS: Row 5, positions 6–10 → G(6), R(7), A(8), S(9), S(10) ✔
- EASTER: Row 6, positions 4–9 → E(4), A(5), S(6), T(7), E(8), R(9) ✔
- SPRING: Not obvious. Try column 10: Row 1=N, Row 2=E, Row 3=N, Row 4=Y, Row 5=S, Row 6=I, Row 7=T — no. Diagonal? Maybe not. Wait — “SPRING” might be in row 5? Row 5: S I A R I G R A S S — no. Perhaps vertical? Column 5: Row 1=A, Row 2=F, Row 3=K, Row 4=E, Row 5=I, Row 6=A, Row 7=O — no. Hmm. Maybe we missed it. Let’s skip for now.

Actually, looking at the word list again: “SPRING” may not be in the grid? But it’s listed. Wait — row 5, columns 1–5: S I A R I — no. Column 11: Row 1=D, Row 2=E, Row 3=B, Row 4=U, Row 5=N, Row 6=N, Row 7=Y — that’s “DEBUNNY”? No. Wait — “RABBIT” — let’s find that.

- RABBIT: Column 11, rows 3–8? Row 3 col 11 = B, row 4 col 11 = U, row 5 col 11 = N, row 6 col 11 = N, row 7 col 11 = Y — not rabbit. Maybe horizontal? Row 3 ends with “N N B R” — no. Vertical column 12: all last letters — S,P,R,I,N,G,F — “SPRING”! Yes! Column 12, rows 1–6: S(1), P(2), R(3), I(4), N(5), G(6) → SPRING ✔

So “SPRING” is vertical in column 12, rows 1–6.

- FIND: Row 1, columns 9–12? F(9), N(10), D(11), S(12) — close but ends with S. Row 2: ...I D E P — no. Row 4: ...D Y U I — no. Maybe vertical? Column 10: Row 1=N, Row 2=E, Row 3=N, Row 4=Y, Row 5=S, Row 6=I, Row 7=T — “NENYSIT”? No. Wait — “FIND” might be in row 1, columns 9–12? F,N,D,S — almost. Or maybe diagonal? This is tricky. Let’s assume it’s there — perhaps row 4, columns 9–12: D,Y,U,I — no. Maybe we’ll come back.

Actually, let’s list all confirmed:

Found:
- CANDY (row1, cols4-8)
- HIDE (row2, cols8-11)
- BASKET (row3, cols2-7)
- CARROT (row7, cols1-6)
- GRASS (row5, cols6-10)
- EASTER (row6, cols4-9)
- SPRING (col12, rows1-6)

Still need: BUNNY, EGGS, FIND, HOP, RABBIT

Try “BUNNY”: Look for B-U-N-N-Y. Row 3 ends with “N N B R” — no. Column 11: Row3=B, Row4=U, Row5=N, Row6=N, Row7=Y → B,U,N,N,Y → BUNNY! Yes! Column 11, rows 3–7 ✔

“EGGS”: Look for E-G-G-S. Row 4: ...E G S... — only one G. Row 6: ...E A S T... — no. Column 6: Row1=N, Row2=A, Row3=E, Row4=G, Row5=G, Row6=S, Row7=O → N,A,E,G,G,S,O — so rows 3–6: E,G,G,S → EGGS! Column 6, rows 3–6 ✔

“FIND”: Still missing. Try row 1, cols9-12: F,N,D,S — if we ignore the S, but it’s 4 letters. Maybe “FIND” is in row 2? ...O H I D E — no. Column 9: Row1=F, Row2=I, Row3=N, Row4=D → F,I,N,D → FIND! Column 9, rows 1–4 ✔

“HOP”: Look for H-O-P. Row 2: ...H I D E — no. Row 3: ...T O N — no. Column 8: Row1=Y, Row2=H, Row3=O, Row4=P → Y,H,O,P — so rows 2–4: H,O,P → HOP! Column 8, rows 2–4 ✔

“RABBIT”: We have BUNNY already. RABBIT — R-A-B-B-I-T. Column 1: Row1=C, Row2=A, Row3=R, Row4=A, Row5=S, Row6=F, Row7=C — no. Row 7 starts with C A R R O T — no. Column 2: Row1=R, Row2=A, Row3=B, Row4=B, Row5=I, Row6=T → R,A,B,B,I,T → RABBIT! Column 2, rows 1–6 ✔

Perfect! All words found.

4. Happy Easter Crossword

Clues:

Across:
2. What is the day that Easter comes on? → Sunday (but crossword might expect “SUNDAY” — 6 letters? Grid shows 6 boxes for Across 2? Let’s see grid layout.

Looking at crossword grid:

Across clues:
2. _ _ _ _ _ _ (6 letters) → SUNDAY
5. What do you usually put your eggs that you find in? → BASKET (6 letters? Grid shows 6 boxes? Let’s count: position 5 across — from clue, likely “BASKET”)
6. What do rabbits eat? → CARROTS (7 letters? But grid may vary) — wait, clue says “What do rabbits eat?” — common answer is “CARROTS”, but sometimes “CARROT”. Check grid length.
7. What hatches out of an egg? → CHICK (5 letters)
10. What is round and comes from a chicken? → EGG (3 letters)

Down clues:
1. What animal hides the eggs? → BUNNY (5 letters) or RABBIT (6 letters). Clue says “animal” — both work, but “BUNNY” is more child-friendly.
3. Who is the person that we celebrate on Easter? → JESUS (5 letters) — religious context. Some might say “CHRIST” but “JESUS” fits.
4. What season is Easter in? → SPRING (6 letters)
8. What do you have to do the find the eggs? → HUNT (4 letters) — as in “egg hunt”
9. What is usually inside of plastic eggs? → CANDY (5 letters) or TOYS — but “CANDY” is most common.

Now match to grid.

Assume standard answers:

Across:
2. SUNDAY
5. BASKET
6. CARROT (if 6 letters) or CARROTS — but grid may show 6 boxes for 6? Let’s assume CARROT (6 letters: C-A-R-R-O-T)
7. CHICK
10. EGG

Down:
1. BUNNY
3. JESUS
4. SPRING
8. HUNT
9. CANDY

Check intersections.

For example, Down 1 (BUNNY) intersects Across 2 (SUNDAY) at first letter? If Down 1 starts at top, and Across 2 starts at same square? Need to visualize grid.

Since we don’t have exact grid coordinates, we’ll go with common answers.

Final crossword answers:

Across:
2. SUNDAY
5. BASKET
6. CARROT
7. CHICK
10. EGG

Down:
1. BUNNY
3. JESUS
4. SPRING
8. HUNT
9. CANDY

(Note: Some variations possible, but these are standard.)
