Dropped Artist's Studio Word Search April Fool's Day Puzzle

New April Fool's Day Piggy-Back Joke: "Dropped" Artist's Studio Word Find Puzzle March-30-2009
New, Messier Version!
I have always wanted to create a "dropped memo" kind of April Fool's Joke, where a seemingly normal-looking office memo gets 'accidentally' dropped on the floor and when it's picked up, all the words on the memo are scattered and messed up on the page as if they could be so easily displaced. ...

 

Artist's Studio Word Search April Fool's Day Puzzle

New Printable April Fool's Day Joke: Artist's Studio Word Find Puzzle March-28-2009
With "Unfindable" Words!
Here's a new addition to my "World's Hardest Puzzles" series: Artist's Studio Word Search #3 which you can download and print (PDF) free just in time for April Fool's Day.

Why is this puzzle a great April Fool's Day joke? Because your victim won't be able to find the words! They may, however, see the "April Fools" embedded clearly in the puzzle. Great for kids and puzzle enthusiasts. Enjoy, and see my other April Fool's Day gags for a happy safe joke-making April Fool's Day! •

Printable Word Search Puzzle #9
Easter Sunday falls on April 19 this year, so if you're looking for some creative puzzle-doing while waiting for the egg hunt to begin, try my brand-new 'Chickly Eggcellent' Easter brain-strengthening word search puzzle from the Creativity Portal Playground (kids.creativity-portal.com).
