Playing tips and a fun fact

Start with the small objects: CUP, LID, and POT are compact names that are easy to hold in mind while scanning. Longer tools such as COLANDER have distinctive letter combinations, which can be useful landmarks on a busy grid. With a group, ask what job a found object performs and welcome more than one answer.

A colander lets liquid drain through its holes while larger pieces stay inside. A sieve can do a similar job with a much finer mesh. That comparison makes an interesting conversation about kitchen design. After the puzzle, sketch a drawer organizer or arrange a paper place setting, giving each object enough room to be picked up comfortably.

Ideas to extend the activity

  • Draw a well-organized utensil drawer.
  • Match tools to simple kitchen jobs.
  • Arrange a paper place setting.
