Under the Sea — printable activity pack
A pack for the child with firm opinions about octopuses. Reefs and rock pools at the younger levels, proper deep water at the older ones, and the theme runs right through the eleven pages rather than sitting on the cover: the word search, the scramble, the crossword, the dot-to-dot and the coloring page are all sea.
Four levels of the same theme — ages 3–5, 6–8, 9–12 and a harder grown-up level — so a mixed-age class or family works on the same puzzles, each at their own level. 11 pages, US Letter PDF, ready to print at home or in a classroom.
One-time payment of US$4 plus any applicable tax. UK & EU/EEA consumers: 14-day right to cancel · Refund & cancellation policy
Pay as a guest — no account needed. You get the Under the Sea pack at the level you pick, as a PDF, straight after checkout, and you can print it as often as you like for your own family or class.
Three pages from this pack
Rendered from the Under the Sea PDF itself, at ages 6–8. The puzzles are generated, so your copy’s grids and maze won’t be these exact ones.
The evening after the aquarium
Print this one the night you get home, while the child still has opinions. ANEMONE and PLANKTON sit in the hardest list precisely because they're the two labels everybody walks past on the way to the sharks, and a word search is a painless way to make a child read them twice. Ages 6–8 is the sweet spot here — OCTOPUS, DOLPHIN and STARFISH are long enough to be satisfying in a grid and familiar enough that nobody needs help. The coloring page is one large round fish, forgiving of hands that don't stay inside lines.

The answer key solves the sudoku, the word search, the word scramble and the crossword. The maze doesn’t have an answer — a maze doesn’t need one.
The words your child will be hunting for
These are the words each level’s puzzles are built from: the word search grid is filled with them and prints them under it as the list to find, the scramble jumbles up to seven of them one per line, and the crossword interlocks as many as will fit. Same theme at every level, different words — that’s what makes a mixed-age table work.
The grown-up level isn’t written separately: it’s the longest words from the 6–8 and 9–12 lists, on a bigger grid and a harder sudoku.
