Like many people, I've always partial to fall (or "autumn," if you want to sound a little classier).

In fact, we got married in October, partly for that reason.

Leaves, pumpkins, costumes, apples, corn on the cob, a light breeze ... these are some of the things that we autumn fans love about the season.

Word searches are a great printable activity for parents and teachers (of which I am both) to have up their sleeve at all times.

Hanging out in the doctor's waiting room? Kids finish an assignment earlier than you expected? Just whip out a pen or pencil (or, ideally, a highlighter), and pass these out.

And if you're like me, you might want to do one yourself.

There are two October word search puzzles below, with two difficulty levels, so there's something for kids of all ages.

There are either 14 or 18 hidden words, depending on the puzzle.

There's also both a color and a black and white version for each one, so you can choose the one that best fits your needs (and your printer).
