DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Mother's Day Word Ladders

Step through words from MOM to HUG or from GIFT to ROSE with these mother's day word ladder puzzles.

Lewis Carroll, the writer of Alice in Wonderland, invented this word game. It's a terrific exercise for grade school children -- fun and educational!

Print out the worksheet and complete the word ladder listed based on the clues provided.
There are three versions of each puzzle -- the hard version has none of the word ladder filled in, the medium version has two letters of each word filled in and the easy version has three letters of each word filled in.
Change one letter of the word for each rung of the ladder to form a new word -- the clues will help you figure out what the word should be.
Complete all of the rungs of the ladder to complete the puzzle!
