Learn Dutch: Hospital Things – Picture Crossword for Kids

Here your child turns pictures into written Dutch words. The clue drawings show the beds, bandages and stethoscopes, and your child works out what each one is called in Dutch before placing every letter in its own box. That careful spelling builds a feel for how Dutch words are written, while naming the pictures grows real Dutch vocabulary. At the crossings the shared letters have to agree, which is a friendly little self-check: if they do not line up, the spelling needs a second look. Your child can erase and try again as often as they like, because nothing is being raced or counted. Free to print or to play online, it lets a beginner meet their first words in Dutch one drawing at a time.

In this picture crossword your child names the beds, bandages and stethoscopes in Dutch and spells each word into the boxes. Dutch vocabulary and spelling get a quiet workout at once, because the shared letters at the crossings have to agree. Let your child puzzle at their own pace — there is no clock and no score, only the pleasure of each Dutch word spelled correctly. Once a word is solved, it hints at the next, and the grid fills in piece by piece. That way a first taste of Dutch feels like a cheerful little puzzle your child gets to discover all by themselves. Dutch likes to join small words together, so a single word can grow surprisingly long.
