On this edition of The Children’s Hour, we get puzzled by the world’s most syndicated daily puzzle maker, David L. Hoyt, author of the Jumble Puzzle found in more than 600 newspapers every day, worldwide. We’ll create a puzzle together during the show that kids can play!  Plus we learn about the Doomsday Seed Vault from our friends at the Extinction Diaries.

David L. Hoyt has created a special webpage for Children’s Hour listeners to dig in deeper, and get puzzled. This site includes the puzzle we created together on this episode:  https://www.davidlhoyt.com/childrenshour

For KUNM listeners, we also hear from kids in Mrs. Charles’ 2nd grade classroom, who will teach us about the first Hispanic astronaut, Ellen Ochoa. Listen to their work right here:
