Words on Wednesday: Rebus Puzzles

In the early days of this blog, I wrote about the first word puzzle I remember. It was a rebus puzzle, and a pretty smart one for an 8-year-old to tackle.

For this week's edition of Words on Wednesday, I've found a website chock full of similar puzzles. Pages and pages of them. These are great to challenge kids and help them think about words and phrases, or to challenge yourself -- some are a cinch but some are quite tricky.

Here are a few I grabbed as examples. I'll throw the answers into the comments.
