No Need To Be A CHICKEN When Learning Multiple Addend Addition ... This EGG Carton Game Makes It FUN!

***UPDATED WITH 2 ADDENDS!!***
Good Evening All!  It has been a while since I have posted an entry about one of my little "DIY" games, SOOOO I thought I would get "crackin'!"  

Using egg cartons is an EGG-celent way to make number recognition and addition fun.  This post focuses on adding 3 & 4 addends, but my little 4 year old uses it for number recognition.  My daughter, Violet, was really hamming it up for the camera in a couple of these shots.  

What you need:
Pom Pom Puff Ball Thingies {1 per addend}
An Egg Carton
Labels {or paper taped} With Desired Numbers
Place the puffballs inside the egg carton and give it a shake {or two!}
Open it up and see where they landed...
Write your number sentence & solve. If students can't solve in their head, they can draw dots or use manipulatives. 
Close and shake again for more math FUN!!
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!! {She really said that! She's my biggest fan!}
WHAT?!?! FOUR addends!!!! {What a goof!}
It proved to be simple for her!
