Directions:
1. Cut the lid off of your egg carton.
2. Paint the egg carton blue. Set it aside to dry.
3. Once the paint is dry, decorate the outside of the egg carton with foam ocean animal stickers.
If you don’t have stickers, you can cut sea animals out of construction paper
and glue them to the carton.
4. Write the numbers 1-12 on the inside bottom of each egg cup.

• Use the carton to practice counting with your child!
   Count out the correct number of fish crackers for
   each egg cup. For example, count out 1 fish
   and place it in the cup labeled “1,” 2 fish for the
   “2” cup, and so on.
• To practice addition, play this simple game:
   - Start with your egg carton empty.
   - Roll two dice. Place that number of fish in the
      egg cups. (For example, if you roll a 4 and a 2,
      place 4 fish in the “4” cup and 2 fish in the
      “2” cup.)
   - Count your fish to see how many you have in all.
   - Clear out your egg carton “ocean” and roll again!
