After playing and building Potato Heads with my own two kids, I brainstormed an addition game to play with my first graders. (School seems to always be on the brain!) Enjoy the free download for your classroom by clicking on the wonderful creation my kids made for Mrs. Potato Head's photo shoot! I would love to hear from you if you download the game by leaving me a comment!

I think that is very clever. What a way to incorporate the Potato Heads into addition. I now have a new math work station. Thank you for sharing.

What a creative idea! Love it! I am SO using this with my firsties! Just put out a plea on my facebook to see if my friends/family have Potato Heads to donate to my class. (Wish I had kept my kids'! We used to have tons!). Thanks for sharing!!

I love your idea. I am going to buy a couple of potato heads for my second grade classroom and modify a bit. Thanks for sharing.

Terrific idea! Kids will really love this! For an extra challenge, kids could try to add up all the parts on their completed potato heads.

Going to look for Potato Heads today! Wonderful idea, thanks for sharing!
What a cute idea! I don't know if I can afford enough Potato Heads for a center but I'll keep in in mind. Thanks for the freebie, I teach at a Title One school and really have no budget for supplies and the families can't afford to buy anything so the teachers wind up buying everything from pencils to hand sanitizer. These things tend to take priority over the units I dream about on TpT. Moral of the story; the free downloads are much appreciated!
Very cute! Now I wonder if my kids will miss their potato heads.....
I love love love this! I can't wait to try it out. I am a new follower.
Thanks for sharing...I was also wondering if my kids would miss their potato head!
This is the cutest idea ever! Thanks for sharing. Went right out and looked for some potato heads. Kmart has the extra potato heads for $7.50 right now. I know what I'll be looking for at garage sales. :)
How fun! I will be using it with my k kids when we do addition next spring. Thank you for sharing. amy

I love this idea! Wish I had snagged that Potato Head at the thrift store last week, there were two heads in the bag and tons of body parts.
What a wonderfully motivating math game! Thanks so much for sharing!
