A great place to start kids on a cleaning path.

My kids love to get the laundry out of the dryer and put it on my bed. They are small and it takes them a few trips to get 1 load transported. Recently, I put a stool in our laundry room and am now letting them move the clothes from the washer to the dryer. They think this is great fun, so why not teach them early?

I have started explaining to my oldest child, who is 5, how to sort now. It’s fun for her to sit in there and pick out the different colors. We make a pile for whites, darks, and the rest. Kids love sorting and learn from it- so why not get a bit of labor out of them?

We’re going to start working on folding things now and I hope to have all 3 kids doing their own laundry in the next year or two.
