My goal is always to let/have kids do as much as they are truly capable of! Here are some age-appropriate laundry task ideas. I’d love to hear your ideas!
All ages :
- Gather and sort laundry.
- Turn clothes right side out.
- Pull laundry from the dryer into a laundry basket.
Toddlers:
- Throw (literally, especially if they’re boys) wet laundry into the dryer.
Non-readers/pre-school:
- Load washing machine.
- Empty dryer.
- Match socks.
- Fold towels and washcloths.
- Put small stacks of laundry away.
Readers and those who are tall enough to reach Washer/Dryer Controls:
- Load washing machine.
- Measure laundry soap.
- Start washing machine.
- Move laundry from washer to dryer.
- Fold laundry.
- Match and attach socks.
- Put laundry away.
What other laundry tasks do you have your kids do?
