Laundry – Fox and Cubs Nanny Agency
Laundry piling up? With kids (and maybe a big kid too! 😉), it can feel never-ending. But getting children involvedcan turn it into a fun and helpful learning experience.
Teaching kids to do their own laundry:
✔ Builds responsibility
✔ Saves you time
✔ Helps them appreciate clean clothes
⚠️ Reminder: Keep cleaning products out of reach, and handle delicate fabrics yourself.
Step-by-Step Guide to Kid-Friendly Laundry
🔹 Step 1: Give Each Child a Personal Laundry Basket
🎨 Make it fun—let them decorate their own baskets with paint or fabric!
🔹 Step 2: Teach Responsibility
🛑 Their job? Bring the basket to the washing machine when it’s full.
🔹 Step 3: Sorting Game
🧺 Place labelled baskets near the washer for whites, colours, delicates, etc.
❓ Quiz them on sorting—turn it into a fun challenge!
🔹 Step 4: Laundry Sorting Races!
🏆 Once the clothes are dry, turn sorting into a game:
✔ Who can match the most socks in a minute?
✔ Who folds their clothes the neatest?
🔹 Step 5: Put Clothes Away
📊 Use a reward chart with gold stars for the best-organized drawers!
✨ Good habits start young—this will prepare them for life! ✨
…and just like that, you’re ready to start the laundry cycle all over again! 😅
