Helping with normal day-to-day activities such as laundry sorting and folding can be thrilling for toddlers and helps them develop independence, fine and gross motor skills, and category understanding. The laundry basket can also be used for imaginative play (my little one loves to sit in there with her toys and organise them). When folding laundry, set up the basket on the floor, and let your toddler know they can help if they'd like. You can see if they can find certain pieces of clothing, pull out a certain colour, or just generally play with the clothing. Your child may imitate what you're doing and ask what certain things are. Continue to engage them as they explore this activity, and allow them to use the laundry basket for play time afterwards. Making the mundane exciting for your little one is not only fun for them but can make the chore of doing laundry a sweet way to connect with your child.
