While I was folding laundry one day (trust me, that's a rare and memorable occasion!), I ended up with a bunch of mismatched socks. Some of the socks hadn't made it into the wash yet so that's why I had so many incomplete pairs. I thought J might have fun trying to hang some socks to practice doing laundry while I continued to fold the rest of the laundry.

| The "laundry basket." |
I tied the string to two chairs in my dining room to make the clothesline for this activity. I then pinned one sock to the clothesline.

| The invitation to hang socks. |
Opening clothespins is still quite challenging for J so he found this activity a little difficult. Nonetheless, he still managed to hang a few, but with some assistance from me.

It turns out he likes laundry about as much as I do (OK, I am good at washing it, but not folding or putting it away). J did this activity for maybe ten minutes before getting completely bored. Maybe if I had numbered the socks he would have enjoyed this activity more...
Jack would love this. Because he likes the "sock game" on Daddy's phone. It's a clothesline with socks and then you find the matching sock to make pairs. I get Jack to help do that all the time, but the clothesline would make it more fun!
ReplyDeleteThe clothesline would definitely make it more fun!
