Playing Clothes

After washing I ask to squeeze wet clothes. It helps in hand co ordination. Getting clips and numbering 123.

And while folding dried ones by naming whose it is, what dress is it, color etc, it's fun & learning too.

Claire's comment: Thanks so much for this idea! Getting little ones to help do the laundry and have fun at the same time? Yes please!

I love your suggestions about counting while hanging the washing out to dry, as well as talking about the different clothes and who they belong to and what they're like.

Kids just love talking about stuff like this, don't they? It's all good family related conversation, and with some clothes there's quite a lot of detail to talk about... or a favorite story or memory, too.
