I pulled my basket of clean towels into the living room with the
intent of folding and guiding my 2 year old, Little S, through sorting & folding.
What better way to learn folding than with a washcloth!
We had just started, and only got as far as talking about what we were about to tackle,
when I got called away to the other room. This happens a lot with 5 kids :)
Upon coming back to the living room, I had forgotten what I had been
pulled from...until my eyes feel upon an empty laundry basket! I gasped!! And
proclaimed loudly,"Where are the towels?" As I turned toward the kitchen I saw it...
A pile of towels, billowing out of the drawer
where i keep kitchen washcloths and towels. Again I gasped...starting to say, "who..." Then I caught
Little S's questioning face. I smiled, knowing exactly
what had happened! She exclaimed proudly, "I did it!"
Indeed she had! Every towel from the basket crammed and piled high over her head. She must have worked so hard.
We started pulling swim towels out and I realized that under the mess, she had indeed gotten the white washcloths all piled in the correct spot & the blue ones in the appropriate spot!!
Well done Little S! This is a great way to learn
sorting and folding!
