Currently at the stage where I have to check the front-loading washer and dryer for any extra items that my toddler helpfully added between loads 😉 But I’m looking forward to this stage too!
My favorite part to offload is sorting *folded* laundry into the correct laundry baskets and putting them away!! That seems to be my least favorite part of the process lol.
I actually don’t have any of my kids fold independently bc I’m just too OCD about the end result. I mean, I even re-fold some of the things my dear mother folds for me! 😝 it’s all about how it’ll all fit back into the drawers and the kids don’t have that coordination yet. Maybe when they’re teens … ! And I also took back putting clothes into the washer, because again, I have very specific stain treatment protocols and I have found my success with stain removal is massively increased when I pre-treat it myself immediately before washing.
But the sorting, toting, and putting away are the kids’ domain for now!
My 7yo announced a few months ago that he wanted to do his own laundry. He refuses to allow anyone else's clothes in his load, but he does it from dirty basket to clean in the drawer so as much as it pains be to see such small loads it's worth it 😉

My oldest son (8) and middle daughter (2) are so helpful with the laundry! 💗
It’s definitely a great place to start with teaching your children housework.
I am loving the artwork you include with each post; where do you find it all?
I just do a search for them... so far it's been turning up some gems 🥰
I'm glad you are enjoying!
