I know, kids can be quite handy if they want to be and they are likely at the age that helping can be a source of pride. Even if you fold and they put them in the appropriate piles, they can really help.Stephanie Barrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772217449161603561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-82208004276622278252010-05-26T10:22:00.335-06:002010-05-26T10:22:00.335-06:00I like Mandy's trick too (although there's...I like Mandy's trick too (although there's probably a military regulation out there preventing me from using it on Lucas'!).Sadiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042551936789254047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-36212361323785705012010-05-25T16:02:11.692-06:002010-05-25T16:02:11.692-06:00I like your mom's trick Mandy.

She would take a single stitch with colorful embroidery thread in the toe of all the socks in a given package. Then she would pair together the socks of the same age using the color code.<br /><br />Could you assign a color to each of your daughters and make a stitch in the tag / hem / wherever?<br /><br />...or maybe the thought of this makes the idea of your girls putting away their own clothes less complicated. <br /><br />:)MandyE (Twin Trials and Triumphs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02510155408149227364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998204900912962092.post-66662698914338279642010-05-25T11:01:49.963-06:002010-05-25T11:01:49.963-06:00I was going to suggest having them help put away t...I was going to suggest having them help put away the laundry too.

What if you put the piles between the rooms and gave them each a pile for which they're responsible for both identifying owners and putting things away?
