Time to do the washing? Use the chance for your kid to help you sort some clean clothes.
MATERIALS NEEDED
Clean Laundry
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Start by asking your kid to help you sort your clean washing; this could be by color, size, or the person it belongs to, for example.
2. Once you finish sorting all the clothes, create a new rule and ask them to sort the clothes by type (shirts, underwear, trousers and so on).
3. Now, ask your kid to sort some clothes without telling you what their sorting rule is – can you guess what it is?
WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT
Throughout the activity with ongoing new requirements, your kid is exercising intensely their cognitive flexibility skills.
