Both my lo's love helping with the laundry. We start upstairs, I pile the laundry on the floor they throw it down the stairs. then we go down stairs and they throw it down to the basement where the washer is. Then I sort it and they put it into the washer(top loader) when that is done I hand them the clothes they put it into the dryer and the best part they get to push the button. Dd likes to help fold, ds likes to throw it around the room.
