Laundry Day Fun!
While I was tackling the laundry this afternoon, Emily did some of her own. Somehow her laundry was a lot more fun than mine! Special thanks to Elise of Inspiration Surrounds… Creativity Abounds for reminding me of this fabulous activity. When I was a little girl, our family gave my cousin a play laundry set much like this one, and she absolutely loved it! Emily also enjoyed hers very much!
We gathered items we already had around the house: some buckets, clothes pins, a few yards of laundry line, a tiny version of a laundry basket, and a box of play laundry soap made from an empty Jell-O box. I sewed a small drawstring bag to keep the line, pins, and play laundry soap in. I stamped the words “wash day” on it using a fabric-safe ink pad. We used bubble bath instead of laundry detergent, and it worked very well!
This was so much fun, and kept Emily well occupied while I got my own laundry done!
She was so proud of herself, and she keeps going outside to see if her laundry has dried yet!
