Putting Away Laundry — Turn It Into a Quest

Putting Away Laundry

Putting away laundry teaches kids responsibility and organisation. With PointUp, sorting and folding clothes becomes a rewarding quest instead of a tedious task.

Age-Appropriate Guide

Young (Ages 4–6)

Sort clothes by colour or match socks into pairs. Put folded items into their drawer.

Middle (Ages 7–10)

Fold t-shirts and trousers, sort by family member, and put clothes away in the right place.

Older (Ages 11+)

Full laundry responsibility including folding, hanging, ironing simple items, and organising the wardrobe.

Tips to Make It Fun

  • Start with sock matching — it's like a puzzle game
  • Race the clock: can they fold 10 items in 3 minutes?
  • Let them organise their own wardrobe however they like
  • Use team quests for sorting a big family wash
