Cameron loves to help me! He loves doing the laundry, wiping down our sliding doors, and sweeping up the kitchen. I am so lucky to have such a helpful little guy! So today, I teamed up with CleverMade to bring you tips for making laundry fun with your toddler!
CleverMade is an innovative collapsible tote bag. We have been enjoying using both our SnapBasket LUXE Tote in Navy Striped and Laundry Basket LUXE in Heather Gray/Charcoal. The Laundry Basket has been so nice to have because I can fold it up when we are not using it and store it on top of my dryer. It also fits tons of laundry! Especially lots of big towels!
If you haven’t heard of CleverMade they are an innovative brand that makes smarter products for easier living! We have been enjoying using both our SnapBasket LUXE Tote in Navy Striped and Laundry Basket LUXE in Heather Gray/Charcoal. The Laundry Basket has been so nice to have because I can fold it up when we are not using it and store it on top of my dryer. It also fits tons of laundry! Especially lots of big towels!
Here are my three tips for making laundry fun with a toddler!
- Get them involved – Cameron loves going down the stairs, throwing the laundry in the washing machine, and pressing the buttons. As we go down the stairs, we count all of them. Once he puts the laundry in and presses the buttons, I give him lots of praise! I believe this is helping build his self confidence and showing him responsibility. Of course he loves all of the praise and he wants to help me each and every time.
- Reward them – After we finish the laundry, Cameron always receives a reward. Sometimes it is a lollipop and sometimes we play some games! Usually it is whatever he asks for when we are done.
- Find a product that makes it easy for mom! – The Laundry Basket LUXE in Heather Gray/Charcoal makes it super easy to go up and down the stairs with a toddler while holding the laundry. I can fold up the basket and hold Cameron’s hand while it is empty and when it is full, the leather detail on the straps make it easy to grip and hold!
Cameron also has such a fun time with the SnapBasket LUXE Tote in Navy Striped because he can fit all of his balls in them! He likes to throw his basketballs, soccer balls, and footballs into the basket and carry them around the house. Once he is done with the basket, I can fold the basket up and store it for another day! I also like to store my pillows in the baskets when we are not using them.
You can find these CleverMade SnapBasket Totes both online and in stores at Target!
