A clean pair of adult socks and a low, lightweight laundry basket.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Adult rolls the socks together into one soft bundle and places the basket nearby on the floor.
- Take turns gently tossing the bundle toward the basket. Notice whether it lands inside, beside, or behind the basket.
- Move closer or farther away to make the game comfortable. Retrieve the socks together and try another turn.
Adult stays beside the child and clears a level space away from stairs, faces, pets, and fragile objects. Toss gently toward the floor and stop if the child wants a break.
