This game is perfect for playing on laundry day as it allows your child to match up the socks before they get put in the drawer.

It also teaches children the importance of doing chores and helping out at home.

Once you're ready to sort through the socks, lay them on the bed and ask your child to match up the socks so both socks are identical in appearance, size and color.

This helps foster their thinking and concentration skills as well as recognizing sizes and shapes.

When the socks have been matched, let your child put his socks away in his drawer.

He'll feel a sense of pride for helping mom out and taking responsibility.

He can also sort socks for mom, dad and his brothers and sisters!

As an added bonus, have your child look at his socks to see if any are getting worn and should be thrown out.

This game can be quite challenging when there are a lot of the same colors of socks.

Sometimes dark blue can be mistaken for black until it's seen in the right light.

Sometimes you think you have two socks matched up right until you go to put them on and one blue sock is twice the size of the other blue sock!

And then there's always the mystery of how two socks go into the washer but somehow one doesn't make it back out of the washer or the dryer!
