Clip | 1m | Video has closed captioning.

Comparing objects helps children begin to understand that things have similarities and difference. Sorting laundry is a great way to learn to compare or collect things in nature and use descriptive words to talk about which ones are smooth, rough, long, short. Compare size, texture, shape, and color to help your child learn the first steps for how to sort and classify.
