Perfect Pairs (Sock Game)

January 21, 2012

This morning I posted a picture on my Facebook Page of what my Laundry Room/Craft Room looked like. I referred to it as something you would see on an episode of Hoarders…

Pretty bad, right? (And embarrassing!)

So I made a deal with myself that I wasn’t going to do any more crafting until I got this room cleaned up! I liked organizing my craft space. I even found some supplies I had bought for specific projects that apparently I had forgot about. But then came time to wash and fold the laundry. I got through most of it ok, until the socks. Isn’t that the worst part of the laundry? You can never find a match. Then I remembered something my son has been watching on Sesame Street.

Bert plays a computer game called “Perfect Pairs” which involves matching of socks.

So I decided to create our own real life “Perfect Pairs” game!

I strung yarn from one door knob to another and used clothespins to pin up socks to our makeshift clothesline. The other socks we laid out on the floor. I asked my son to find socks from the floor that matched the socks hanging on the clothesline. And guided him by asking if he could first match the blue socks, then red socks, long socks, striped socks, small socks, ski socks, etc. So there you have it, I tricked my son into folding laundry 🙂 Am I evil?

Are you curious to see what the laundry room/craft room looks like now? Drum roll please…..

TAH DAH!

    Hey there!
    As a parent and an avid gamer, I completely understand the need to keep kids entertained during those restaurant waits. I’ve found that playing PC games on a laptop or 2-in-1 device can be a lifesaver in these situations. Here are ten games that have been hits with my kids:
    Slime Rancher: My youngest couldn’t get enough of the colorful slimes and the playful environment. It’s a simple, cute game that’s perfect for younger kids.
    Stardew Valley: Both my kids enjoy this one. It’s a farming game with charming pixel art and relaxing gameplay.
    Minecraft: A classic. I’ve seen my kids’ creativity truly blossom while building their unique worlds in Minecraft. Games here argentics.

    Are there any secure online games that allow you to earn money? I’m looking for trustworthy sites to play on.

    Finding secure online games that offer the chance to earn money can be a bit challenging. From my experience, one notable option is https://damangameee.in/. They offer a feature called the Aviator Game, which is popular for its substantial bonuses. The Daman Game Aviator bonus stands out due to its potential rewards, but it’s important to remember that it comes with risks. To earn these bonuses, you’ll need to play well and win consistently, which can be demanding. For those interested, you can check it out at Daman Game. Always ensure that any platform you choose is reputable and aligns with your gaming preferences and risk tolerance.

    This is hilarious! I love how you turned a chore into a game for your son. I’ve been there with the sock-matching struggle. Once, I tried sorting them by color in a drawer, but it still took ages to find pairs. Your clothesline idea is genius. Did your son have fun? And what’s the state of your laundry room now? Is it still a bit of a hoarder’s dream or are you making progress?
