Sorting Laundry worksheet for kids to cut and paste clothes into light, medium, and dark categories.

To sort the laundry correctly, we need to look at the color of each item and decide if it is Light, Medium, or Dark.

Here is how we can group them:

1. Light Laundry Basket
These items are white, very pale pastels, or light beige. They have no strong dark colors.
* White t-shirt
* Beige underwear
* White socks
* White towel with thin green stripes
* Beige pants
* Light blue folded sheets/towels
* Light pink skirt
* Light blue pillows

2. Medium Laundry Basket
These items are bright colors (like red, blue, yellow) or patterns that aren't black or navy. Grey also usually goes here because it’s not quite dark enough for the "Dark" load but too dark for "Light."
* Red t-shirt
* Blue jeans (standard denim)
* Blue denim shorts
* Grey sweatpants
* Red pants
* Purple sweater
* Rainbow striped socks
* Blue and white striped towel/blanket
* Plaid shorts (black and white check often goes in medium so the black doesn't bleed onto whites, or the white doesn't get greyed out)
* Red and white checkered cloth

3. Dark Laundry Basket
These items are black, navy blue, dark brown, or very dark maroon. These colors can bleed dye onto lighter clothes, so they must be washed separately.
* Black leather jacket
* Black pants
* Navy blue t-shirt
* Dark maroon scarf
