Homestead Ec | Clothing Care Box

This unit introduces children to essential clothing care skills through age-appropriate, hands-on learning. Kids learn how to sort, wash, dry, and fold laundry, understand clothing tags and fabrics, and practice basic mending skills such as sewing on a button and using iron-on patches. Lessons also explore why wearing clean clothes matters, how organization reduces stress, and how caring for personal items builds responsibility and self-respect.

Each box includes four carefully curated learning tools, along with downloadable curriculum and step-by-step video lessons, designed to guide children through each activity with confidence. Learning tools support hands-on practice in folding, sewing, stain care, and laundry routines, while a visual laundry guide helps children apply what they learn independently. (Adult supervision is required for sewing activities.)

This unit incorporates real-world math, including measuring, sorting, and planning, with an optional state-aligned math supplement for grades K–6 for families who wish to extend the learning. The curriculum follows a Socratic-based approach, using adult-led discussion prompts and guided questions to encourage conversation, reflection, and meaningful application.

Designed for children ages 6–12, this box builds independence, organization skills, and practical life knowledge through everyday learning. A special “Leave No Crumbs” section reinforces responsibility by teaching children to care for their space and belongings and leave things better than they found them.
