My brothers had a large sock drawer but not many of the socks were paired up. We threw a "sock party" and not only were we able to match their socks, but I think the rest of us found some of our socks in their drawer too!
THROW YOUR OWN SOCK PARTY!!!!
Pairing socks can seem like a chore...not when you do it together!
STEP 1:
Invite your whole household to raid their drawers for lone socks.
STEP 2:
Bring all lone socks to a central location and start matching!
STEP 3:
Make a pile of socks that are threadbare or have holes.
At the end of matching, throw the hole-y socks away.
Put the "left-over" lone socks in a small basket. Keep the basket for a month and see if you find anymore lone socks in the laundry that can make a pair. Once the month is up, throw the socks left in the basket away.
STEP 4:
Put away your "new" pairs of socks. You could also give a prize to the "matcher" of the most pairs (though matching socks is an incentive in itself!) :)
Happy pairs of socks I was able to unite.
Matching pajamas AND matching socks...what could be better!?!
