Prepare Washer
Dosing detergent, sorting clothes and choosing the right program are several small precise steps, and dropping one easily goes wrong. The visual support below holds the order, so a child can do one step at a time.

About this visual support
The washing machine demands a chain of small, precise actions: the right amount of detergent in the right compartment, darks kept apart from lights, the door firmly shut and a button press that picks exactly the program the clothes can take. Each step is tiny on its own, but they have to come in the right order, and it is easy to skip one when the mind wanders.
Visual support holds the sequence together so the child sees the next action without having to remember the whole chain. The pictures make the invisible steps visible: where the detergent goes, how darks and lights are sorted and which button to press. A task that otherwise feels muddled turns into a line of concrete steps to follow.
A tip for laundry in particular: place a picture showing the detergent measure next to the machine, so the child does not have to guess and the risk of pouring too much drops. When the dose is visible, doing it right without help becomes easier. You can gather the whole sequence in the Routined app and try it free for fourteen days.
