Put away pants
Folding, sorting and finding the right drawer are three decisions in a row, and each little pause lets the floor pile grow. The pictures below split the task so a child knows exactly what comes next.

About this visual support
A seemingly simple chore, putting away pants, is really several steps tied together. The garment has to be folded, the right drawer has to be decided, and the drawer has to be opened and closed. For a child who struggles to hold a chain of decisions, one unclear step is enough for the whole pile to stay on the floor.
Visual support helps by lifting away the memory load. When each step exists as its own picture, the child does not have to hold the whole process in mind at once, but can take one step, look at the next picture and carry on. The multi-step chore becomes a row of short, manageable actions.
A tip that often works is to label the dresser drawers with the same pictures as in the support, so folded garment and right place belong together visually. Then sorting becomes a simple matching rather than a decision. In the Routined app you can build a routine like this and tick off the steps together.
