DIY Laundry Folding Board

Teach kids how to fold laundry with the easy to make cardboard laundry folding board.
Prep Time15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 Trifold Presentation Board mine was 27 inches high by 38 inches wide

Instructions

  • Use an exacto knife or utility knife to cut off one side of the board at the crease. That will make your board 27 inches tall by 28.5 inches wide.

  • Now fold the other side in, along the crease that is already there.

  • Then fold that side in again, making a new crease. You’ll have folded the board into thirds. Each third will be about 9.5 inches wide.

  • Open the board back up. Find the center (from top to bottom). Cut along each crease from the center to the bottom of the board (along the magenta dots below), creating a flap. Fold the flap up to make a new crease (along the teal dots below). Your board is ready to go!

Notes

I purchased my trifold presentation board at the dollar store. If you purchase one elsewhere, it may be a different size. You can trim it down to 27 inches high by 38 inches wide, or customize it to whatever size you want. Just determine how wide you'd like your folded laundry to be, and cut/fold your board accordingly.
