Hehe, yep. Socks can be a pain. I'll share my tip just in case it helps.
Each child gets basic white socks from Hanes or Fruit of the Loom because those two brands do a colored line or colored words on the bottom of the socks. Each size in a different color. So right now, for example, my children have the following: Makayla - Yellow line. Joseph - Dark Grey Line Emma - Blue words Daniel and Oliver (same size) - no line Caleb - Solid grey bottom of socks Mason - Teeny all white socks If we had more children with socks that are just all gray on bottom I would use a permanent marker for the line in different colors.
Anyway, this makes it simple enough for my 3 year old to sort socks into piles and then everyone gets their pile. Delegation!
I absolutely hate colorful, decorated socks. You can never find the match on the day a child wants to wear that exact pair. So we just don't go there at all ever.
Thanks for the tip-- especially about delegating the task, it would be a perfect job for my girls. My question about the different colored line on the socks is where to find them. It seems like every time I buy new socks I can't find the same ones I bought the last time

Good luck in the sock wars!
