Teach children to pass on their clothes

Children can take part in choosing what to pass on. It can make the process easier and help them understand reuse.

Sort together

Let your child help decide what is too small, what to keep and what someone else could use.

Talk about the next owner

Explain that clothes can go to another child who will enjoy them. This makes letting go easier.

Make it a routine

Sort clothes at regular times, for example at the change of season, so passing things on becomes normal.

These are practical suggestions. Always follow the garment's care label and the manufacturer's instructions. For donations and textile waste, check the recipient's current guidance and your local collection rules.
