Dryer ball

Okay kiddo, you know how when we wash our clothes they can sometimes get tangled together in the washing machine? Well, sometimes when we dry our clothes in the dryer, they can still get all tangled up, which makes them not dry very well.

That's where a dryer ball comes in! It's kind of like a little rubber ball that we put in the dryer with our clothes. The ball bounces around and helps the clothes move around too, which means that they don't get stuck together and they get dry faster.

Not only that, but dryer balls can also help our clothes come out softer and less wrinkly. Plus, they're reusable, which means we can use them over and over again instead of having to buy new ones all the time. Pretty cool, huh?
