Picking up laundry

Lately, in an effort to keep my house cleaner I have been trying to teach the kids to put their dirty clothes away. The clothes usually end up all over the floor. When it's time to do laundry it's a nightmare running around the house picking up all the dirty clothes off the floor. So lately after I change the girls I have been handing them their dirty clothes and walking to the hamper with them to show them where it all goes. They actually like this. The key is that I have to walk with them and get them all excited. Hopefully trying to make this a habbit at such a young age will make it stick through their lives.
