You or your child can ball up the socks making little sock balls (How to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn2KHImdeVI )

Place the socks on your child’s non-dominant side
Place the basket or object that is acting as a basket in front of your child
Have your child reach across their body to pick up a sock with their dominant hand
Place a sock in the basket. Once your child is successful move the basket back 1-2 feet. If they struggle keep the basket close. Feel free to start the basket further away if needed to be challenging.
For younger students sit in front of your child and using a small basket move the basket up, left, right, low, high to have the student track and try and place the socks in.
Step 2:
Once completed have your child use the basket or smaller item to try and catch the socks as you throw them.
