8 Awesome Potty Training Hacks!

1. Potty Pops!

This is a "no-brainer"! Kids love candy and everything sugar. Make a jar and label it "Potty Pops". You can fill the jar with suckers or your child's favorite candy. Place the jar where the child can see it when it's time to go potty.

2. Cool Potty Chart!

Create a cool potty training chart with your child's favorite cartoon or Disney characters to track progress and inspire your child to go potty. You can easily create a chart in excel or download one from online. Here's a link to some free charts!

3. Toilet paper marker!

Create a marker to let your child know how much toilet paper to use.

4. Use a coffee filter inside potty for easy cleanup!

Place coffee filter inside training potty to help clean solid messes. (Use 3 or 4 to set your mind at ease.)

5. Create a potty station (books, extra undies, coloring books, etc.)

Place a box next to the potty with things your child enjoys so they'll look forward to going to the potty.

6. Aim for cereal game! (For boys)

Okay, this is a fun one! Place some cereal (cheerios, fruit loops, etc.) in the toilet and have your child aim for it. Make it a game!

7. Purchase a potty watch!

Potty watches can be purchased just about anywhere (walmart, amazon, target, etc.). Place the watch on the child. It will beep periodically to remind him/her to go potty. But if you don't want to come out of pocket, just set a "potty alarm" on your smart phone to remind you to take child to the potty.

8. Bring a friend!

Bring in favorite teddy bear or doll and put him on the potty too. Pour water or raisins in the potty to make it look like the bear went "potty". My kids loved this!
