Potty Training Bank

Purchase a mini bank for your child in whatever their favorite character is. Every time they go to the potty, reward them by giving them some money to put in their bank. After a while, use that money to buy them a treat with the money they made by using the potty. This will really make potty training fun and they will want to keep trying for the reward.

Potty Training Colors

Keep some food coloring on hand and ask your child what color would they like today in the potty and add a few drops to color the toilet water. This will give them incentive to want to pee in the potty with the pretty colors and will make potty training fun for them.

Potty Training Fruit Loop Game

This is an aim game that is mainly for boys, but some girls like to play this too. Put some fruit loops in the potty and have your boy aim for the fruit loops in the toilet. This will help them practice so they don't pee outside of the toilet while having some fun during their potty training.

Potty Training Mini Presents

One way you can make potty training fun with your child, if buying some small items at the 99-cent store and wrap them up and place them around the potty. Every time your child goes potty, you can let them open a mini present for a job well done in their potty training.

    Great info and lists. It's amazing what's out there now. It's funny that the musical potty chair is a thing now. When I was little, my parents used to play music for me when I was training, and they gave me books I could look at if I went to the potty. It was sort of a reward.
