1. "Potty Party" Kit 🎈
Make a mini celebration kit: stickers, bubbles, or a special dance. Every time they sit (not just go!), it’s a “party moment.”
💬 “You sat on the potty? Let’s blow one potty bubble!”
2. Let a Toy Go First 🧸
Have a favorite stuffed animal “go potty” first.
💬 “Bear has to pee! Can you help him sit?”
Then your toddler takes a turn—it's modeling through pretend play!
3. Flush Fairy or Toilet Monster ✨👾
Invent a fun character that "lives in the pipes" and loves clean potties.
💬 “The Flush Fairy thanks you for the sparkle pee!”
Bonus: this can reduce fear of flushing.
4. Color-Changing Magic 🧪
Add a few drops of blue food coloring to the toilet water. When your child pees—it turns green!
💬 “Whoa! You made a color change!”
(This is surprisingly motivating.)
5. Sticker Path to the Potty 🪄
Make a sticker trail from the playroom to the potty. Each trip gets them closer to filling the path, and it builds consistency and fun.
6. Potty Time Songs or Dance Routines 🎶🕺
Create a silly potty jingle or “pee-pee dance” to signal it’s time to try. Singing makes routines feel like a game instead of a demand
