Toys that can help you Potty Train your Child

Potty training can be a difficult task for parents and their toddlers. You want to use every resource at your disposal in order to encourage potty training in your child. There are a variety of toys that can make this process go more smoothly.
One of the best toys that you can get is a doll that drinks and wets. This will let your child pretend play that the dolls are drinking and going to the bathroom and then he or she might want to do it too. There are many different versions of this toy including the Melissa & Doug Annie – 12″ Drink and Wet Doll. Many of these dolls come with a bottle and a little potty seat.
Look at all of the different options when choosing which potty training doll to get. Some are specific characters such as the doll from Once Upon a Potty or Dora the Explorer. Some actually wet whereas others do not. One thing to look out for if you get a wetting doll is the formation of mold. Make sure to follow the directions exactly.
Your child might enjoy a stuffed animal to help with potty training. The Barbie Training Pup, Potty Time features a soft, cuddly puppy with a pink bow. It comes with a newspaper training pad, a bone and a dish with food and water. It also makes different sounds when it is pet. The child can pretend that the doll “goes” on the newspaper and clean it up. Even though obviously different from how he or she will do it, it is still about training to use the bathroom in the right place and it may be good to get children more exposed to the whole concept of potty training.
You can also get a small potty for your child that is like a toy itself. The Fisher-Price Cheer for Me Potty is a small potty that is just the right size for a little one. However it is also a toy. The tank of the toy has a smiley face that is welcoming and unassuming for little ones. The toy says five different phrases and also sings two songs to help with potty training. It uses 3 AA batteries and accommodates children up to 40 pounds.
A potty training doll can encourage your little one to learn to use the potty. Consider the above toys when making your selection.
