Potty Training: Activities

Activities:

This is a list of all the activities we did. I kept a log and every 15 minutes, changed up the activity, unless she was really enjoying it, which I put in the “favorites”. I also tried to do lots of activities that involved blowing on something, because that uses the same muscles as going potty! We also saw "Potty Time" once or twice a day.

 

FAVORITES:

• Princess Themed Memory Game
• Magnetic Princess Dress-up (Ariel, Elsa, Anna, Belle, Cinderella each had 15 minutes)
• Reading books, especially potty books!

• Using flashlight to find speech target words
