1 Star Unimpressive at best
The combination images–black & white photos with outlined clothes–were very amateur and uninspiring. I just let my 2-year-old scribble all over them while we talked about potty training.
3 Stars Worth getting.
My little boy has a mild case of autism so I really wasn’t sure if it would help. It did - he even likes the stickers that came with it. Its still taking a little more than stickers. Each time he gets a row filled, I take him to the 99 cent store to pick out a toy. He tells me he wants a sticker after he goes potty..
5 Stars re: Unique Approach to Potty Training!
My Potty Activity Book is a great way to make potty training fun. There are pictures to color in the front and you can discuss what is happening as you color just like you would point out pictures in a book you might read to your child. The book reduces pressure. I like having the option of coloring this with my child with light conversation during training vs always asking, “Do you want to go potty?”. I also like that the pages are perforated so I can give one at a time to my child and have the option of posting them on the refrigerator or bathroom wall. In the back are many unique tips that are short and straight to the point so I could easily skim them and find some that really helped my son. The tips are great for busy moms who don’t have time to read lengthy discussions. I would recommend this book as a supplement to anyone who wants to make potty training more fun or needs a few more easy tip ideas.
5 Stars Not just a book, Not just for fun, It’s all in one!
My Potty Activity Book, stickers and tips are a great addition to your potty training routine.
The book arrived much larger than we would have expected and contains many pages of activity fun using drawings and real black and white photos of children.
It’s not just a book to read through, it’s an every day extended activity book. Parent and child can read the book each day over and over, but also interact with creative coloring and stickers day after day, page after page.
With your help, your child can proudly check off each milestone they reach on the progress chart and in the end, you have a keepsake activity book with a congratulatory certificate in the back for potty training completion.
Even if your child isn’t fully trained by the end, you’ve still spent a lot of fun, creative and quality time together working on potty skills without all the pressure and frustration! <...
5 Stars No more diapers….yeah!
Tracy Foote’s “My Potty Activity Book” was just what my son needed to make that final transition out of diapers! Each page features pictures of children and different aspects of potty training (ie) various types of potty seats, washing hands, rewards for using potty, etc. Unlike other potty training story books, every page contains an activity that your child may participate in, such as coloring, connect the dots, and matching games. This book also contains over 45 potty training tips that address situations such as motivating your child, night time training, and using public restrooms. As an added bonus, each page is perforated and may be removed from the book and hung in a place where your child will be reminded of the activity featured on that page. This book was definitely an asset to successfully potty training our son!
