Build-A-Bathroom: Pull-Ups^® Game

It’s hard to remember, but there was a time in your life when you didn’t know how to use the bathroom, and your toddler is living through that now! They may even be intimidated by it, especially by the loud noise of the flush and the swirling water. Your child needs help learning what is supposed to happen when they go potty, so making learning fun by using a bathroom game is a bonus!

Even if your child is just beginning to show signs that they're ready to start potty training, you can start helping them get familiar with the idea by talking about it or playing this bathroom game. Then, when they are finally ready to start, they will already know bathroom vocabulary.

Speaking of vocabulary, you also can start thinking about the language and tone you’ll want to use when you talk about the process. Talking about using the bathroom can be uncomfortable for some parents, so you may want to start thinking of how you’ll integrate this into your vocabulary as well. Here are some examples:

• “Let’s go to the park. But first, everyone has to go to the potty.”
• “Want to show your stuffed animal how you’re using the Big Kid potty?”

Similarly, consider how you will celebrate your toddler’s attempts. Each child responds to the process differently, so think about which words and how to praise your child at every step, from telling you they have to go all the way to washing their hands at the end.

In the meantime, this bathroom game will help you introduce all the parts of the bathroom as well as other potty training supplies they will use and see. You may want to take a shopping trip to stock up on these items before your child starts the game. That way, you can show them everything that they’re learning in real life.

You and your child can play this bathroom game on a phone, tablet or in real life. Whether your child has earned some screen time or wants to get up and get moving, our Build-A-Bathroom Game is ready to teach them the bathroom basics!
