Unicorn Friends - Potty Time ADVENTures

These are the cutest little things!!! Surprisingly high quality, made from solid wood. My daughter had even taken them in the tub. This is our second go round with potty training and these have DEFINITELY made a difference in her motivation. She had ALL the signs of being ready to potty train, except for the 'want to. Before she would keep telling me that she didn't want to go on the potty (and I didn't want to force her and turn it into a punishment) but then she have an accident 5 minutes later. This time around, she started again with the, "I don't want to", but when I'd remind her of her stickers and friends she could earn, she'd quickly change her tune! I'm about to order our 4th and final set (because I'm starting to move her away from external motivation), but these have been a potty training life saver!!!

Honestly, I was skeptical trying this out for my 2.5 year old. She is super stubborn and although she knows she should use the potty and has done so multiple times, she can't seem to be consistent with it. I was iffy about trying this as I used to give her mini M&Ms every time she used the potty, and it only worked occasionally. But with this we have had over a week of amazing results! She only had one accident in the beginning, but we have never gone this many days without an accident. Before, I used to remind her for using the bathroom, but now she yells "I have pee pee!" We are still working on pooping but I think that will happen very soon. We are on the third row of this "calendar" and I am thinking of getting another one to keep it going until end of summer, when I am sure she will be fully potty trained. Don't think twice, when giving candy and stickers failed, this came through!!

My daughter loved this potty training advent calendar (bathroom chart) when we started potty training. It was a great motivator for her to sit on the potty. The bar to earn a prize slowly increases from 1 sticker (successful bathroom visits) to 3 stickers per prize just as confidence grows too. We have tried almost all the sets between teaching my son and daughter and all the wooden prizes are so cute. They continue to play with the cars, dinos, and magical creatures etc. to this day.

Definitely gets the kids encourages to go on the potty!

We found this to be a great tool for potty training. My daughter was super excited each time. The wooden toys are super cute and sturdy. I do wish they varied a bit more, but she loves them regardless. I did feel like we were kind of stuck once she finished this all, because even though she did great, she still wasn’t potty trained (still isn’t), and was in need of more prizes. Ultimately we still need to give her other prizes, so I’m not 100% sure if this is necessary. It was fun, though, so if you are looking for a different kind of prize other than candy or sweets, it’s worth a shot!

My 3.5 year old has suffered from chronic constipation for nearly two years, so we weren’t able to do traditional potty training. By age three, she had the bodily awareness and could go without a diaper but would still ask for one to use when she needed to go. Physically she was ready, but due to all the medical trauma she’d been through, her doctors all emphasized not to pressure her around potty training. It all had to be on her terms. She liked sitting on the potty but when the time came to release, was terrified (she had the issue of it feeling like a part of her body was falling out, which is somewhat common). I tried various things to encourage her to no avail, then found this toy reward system and it has honestly been a miracle! These little toys motivate her like crazy. I gave her a toy for each “deposit” for the first one I ordered (the farm animals) to build momentum. Now I’ve got the other set with unicorns and kittens and am following the actual process of building up to three deposits for one toy. In one week she’s gone from only sitting and then crying and getting scared when she started to feel the pee coming out, to having nearly all her deposits happen in the potty. The fear is gone! Such a great product.

After reading all the reviews I was convinced this would help my 2 year old who had decided the potty wasn’t fun anymore and liked her diapers 🤦🏼‍♀️ The first week or two she wasn’t interested and I became super disappointed since this was my last effort I could think of to continue training her. Finally after talking with her school and making sure they were on the same page with me, she opened the second one & became ecstatic. It all seemed to click then. She did have a hard time understanding why it would change & she had to go two or three times to get the toy, and she also tried the whole mommy I have to pee every 5 minutes thing to get her toy, but eventually we got control of it and ended up helping us out quite a bit. She still plays with her unicorns! She is not completely done yet because pooping is becoming the new hurdle for us to conquer so we will be buying another one in different characters for pooping only.

My kiddo loved this advent calendar for learning and getting excited about using the potty! She did have a meltdown when it switched from 2 “deposits” to 3 before getting a reward — definitely make sure to explain that part ahead of time. 😂 I read in the fine print that it usually takes 2–3 calendars before kids really get the hang of it. We went with 2, and she’s doing great now!
