 
A Potty Train -
Train... as in CHOO CHOO!!! Jump on the Potty Express! Yes, with this
activity you will make a train of items that your
toddler will take to the potty, for that special potty
training event.
You'll need some ribbon, 3 small boxes, construction
paper, and some tape. Take construction paper and cover
the sides of the boxes. Then cut out some small circles
for the wheels and tape/glue them to each box. To
connect the boxes together just take a small strip of
construction paper and tape it to the inside front of
the last box , then tape the other side to the inside
back of the box in front. Do the same for the next box. Then for the front box,
tape a single long
ribbon to the front inside. See photo. Next have your toddler pick a
favorite small "potty" book, toy, and stickers. Put each
item in a box and keep the train nearby for that run
to the bathroom. Have your toddler pull the train to the
bathroom so that the items are nearby for the event.
