Free Potty Training Charts
From LoveToKnow Baby
Potty training is difficult for both parents and child, and free potty training charts can offer much-needed motivation during the training process. Learn where to find the best charts and how to incorporate them into the potty training routine. The chart serves as both an incentive to the child who wants to earn more stickers and a visual reminder of the child's progress in training. It's up to parents to make charts a meaningful part of potty training. To do this parents need to find a chart that appeals to the child, and decide on a consistent way of using it.
Potty Training Concepts
Character Charts
Potty Training Concepts offers a full-color printable Cars chart designed by Learningcurve.com. This chart features five different potty-related behaviors including pulling down the pants, sitting on the potty, flushing, washing hands, and actually going. There is also a Disney princess chart with the same five skills and flowers that can be colored in or covered with stickers as the child practices her potty training skills. This chart is an advanced chart because the child may only master one or two of these skills at the beginning, and having a chart that rewards skills a child has not yet mastered may frustrate the child.
The Diego printable chart is a simpler design that has a grid of 35 boxes with a space for the child's name at the top, as well as a box for parents to take notes. The simplicity of this chart makes it easy to adapt to any potty training situation. Parents can reward their child for simply sitting on the potty, and can offer their child a reward for every five stickers earned. When the child has progressed a little farther in potty training, parents can give stickers only for actually going in the potty. This chart also includes colorful printable Diego stickers and a handy recipe for sticker glue. There are also several Dora charts in both color and black and white with coordinating Dora stickers.
Plain Charts
For parents who would rather have a more basic chart, Potty Training Concepts also has Potty Patty and Potty Scotty charts, featuring two cute little kids who learn to go potty right along with your child. The Potty Patty charts come in both a blank variety and a chart listing specific potty behaviors. The blank chart has space for the child's name, and the activity-specific chart also has a space for the child's photo.
