Potty Party Cookie

Encourage your child to potty train by celebrating growing up with a potty party!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Talk to your child about how grown up it is to go to the potty. Tell her that when she is ready to be grown up and go to the potty that you will celebrate with a potty party!

  2. Step 2

    Decide who will come to the potty party and set a date. The guest list might be best reserved to immediate family because of the strange party theme.

  3. Step 3

    Decorate and make snacks! These potty cookies are a simple teacake recipe. The cookies are stuck together with buttercream icing.

  4. Step 4

    If you want more elaborate potty snacks, these cookies are the same simple teacake recipe, but are decorated with colored icing. To make the toilet seat, form a ring out of the cookie dough.

  5. Step 5

    If you choose, you can give gifts. Underwear, flushable wipes and scented soaps are good options.

  6. Step 6

    Celebrate! Let your child know how proud you are that he or she is acting like a big kid.
