Once Upon a Potty for Her (DVD)


The story, Once upon a potty, has been around since the mid seventies. Available in book, VHS, and DVD, the story has become a classic tool in promoting potty training. There is also a version for girls and one for boys. While rather old, the same educational value is the same but probably could use some updating.
Prudence is a toddler who is ready to be potty trained. Her grandmother sends her a gift that reveals itself to be a potty. After a few mishaps, Prudence finally conquers potty training. A segment for parents follows the animated story that includes tips for potty training. There is also a motivational song and video titled “The potty dance” which is performed by toddlers dancing around their potties.
This DVD is a definite concept enhancer for potty training. The short animated film will keep the attention of little ones and can encourage potty training. The tips for parents are helpful but again, while the ideas are universal, the story could use up-dating.
