We are SO ready to being potty training in our house! We have the Bob the Builder underwear (washed and in the bureau), the stepping stool for the bathroom, the Elmo soft potty seat…now all we need is a preschooler-with-interest and a "how-to-guide". Fortunately, our preschooler-with-interest is becoming more excited every day. He proclaims daily, "When I'm older, I'll use the potty…like Mama, and Daddy, and Elmo!" Now, my husband and I need to figure out "how" to teach him the steps. In order to preserve the last shred of privacy my husband still holds on to, he refuses to perform one more "live demonstration" when he uses the bathroom. Therefore, we have decided on the next best thing…the Pocket Snails Potty Adventure DVD.

This 30-minute DVD teaches boys and girls the steps of potty training in a fun and inspiring way. Through song, color, and humor, the Pocket Snails get kids excited about saying, "Goodbye Diapers" and "Hello Potty"! The DVD evolves by mapping out the road to successful potty training, and is accompanied by a Potty Steps Map, which caregivers can reference with their little "potty-trainer" after the movie has ended. This map is a wonderful way to reinforce the potty training steps, at any time of day. The map may also be brought in to the bathroom, so kids can visually see what they are supposed to do next, such as wash their hands.

Created by Soaring Star Productions, the Pocket Snails (aka Dale, Buttons, and Gordon who all reside in the "pocket" of their owner Jake) teach, amuse, and inspire children to take the next step with their potty training. By keeping this major milestone light hearted and stress-free, whether it is through books, DVDs, or song, toilet-trainers may feel less anxious about the prospect of becoming a "big girl" or "big boy" and transition more smoothly.

So for all the moms, dads, grandparents, aunties and uncles looking for some assistance with this major step, enlist the help of the Pocket Snails and let them do the teaching!
