At 2.5 Chip is starting to think about the potty. I’m not interested in getting him started on potty training until he’s 3, but I’m exposing him to the ideas now so that he’ll be thinking about it beforehand.
He’s not really into most movies, but boy does he sit still for “Go Potty Go!” There’s just something about this DVD that fascinates him. There have been several mornings when the first words out of his mouth were “Go Po-Y Go?” and I’ve even heard his big brothers singing the songs around the house.
It’s a cute animated story about two pandas named Paige and Parker. They’re learning to use the potty, and with their animal friends they sing songs and dance their way through all the pertinent topics.
For example, there are several Question and Answer sections with topics like “Is this a potty chair?” “What do you do after going potty?” “Is this something you can do while sitting on the potty?” And each time, Chip is answering questions and paying strict attention to the action on the screen.
This cute video is a great introduction to potty training and has earned the Chip Seal of Approval. :)

[...] Go Potty Go! is “a cute animated story about two pandas named Paige and Parker. They’re learning to use the potty, and with their animal friends they sing songs and dance their way through all the pertinent topics.” The fifteen-minute show “outlines all the important toileting steps - sitting, wiping, washing up - cheerfully and straightforwardly,” plus “little quizzes: ‘Is this a potty chair?’ No! or ‘Can Katie play with her kickball when she’s on the potty?’ No! But she can color in her coloring book! Audience participation is huge in the toddler set. Reinforcement through repetition with different activities is key.” [...]
