Tinkle, Tinkle, Little Star

The Potty Watch

Intuitively, you know that a left ear tug signals nap time and a clenched fist means he’s gonna blow.

But predicting potty time has been a wee bit harder. By the time you know he’s gotta go, he’s gone.

Tune in to the call of nature with The Potty Watch. Way more fun than parental nagging, the clever accessory uses lights and music to remind trainees when it’s time to try.

Set the timer to play a ditty at 30-, 60-, or 90-minute intervals. Then keep them on the loo long enough to really try by singing tinkle-related lyrics set to familiar tunes like “Oh My Darling.”

It makes potty time a real kick in the can.

Available at Right Start, Inwood Village, 5550 West Lovers Lane, suite 148b (214-350-4070).
