The answer to your potty training problem?

On a mission to help boys and girls from all over the galaxy help to use the toilet like a grown up, Toilet Star is here…

The Toilet Star story:

The Toilet Star story began when, faced with the up and coming need for our eldest son to become fully potty trained we tried, in vain, to find a fun solution on the internet or high street. We were so shocked by the lack of anything fitting the mark in terms of quality and value for money we decided to create something ourselves – and so, Toilet Star was born.

This cute little comically cosmic character and his best friend 'Louie The Alien' proved so effective for both our son and relatives' children that we knew they could help parents of toddlers throughout the galaxy!

For many parents, potty training is strenuous enough without having to trawl the high street for elaborate hi-tech potty-contraptions or the internet for e-books promising five minute success.

We fully understand that every child is different and needs to learn at their own pace and in their own way – but what is common is that nothing helps learning more than simple rewarding fun – however small the progress.


Toilet Star is proof that it's possible to have a simple effective and portable system without the need to set up camp at home and see no one but your closest family for two weeks!

The Toilet Star Code

We believe that consistency and fun are key to effective potty training. As a result we decided to simplify the potty training process into a series of six simple 'toddler-friendly' steps called 'The Toilet Star Code'. It's a new approach to potty training which allows parents to talk to their child and help them understand what going to the toilet involves in a fun and engaging way.

Each of these tasks is simple and easy to remember, but to begin with get your child to say out loud the following as part of a game – focusing on the key word in capitals:

1. SHOUT “I need the toilet!”
2. SIT on the toilet or potty with no fuss
3. DO a wee wee or poo poo in the toilet or potty
4. WIPE yourself clean after going to the toilet
5. Always WASH your hands with soap and dry them with a towel
6. Stay clean and dry ALL DAY

From simply 'shouting when you need the toilet' to the need to 'wash and dry your hands' – it couldn't be simpler and allows you and your child can learn quickly and hygienically together – making the whole experience simple and fun.


What's more, The Toilet Star Code allows the parent, child and even child-care staff to all work to the same goals – shortening the time needed for potty training and making the time you spend more effective.

• Toilet Star – A new potty training solution for every toddler
The Toilet Star Code has been applied to a range of complete potty training kits – from the basic 'Toilet Star Launch Pack' up to the more comprehensive 'Toilet Star Universal Power Pack'. They contain everything from focused potty training reward charts and stickers to activity packs featuring colouring books, puzzles and posters. There are also potties, training seats, memory games and original Toilet Star stories to read to your child whilst on the toilet or potty. Each pack comes complete with durable laminated pages and a handy portable plastic carry wallet.

What's more, our research has proved that these can not only help toddlers beginning to potty train, but even those who may need to have the need of a refresher course when starting a new nursery or when a new brother or sister arrives on the scene.

We hope that by using our products you too will soon be the proud parent of a fully trained Toilet Star. But please remember that the most effective system of all is to remain positive and patient with your child at all times.

Good Luck!
