When your little one is big enough to enter a new phase like potty training, a small celebration can help be more successful. A potty training cake is a fun and special way to present items that you were probably going to buy (or may already have on hand anyway).  Make your little girl or little boy feel that this transition from babyhood to big kid status is a great new adventure by including items needed for potty training  at home or on the go.

Potty Training Diaper Cake Directions:

  1. Begin by rolling all your pull ups, I normally roll from the closed side inward but I alternated and did them both ways since each side was covered in cute characters  and I wanted them to show, secure each one with a rubber band.
  2. Hot glue a can opening side down to the center of a cardboard round- these can be picked up at craft stores in the  cake decorating aisle, you can ask for one at the bakery of your grocery store, or make your own from a cardboard box.
  3. Drop a large rubber band over the can and slip rolled pull ups under the rubber band in a single row until you have gone all the way around. Add a second row under the band.
  4. Cover rubber band by wrapping pullups with wide ribbon, hot glue the ribbon to itself so that your pullups are still usable.
  5. Repeat with a second  contrasting ribbon.
  6. Add accessories like hand sanitizer for on the go, soap for the bathroom sink, potty covers, potty books,  wipes with a flip top, potty reward charts, stickers, or any other tools that you may use for potty training.

 You can also include some fun potty training books and find out more about planning a baby shower.
