potty training made easier? yes!

I potty trained all of my kids in about a day. Yes. Really.
Its a method presented in the book Toilet Training in Less Than a Day and it actually works!

One of the best ways to learn something is to teach someone else to do it. And this applies to potty training as well! This method has kids train a doll to use the potty. By training the doll to go potty, children are learning themselves. Meet Emma:
What makes the Emma and Paul (male version of the Corolle potty dolls) truly unique is the fact they are anatomically correct. Truly, these Corolle Potty Training dolls really do show a realistic rendering of the private parts for both little girls and little boys along with being able to drink a bottle of water and then pee pee on the potty. To make your doll go pee-pee on the potty, just feed your doll about 1/2 a bottle of water by squirting the bottle into the doll’s mouth while she or he is laying on their side. Then, turn the doll upright, pull down the panties and squeeze the dolls belly while they are sitting over the toilet.

These Corolle Potty Training Dolls make a great gift for any potty training toddler or preschooler and are highly recommended by Potty Training experts at Potty Training in Less than a Day too. Priced at about $45 these are fun to play with far after the potty training stage is over, given how fascinated kids are with everything potty, and its perfect for bringing in the bath and they fit perfectly into the 14-inch Corolle doll clothes!

corolle picks: 2-in-1 carriage and tidoo baby dolls

I’m so very proud to announce that I’ve been recently named as a Corolle Ambassador!

We just love Corolle in our house – I’m sure I’ve mentioned them several times here already! We’ve had several dolls that are just favorites of my girls – they have outlasted other dolls like you wouldn’t believe! Corolle is a premium doll brand designed in France, whose faces are sculpted in the likeness of real babies.They are life like, adorable, sweet and all the dolls have a fresh vanilla scent – its just lovely. For the next few months, Gracie and I will be covering tons of Corolle’s products just in time for the holidays!

Two of our favorite Corolle products? The 2-in-1 Carriage and Tidoo Poppy!

The 2-in-1 Carriage ($100) is just darling. It makes me want to go for a walk in Central Park! Its the nicest, most well made doll carriage/stroller I’ve seen! It converts from a carriage to a carry bed so its like two products in one. It fits up to 17-inch dolls, folds for easy storage and is very easy to assemble, taking us less than 5 minutes to pop on wheels and add the sunshade.

We just love the Tidoo line of dolls ($40). Unlike most dolls, they don’t end up moldy because they either don’t empty fully or they are really not meant to be immersed. But Tidoo is specifically designed for bathtime as it’s filled with polystyrene beads that dry quickly. Not only that, but Tidoo floats, has a little pacifier and sucks its thumb. Tidoo comes in several versions: four pink, Tidoo Candy, Tidoo Raspberry, Tidoo Grenadine, Tidoo Suce-Pouce in Pajamas, more gender-neutral Tidoo Turquoise and Tidoo Poppy, and the African-American Tidoo Graceful (also in pink pajamas).
