Perfect for potty training! Handmade ideas for cute sticker charts (1–10)
Minion
https://www.instagram.com/p/CADCAkip5c_/How about stickers featuring Minions, characters loved by kids of all genders? Each Minion has a name, and they differ subtly in things like hair, eyes, height and build, and even personality.
Many children have a favorite character—Kevin, Stuart, Bob, and so on.
You can make use of their favorite character to encourage toilet training, saying things like, “It’s almost Bob time!” Try creating an exciting, fun toilet time!
Hello Kitty
https://www.instagram.com/p/ChmefIwp3-L/Hello Kitty, Sanrio’s iconic character who has been adored ever since she was created in 1974.
Affectionately known as Kitty-chan, she has many fans not only among children but also adults.
This is a sticker sheet featuring Kitty-chan.
If your child likes Kitty-chan, you might try inviting them by saying, “Shall we go see Kitty-chan in the bathroom?” Even for children who dislike going to the bathroom, try drawing lots of cute Kitty-chan images and give it a try!
animal
https://www.instagram.com/p/BtVN6GpnGBO/All little kids love animals, don’t they? Here’s a handmade sticker chart that’s perfect even for children who aren’t into popular characters, and for parents who feel a bit unsure about drawing.
If you highlight the key features of animals like pandas, elephants, and monkeys, they’ll turn into charming characters easily.
Fill the chart with your child’s favorite animals, and make their absolute favorite the goal.
Try saying things like, “Let’s aim for the monkey first,” or “Next is the elephant,” so they can enjoy the feeling of making steady progress!
Anpanman
https://www.instagram.com/p/CPJCW3VFk3B/There’s a phase in early childhood when almost everyone goes through an ‘I love Anpanman’ stage.
Among kids in the potty-training age, Anpanman is universally popular regardless of gender.
With his strong sense of justice, kindness, and gentle nature, Anpanman will surely watch over children warmly as they work hard on their training.
Any stickers will do, but you can match them to the colors of the spaces on the sticker chart or let your child pick their favorite colors.
When flushing the toilet, try making it playful with a little act, like saying, “Bye-bye, Baikinman!”
Cars
https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVTmlkH-CZ/The character Cars, popular with boys who love adventure and mischief, is also perfect for a potty-training sticker chart.
From start to finish, of course it’s fine to move forward little by little, but why not take advantage of the world of cars that pride themselves on speed and encourage them by saying, “Let’s get to the goal quickly!”? Just like the bright red, shiny-bodied hero Lightning McQueen—energetic and powerful.
Build up the excitement together as parent and child, and power through potty training.
Toy Story
https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbONCJnuX0/Woody, the hero of the animated film Toy Story, never gives up and boldly takes on challenges no matter the situation.
As a cowboy with exceptional athletic skills, he’s a perfect fit as a potty-training hero, too.
Be sure to include Buzz as well—after sharing adventures together, he became an irreplaceable friend.
Drawing the characters might be a bit tricky, but using brown for Woody and purple for Buzz will make them easy to recognize.
It would be great to evoke the anime’s vibe: “It’s totally okay to fail—let’s keep trying without giving up.”
Thomas
https://www.instagram.com/p/CS-faplBGvP/Thomas the Tank Engine is a railway character with enduring popularity among young children around the world.
Although it’s aimed at kids, the anime’s use of intricate model railways and characters based on real trains has made it beloved by people of all ages.
You can buy commercially available sticker sheets featuring various characters like Thomas, Percy, James, and Rebecca, or use colorful stickers to represent your favorite characters.
Have fun sticking them on and lift your spirits!
