Perfect for potty training! Handmade ideas for cute sticker charts (1–10)
Miffy
Miffy is a widely loved character—white, round, and irresistibly cute with her X-shaped mouth.
Created by Dutch graphic designer and picture-book author Dick Bruna, Miffy has a soft, gentle feel that seems perfect for easing children’s reluctance to go to the bathroom.
By the way, while she’s known in Japan as “Usako-chan” or “Miffy,” her original name is “Nijntje.” Her mom and dad characters also carry a subtle, gentle atmosphere, so do make good use of them too.
Woof
Wanwan, the beloved character from NHK’s toddler program “Inai Inai Baa!”, is a big white dog with a cheerful, slightly clumsy personality—and is canonically “forever five years old.” Perhaps because of that, he feels especially approachable to children in the potty-training stage and remains consistently popular.
Be sure to include his adorable puppet sidekick, U-tan, when you draw them.
In a pop and cute world, even the walk to the toilet feels light and exciting!
dinosaur
This is a sticker chart for toilet training that’s perfect for kids who love dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs are hugely popular both in the past and now, and there are quite a few children who are like little “dinosaur experts,” knowing more types than many adults.
For the main design, let’s draw a large, imposing dinosaur and lots of its eggs to create the chart.
If you prepare small dinosaur stickers to place on it, kids may be eager to choose their favorite species each time and feel excited to keep progressing with their training.

Limited Express Train
A sticker chart for potty training that train-loving kids won’t be able to resist.
Line up lots of their favorite trains.
You could even prepare different themes like “Limited Express” or “Shinkansen.” Draw windows on the trains so they can enjoy placing stickers there.
Mix in some rare trains you don’t often get to see, or draw familiar ones.
Try creating a relaxed, open-ended vibe with comments like, “Next is ____,” or “I want to ride ____ too,” so it feels fine to keep going as long as they like.
Curry and rice
Curry rice is loved by both kids and adults! This idea turns the steps for making curry rice into a sticker sheet.
You start by going shopping, and at the goal you have a finished curry rice—time to eat! Let’s create it with that image in mind.
Between the start and the goal, insert illustrations of each step in the curry-making process and encourage with prompts like “Next is the carrot!” and “Almost to the onion!” as you try it together.
You can also adapt it to your child’s favorite food, not just curry rice.
siren car
Working vehicles are always a hit with kids, and siren cars are especially popular.
With a sticker sheet featuring siren cars like fire engines and police cars that spring into action during disasters and emergencies, many children are likely to take an interest.
On this sticker sheet, which draws kids in with car illustrations, the spots for placing stickers are the cars’ tires.
Try including not only four-wheeled vehicles but also eight-wheeled ones and rare emergency vehicles that you don’t often see.
You can make it using photos, or use illustrations your child has drawn—both are great options!
toilet paper
How about making a sticker sheet that looks like a long, fluttering roll of toilet paper? Use the perforations on the toilet paper as dividers, turning each segment into a frame where a sticker can be placed—like a cute board game.
By relating it to the bathroom, it draws interest, and as the long strip of toilet paper fills up with stickers, motivation will grow too! It would also be nice to add illustrations of characters or animals your child likes around the toilet paper.
