Our Potty Dance Party Fun at the Mall of America!

baby deals We’ve been busy potty training our toddler, so I was thrilled when Haiden, Piper and I were invited to attend a Potty Dance Party at the Mall of America last week! I’m a mom blogger from Minneapolis, Minnesota, so this event was right in our backyard! Minnesota Mom Blogger

Haiden, Piper and I trekked to the mall last Tuesday and met up with hundreds of other excited parents and toddlers who wanted to see what the Potty Dance was all about. The event was hosted by Huggies, and they provided tons of fun goodies for the kids.

There were inflatable guitars, feather boas, magic wands, fedoras and other sweet little party favors to keep the little ones busy while we waited for the show to start.

When I say “show”, I mean it! Entertainment was provided by the family rock band, Ralph’s World, who engaged all the little kids and got them up and dancing throughout the entire event.

Ralph’s World performed for at least an hour, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it! I have to admit, I hadn’t heard of Ralph Covert or Ralph’s World before being invited to the Potty Dance Party, but there were plenty of true fans in attendance, and I’m definitely a new fan!

Honestly, Ralph’s World’s repertoire consists of music that’s fun and entertaining for both kids and adults. They even had my shy little Haiden on his feet and dancing! Everything they sung is infinitely singable, and I found myself joining in on most of the songs after hearing the chorus just once or twice.

Even one of the dancers who was there to keep the crowd engaged approached me after the concert and said that she appreciated that I joined in the singing! I’m not sure whether I should be proud or embarrassed over that!

We spent a little time learning the official Potty Dance, and I knew it by heart by the time we were done with the event. Even better, Haiden and Piper had so much fun doing the Potty Dance with the rest of the kids in attendance! I really think Huggies has it down with getting kids excited about Potty Training. Keeping things upbeat, positive and fun is a formula for potty training success!

After the show, we had the privilege of meeting with Ralph Covert of Ralph’s World. We chatted for a few minutes and he was nice enough to pose for a photo with Haiden and Piper:

(As usual, I couldn’t leave the house without forgetting something important! This time, I remembered my camera but the memory card was still in my laptop in my kitchen. Thanks SO much to Sarah of Minnesota Mama’s Must Haves for snapping this picture!)

There are still a few Huggies Pull-Ups Potty Dance Parties going on across the country. Check out the list of events on Facebook and see if there’s one near you!

The awesome team for Huggies also gave us a Pull-Ups Potty Dance Party Pack with incentives to keep potty training fun! I love this kit because you don’t even have to start potty training to enjoy the contents and have fun with it. Even better, they want to give another Pull-Ups Potty Dance Party Pack to one lucky Baby GoodBuys reader!

(Giveaway has ended)

Huggies provided the prize for this giveaway as well as an additional package for my family and I. Huggies also compensated me for expenses incurred while attending the event. This was not a paid review and all opinions expressed are my own.

    We are just starting to potty train, so I don’t really have any tips. We are planning to do rewards!

  21. Jenni says

    The best I advice I have is to make sure that you pack extra clothes in a diaper bag to just keep in the car. There will be accidents, but if you are prepared for them, it makes it that much easier.

  22. Kristen Hunt says

    Mt tip would be to put them on the potty when you know they will be ready to poop. My son does like clockwork- right after breakfist.

  26. Tiffany says

    My daughter is 15 months old and I plan on starting potty trainning when she is 18 months. So I do not have any tips yet, but would love to get some.

  39. Denise L says

    With my daughter I let her sit on the potty chair and read books for a few months before she was ready to potty train. That way, it was not an unusual or stressful place for her to be.

  45. Vanessa Dalton says

    Best potty Training tip (for boys) is Use Cheerios: I have a son and to get him to go pee pee in the potty, we put cheerios in the toilet, and he had to aim to hit them in the toilet. 😛

  50. Shaina N says

    When we start potty learning, we’ll be doing lots and lots of naked time! That would be my only real tip, I’m excited it’s in the summer! Lol!

  54. priscilla says

    My tip would be to introduce the potty chair as their very own, and to decorate it with stickers.

    Make it fun and lots and lots of praise. My toddler loves to do the potty dance after she has pee-peed.

    Best tip: Let your child be your guide, when they are ready you will know it.

  85. Ames says

    Stickers really work… even when you don’t think they will… at least they did for us 🙂

  87. Melanie says

    I “like” baby good buys on Facebook

    I am also in the process of potty training my toddler he is almost 3!

  90. Stacy says

    My best tip is to know that there probably will be setbacks. Your child may use the potty for a little while and then not want to use it it all. Just stay calm and go with it and everyone will be okay.

  92. amy d says

    gonna try the cheerio in the toilet and aim for it

  93. Andrea B says

    I would say my tip is don’t be afraid to start before age 2, because 18 months used to be the norm in the USA (before disposable diapers). My toddler seemed more open to it when younger, but then we were moving to another house and training fell by the wayside, and it was harder starting up again.

  95. Happi Shopr says

    I was told to let him show me when he’s ready and not rush it.

  96. Melissa says

    My best advice is to be very, very patient and positive. Good luck everyone!
    Thanks a bunch! :o)
