Can Three Little Snails Potty Train Your Toddler?

Pocket SnailsGordon, Dale and Buttons aren’t the type of snails you catch meddling in your garden eating up your plants.

They are the Pocket Snails and they are on a mission to teach tots all about the adventures of growing up… including Potty Training!

These friendly little cartoon snails are the stars of an award winning educational animated series for 2 to 5 year olds.

Their newest title, Pocket Snails Potty Adventure, gives you a whole new way to help your toddler tackle potty training. The singing and dancing Pocket Snails help their friend Jake’s little sister Wendy learn the steps of using a potty.

Pocket Snails® is a new concept in children’s educational media. Our titles are designed to elevate the learning experience of preschool children by using a creative range of learning techniques such as:

* clever use of repetition
* vibrant color
* original upbeat and child-friendly music
* abundant use of audio / visual synchronization
* uncluttered learning environment

And I can tell you of one two year old who instantly fell in love with the Pocket Snails.

My little girl Julia is thrilled to have the help of Gordon, Dale and Buttons and the inspiration of Wendy as she works on mastering her potty skills.

She absolutely loved the show from the first moment it started and wanted to watch it over and over. When she goes to the potty now, we congratulate her and say, “Great job. You used the potty just like Wendy!” and she beams with pride and repeats, “Like Wendy!”

If you have a child who’s about to embark on the path to potty training and you’d like the Pocket Snails to help out, leave a comment and let us know.

We have 3 copies of Pocket Snails Potty Adventure to give away.

We’ll announce the winners on Friday, December 7th.

(This contest is open to US shipping addresses only.)

  276. I would love any help I can get. Please put me in the contest to receive the potty training video. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Training my little girl is the hardest thing I have ever done. We have stopped and started a gazillion times. She’ll be 3 in January and I never thought it would take this long.

  282. I’d like to enter on behalf of my sister. She just gave birth to her second baby last week, and would desperately like to get her 2.5-year-old son potty trained soon.

  283. Hi,
    I’d like to enter my daughter Georgia to win this DVD. She has been ‘working’ on potty training for 6 months or more now. She was 3 in October and has already started preschool. Her preschool teacher got so tired of having to change poopy panties that she asked me to put her in a pull up b4 she comes to school. That has just confused the heck out of her & made her lazy. She just doesn’t care about being wet or dirty. She even told the teacher (after smelling the air freshener she sprayed) that her “poop smells like roses!”
    I am desperate for anything to work!!
    Thanks.

  286. My daughter, Lacey, could definitely benefit from this. She has resisted potty training and having these ‘friends’ help her potty train would be so beneficial. Thanks!

  308. I don’t have one potty training now, but I will within 2 years, and I know a few moms who are starting soon.

    Great product!

  310. I would definitely LOVE to give those cute little snails a shot at potty training my twin boys. For not quite 19 months they are doing remarkably well, but it’s not a done deal just yet 🙂

    Thanks!!

    Reply

  312. This would actually be great! Even though we have potty trained four boys we still have the twins to train starting this next spring. The adventure begins (again, and again, and again . . . )!

  316. My 2 year old is not ready… but I am! Count me in. Maybe if he starts watching it now we might have a smooth transition. thanks

    Reply

  322. oh I so need potty training help! I had hoped Elmo would do it for me, but no such luck!
    Please enter me, I am ready to be done with the diaper scene:)

  324. Hey, I’m up for trying anything when it comes to potty training. Maybe 3 snails are just what Zoe needs… because I can tell you the “super duper pooper” song and video… is just not doing it for Zoe!

  327. We are right in the middle of training now and I have a 3 month old to care for as well, so obviously we could use all the help we can get. Please send one my way….smile.

  329. My son doesn’t want anything to do with the potty right now….this sounds like a great idea and something different that I need. Thanks!

    Reply

  331. Yes Please! We bought some bob the builder underwear that my son carries everywhere, but it has not inspired him sitting on the potty.

    Reply

  342. My daughter is almost 2 and we have been working on potty training for a few months (mainly because she wants to do everything her cousin who is 7 months older than her does). She is doing ok but I think this would help out a lot! I’ve heard really good things about it! Hope I win!

    Reply

  345. Oh, this might help! My 2-year-old was so interested in potty training, and then she just stopped and wants to wear diapers. Enter me! 🙂

    Reply

  349. Don’t sign me up! My girls are already past this stage…I just wanted to say how cute they are and how badly I wish I had them about 2 years ago when my youngest was potty training!!

    Reply

  351. I would love to have this. My daughter is begining to show signs of getting ready to potty train which will be a first for me (a girl and one who actually cares about the potty at 2). Please sign me up for the contest.

  354. This sounds just like what I need. My daugter who just turned two is on her own potty journey right now and she would love this DVD – Great idea!

    Please include me in your “potty DVD” contest and help me make her potty training a fun filled learning experience : )

    Thank you ~Krysti~
