The one-week potty chart

This chart covers four times a day: morning, midday, afternoon, and bedtime. Across seven days, that gives your child a box for every sit, plus a reward line at the bottom and a blank name line at the top.

The chart comes as a one-page PDF in letter and A4 sizes. You get a color version for the first week and an ink saving black outline version for the weekly reprints. Print at 100 percent, not fit to page, so the boxes stay the right size for stickers.

The plain white background is deliberate. It keeps repirnts cheap and makes the chart easy to read in a bright bathroom. No clutter, no distractions, just the next box to fill.

How to print it so it lasts

A chart that gets wet, crumpled, or ignored is no help. Set it up once so it survives the whole week.

1. Print at 100 percent, not fit to page.
2. Use the ink saving version for the weekly reprint.
3. Slide the chart into a plastic sleeve or laminating pouch.
4. Tape the sleeve at seat height on the bathroom wall.
5. Keep the stickers in a small cup right next to the chart.

Seat height means your child can reach the chart without help. That way they stick the sticker themselves, which is the whole point.

Filling it in

Each time your child sits on the potty, they get a try box. Each time they actually go, they get the success box. A try is worth a small sticker, a success is worth the big one.

Accidents get nothing on the chart. No red marks, no sad faces, no lost stickers. The chart only records the tries and the wins, so it stays a positive tool.

When the week is full, print the next one. Hang it in the same sleeve and keep going. Most families see progress by week two or three, but every child is different.

Other potty charts to print

If one week is not enough, the 14 and 30 day charts give you a longer runway with the same big boxes and plain background. The sticker chart is a simpler version for younger kids who need fewer boxes per day.

For boys and girls who want a little more fun, the themed charts and girls charts add characters without losing the practical layout. And the dry nights chart tracks morning wetness separately, so daytime and nighttime don't get mixed up.

You can also find more ideas on the homemade potty chart ideas page if you want to build your own version.

Sticker size and the boxes

Every reward box on this chart fits a 1.5 inch round sticker or a 1/2 inch star sticker. That is a big target for little hands, so misses are rare.

The success box is the same size as the try box, but you can use a bigger sticker their. A large round sticker for a success feels like a bigger win.
