Celebrating National Toilet Paper Day: A Quirky Journey from Staff Socials to Potty Parties

We're diving into a celebration that may seem unusual but is undeniably fun—National Toilet Paper Day! Yes, you read that right. August 26 is the day we honor the humble yet essential toilet paper roll, and I’m excited to share how this unique holiday inspired not only a memorable staff gathering but also a fun twist to my toddler's potty training journey.

From Staff Socials to Toilet Paper Festivities

Flashback to 2022, when I was hosting a series of staff socials. A friend pointed out that it was National Toilet Paper Day, and that sparked an idea. Instead of our usual gathering, I decided to transform the event into a celebration of the humble toilet paper roll. The decorations were a hit—imagine charming toilet paper vases, banners, and framed illustrations that were both hilarious and adorable. These quirky elements not only eased the awkwardness of small talk but also became instant conversation starters.

A Week of Potty Progress and Toilet Paper Nostalgia

Potty Training with a Creative Twist

Fast forward to this year, when I decided to channel some of that creative energy into my daughter’s potty training journey. We celebrated the beginning and the victorious end with a fun, toilet paper-themed potty party.

Just a quick note: potty training can be quite frustrating, and each toddler progresses at their own pace. My child quickly adapted to using the potty for the pee-pees, but it took us an entire year of on & off effort to master using the potty for number twos. I promise - keep trying and it will happen!

To help others turn their training into a fun experience, I've created a set of instant downloads that include everything you need to throw your very own “potty party.” From printable banners to those adorable framed illustrations, these are designed with love to make potty training a joyful celebration.
