Abstract
A potty training doll has a first aperture formed therein for selectively accessing an internal pouch thereof. A liquid container constructed of resiliently flexible plastic material is disposable within the internal pouch such that a nozzle thereof extends from a second aperture formed in a groin area of the doll. The doll is squeezed to compress the liquid container, causing liquid to be ejected from a nozzle thereof to simulate urination and reinforcing a toilet training experience for a child.
