How to Make a Potty Stool (#2)

Thank you for sharing!

(Inside: My shortest kiddo likes to use the potty, but our new house has insanely tall toilets. So I worked out How to Make a Potty Stool (#2).)

I know, I know, I just made this other potty stool, BUT, to be fair, the kid uses the potty in more than one bathroom in our house.

So, she needed a second one and rather than just making another one, I tried to make it a little simpler.

Kinda fun, huh?

So, check out this super simple potty stool for a kid.

I was super pleased with how steady this one ended-up being–and how fast it came together.

Aaaand, because it’s fun, I made a video for How to Make a Potty Stool (#2). Check it out and be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you’re there!

See?? What did I tell you?! Simpler. Much simpler.

So, what are you waiting for? Get to making one!

What You Need to Make a Potty Stool (#2)

  • 2 – 6×1 pieces of wood 12-inches in length
  • 2 – 6×1 pieces of wood 4-inches in length

How to Make a Potty Stool (#2)

  1. Once your pieces of wood are cut, sand all of the pieces. I used 80-grit sand paper to do this initial rough sanding.
  2. Glue the two smaller pieces in a butt-joint to one of the longer pieces and clamp them in place.
  3. Allow that to dry.
  4. Glue the other long piece to the legs and clamp in place.
  5. Allow that to dry.
  6. Sand everything once more to get off any glue squeeze-out.
  7. Apply the Tung oil and allow that to dry.
  8. Present to little girl who needs a boost up to the potty!
