A device and method for facilitating potty training. Preferably, the device and method encourages a child to urinate and/or perform bowel movements in a toilet. Further, preferably, the device and method are useful for both boys and girls alike. Still further, preferably, the device and method are safe for the environment and surrounding population.

1 . A device for facilitating potty training comprising at least one tissue, said at least one tissue: 
 being biodegradable;    being semi-porous;    being substantially flat so as to be placed proximate water contained within a toilet; and    being substantially buoyant, while at the same time being sufficiently rigid so as to be able to remain substantially buoyant after receiving at least one of urine and fecal matter of a child.    
   
   
       2 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said at least one tissue being between approximately 8 pound tissue and approximately 10 pound tissue.  
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 2  wherein said at least one tissue being approximately 10 pound tissue.  
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein said at least one tissue having at least one of a design and configuration adapted to encourage a child to deposit at least one of urine and fecal matter on said tissue while said tissue being placed proximate said water contained within said toilet.  
   
   
       5 . A method for facilitating potty training comprising the steps of: 
 providing at least one tissue, said at least one tissue:    being biodegradable;    being semi-porous;    being substantially flat so as to be placed proximate water contained within a toilet;    being substantially buoyant, while at the same time being sufficiently rigid so as to be able to remain substantially buoyant after receiving at least one of urine and fecal matter of a child; and    having at least one of a design and configuration adapted to encourage a child to deposit at least one of urine and fecal matter on said tissue while said tissue being placed proximate said water contained within said toilet;    placing said at least one tissue proximate said water contained within said toilet; and    flushing said at least one tissue down said toilet after said child has deposited at least one of urine and fecal matter on said at least one tissue.    
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein said at least one tissue being approximately 10 pound tissue.
