Got a toddler still in diapers? This one is worth forwarding to your partner right now. The Plasklas is a free program that helps you and your child work toward a diaper-free life in four simple steps. And the best part? It feels more like play than training.
Here is what you get:
- A big fold-out picture book with cheerful illustrations
- Access to the Plasklas app with videos and a step-by-step plan
- Three posters for at home
- A free online Q&A hour with a child development expert
Sign up at www.plasklas.nl/mijn-gemeente-doet-mee and everything gets sent to your door. You go at your own pace. Done with the training? Return the book to your local child health center so another family can use it too.
The nice bonus: kids become potty trained faster, meaning fewer diapers in the trash. Good for your wallet and good for the environment 🌱
Did you know that the Plasklas is a collaboration between 16 South Limburg municipalities together with childcare organizations, child health centers, waste collector Rd4, the Province of Limburg, Trendbreuk, and GGD South Limburg? This makes it one of the largest regional potty training programs in the Netherlands, specifically aimed at reducing residual waste and CO2 emissions by helping children become diaper-free sooner.
