This invention comprises a training urination kit that permits a standing boy to perfectly direct his urine into a toilet while focusing on a visual target.
Using the restroom is a challenge for any boy, potty trained or not, and the individuals who clean after them. The process of a boy urinating, is often referred to as an, “uncontrollable sprinkler” that goes off and leaves everything around it wet, and sometimes smelly and gross. The boys who do this, don't have a reason to act differently. Parents and teachers often resort to yelling and punishing young boys, which is not a positive reinforcement teaching tool.
Because of this situation, many parents are required to clean the restrooms, replace their kids' clothes, and even wash their body, right after a short, unsuccessful use of the toilet, urinal or bowl, often many times per day. This is a time-consuming unpleasant task for parents or pre-school teachers, who have much other things to do. In view of these inherent urination problems, typically associated with boys, at home, school and public restrooms, it would be highly desirable to develop a urination device or kit, easy to use, and readily disposable, which helps parents, teachers, and public establishments, avoid the mess follows boys who use their restrooms.
The present invention is a urination kit, that permits a boy, even as young as 2 years old, to learn how to direct his urine into a toilet while standing. The kit consists of two main components. The first component is a funnel to direct urine in one desirable direction. The second component is a small label that is placed inside the toilet, for a visual urination target.
The funnel is formed from eco friendly material to be readily disposable in an environmentally responsible manner. The label is formed from an eco-friendly or environmentally sound, flushable material.

The boy learns quickly how to use the funnel 18 and the label 27. The parent, or other, shows the boy how to flush the toilet and will ask the boy to flush while yelling a given word (such as Kamikaze) at the label. The boys aim better when they are aiming at the pirate ship. This procedure has found that the boy is engaged and asks to “pee on pirate ship”, when they need to pee. Other of the pirate ship could be animals, cartoon characters, persons and any other items that young boys may enjoy. The parents, or any other third party that provides services to a boy at this age, enjoy an easy, clean, potty training experience. Boys love the game and parents love it even more.
This system handles any stream pressure and therefore prevents splash feedback. If made with paper, it is environmentally sound material, as well as biodegradable and eco-friendly, and maintains its strength well, when urine flows within. It is sanitary and keeps every one's hands clean. It works for potty training for any boy who can stand up without a stool, but can't control the aim or stream pressure of the urinary process. It reduces the frequency of cleaning the toilet and bathroom, whether the urinary process takes place in a residential or commercial location. Food service establishments, such as restaurants, can offer it in their restrooms to prevent children from contaminating their food and prevent the public restroom from getting contaminated.
