Adding a half bath to my playroom and looking for ideas to give privacy besides building walls and a door.....thinking maybe a half wall or shower curtain. Any other ideas?
I want to go as inexpensive as possible while still allowing the kids privacy. The sink will not have to be behind a Curtain or door.
Thanks in advance for any ideas

I am just wondering if licensing will consider it a "bathroom" if it does not have walls and a door and will classify it as a toilet in the playroom. I am legally unlicensed so I don't know what they ask for but the thought crossed my mind that they might not consider a half wall or shower curtain a bathroom and I didn't know if that setup would be approved.

I will contact my licensor and ask but I remember another daycare in town that used curtains as a door and it was actually a center so I think it will be ok for my home but that is a good point and I will double checkI am just wondering if licensing will consider it a "bathroom" if it does not have walls and a door and will classify it as a toilet in the playroom.

How about making it into a stall 4 ft partitions on each side and a colorful curtain on the front. Tall enough for privacy yet you can still check on them.

I guess I should be more descriptive...it will have at least two full siZe walls...I will see if I can add a picture...ok I think I added a pic.

I guess I'm just wondering if a round shower curtain rod and a cute curtain to cover the front would be sufficient in your opinion..
Since it has the two walls the four partitions wouldn't work...I could always come out with a third half wall partition or something and use a curtain rod and curtain as a door.
Sorry! I've had no caffeine yet so my thinking isn't straight! Lol

I would build the walls. Also, put a door on it. I have kids who play (sneak) into my bathroom if the door is not closed and play in the toilet, take things off the shelf, open the shower door. the licensor may say that it can be a hazard for drownings.
