Finding rubber duckies is easy, but you'll get a better deal and you'll be able to find
more variety online. In addition to the rubber duckies you may find, here are some fun
rubber duck themed party favor ideas:
- Glue them to their seats! You can turn almost anything into a rubber ducky favor
with some imagination. Glue mini rubber ducks to the tops of Play Dough. While
yellow is oh so appropriate, any color will do because Play Dough comes in a
yellow plastic container.
- Top them. Hats are always tops with kids at a party, so provide the kids with the
iconic rubber duck sailor hats, pictured left. These are brightly colored gob hats.
- Give them a rubber ducky soap. You'll find the fun Rubber Ducky soaps made of
glycerin with a reasonable price on ETSY. Get quacking if you want to make them
yourself.
Rubber Ducky Games
Duck, duck goose is an obvious party game, but everyone is sure to quack up at your
rubber duck party with these ideas for fun and games:
- Everyone duck! Give everyone a rubber duck and have them balance the duck on
their head and walk a relay race. Have kids race back and fourth relay style, or
set up an obstacle course around cones, Older kids can duck their heads under a
limba stick or broom. The game is even more fun adding the element of splish-
splash as a pool party idea. If you find mini rubber ducks, you can add a spoon
relay race to the party.
- Get your .ducks in a line.
- Fill up some squirt guns, then line up ducks and shoot them off the table
with water guns! Kids will have so much fun with this activity that they
won't even be fishing for a prize. - Set up a rubber ducky ring toss. Make rope rings to toss onto ducks on
the lawn. You can also make rings out of two paper plates. To make the
paper plate rings, cut a large circle from the center of each of two sturdy
plates, then tape them together at the rims all around. They look terrific
when you spray paint them yellow or orange. Make at least five rings. - Here's another carnival duck game: just float rubbers ducks in a kiddie
pool that you've marked with a number and a corresponding prize. Kids
scoop ducks with net. Make every child a winner and let him or her keep
the duck as well. Now that's a lucky ducky!
- Duck out before cake. Just before the cake, have story time. Read "10 Little
Rubber Ducks" by Eric Carle. It's loosely based on the true story of rubber duck
cargo that tumbled from a ship. The book has a surprise button with a duck
noise that kids love to press. Give each kid an opportunity to press it.
- Bring some quackers. If the party is at a park with a pond, bring lots of extra
bread to feed the ducks. Provide a bag for each child and supervise activity at
the water's edge.
- Instead of the chicken dance, do the duck dance. The same polka music applies.
Resources
- Be sure to see the Howdini instructional How to make a Rubber Duck cake.
- Before you duck out, check in to see this rubber ducky party.
- Caution: Ducks crossing! This sweet fourth birthday party with rubber ducks is
perfectly coordinated: yellow with red polka dots and stripes.
Rubber Ducky sweets and party foods ideas
- They'll "quack up" over the adorable rubber duck candies you make with help
from the Wilton Rubber Duck Chocolate mold. Just melt Wilton vanilla-flavored
yellow candy melts, cool and you're done. Or add details with orange beaks and
black eyes using Wilton icing.
- Easy cupcake idea: Frost a blue pond and plop them on top rubber duck cupcake
picks for an easy cake topper (just $1.45 for a set of 8), and Wilton cupcake
liners add a festive touch.
- Orange duckies licorice will be an unexpected surprise for party goers.
- Coat Oreo cookies in blue and yellow candy melts to match the theme.
- Serve blue raspberry gelatin into a clear cup and top with a mini rubber ducky so
that it appears he's swimming in a small duck pond.

Rubber Ducky Party
How to have a rubber duck theme birthday party for kids
Have some good clean fun with a rubber duck party! Shopping for this party is a joy, as
there are so many rubber duckies around. It's a theme that is bright and cheery, yet
offers a bit of the unexpected as a birthday party idea and even better as a pool
party! While several colors of rubber ducks are out there, it's best to stick to the yellow
ones for the party and keep the color scheme mostly yellow, orange and blue.
A rubber ducky party is ideal as a first birthday party, but if your little ducky is turning
two, then you'll have fun decorating with the blue rubber ducky numbered "2," pictured
left. The adorable eight-inch rubber duck with blue polka dots, also pictured left, would
complement the look as a centerpiece.
Rubber ducky invitations and party wording ideas:
Most rubber ducky invitations are for baby showers, so for a birthday party you can
modify a card, have an invitation custom made (try etsy.com), or make one yourself. An
easy card to make yourself is a picture of your child in a tub. Or print the invitation on a
blue paper and glue a mini rubber duck to the top and hand deliver. Here are some
wording ideas:

Setting the scene:
- Pond-er this idea: You can create a duck pond on the floor by cutting and taping
blue craft paper into a pond like shape. Accent the pond with a few rubber ducks
swimming on top. The hard to find rubber duck inflatable, right, makes a cheery
and unusual party favor. It can double as decoration for the pond.
- A bubble machine is a must have for a rubber duck party! It helps create a
bubble effect. Rubber ducky bubble whistles, left
- You may already have thought to include an inflatable pool with carnival duckies
floating a top as party decoration, but party goers will enjoy the unexpected if
you fill the pool as a container with ice for drinks. Prop some rubber ducks for a
festive touch.
- There are lots of rubber duck novelties available online:
