It’s National Rubber Ducky Day

According to a 1973 Sesame Street calendar, Rubber Duckie’s Birthday is January 13th – thus we celebrate National Rubber Ducky Day! A friend of Ernie and Big Bird, Duckie made his debut in a February 1970 episode.

#NationalRubberDuckyDay

The rubber ducky (also spelled duckie) has come a long way from his first concept as a chew toy for children. While the origin of the first rubber ducky is uncertain, many rubber molded toys came about when rubber manufacturing developed in the late 1800s. They produced a variety of toys from dolls and various animal shapes, including the rubber duck.

Today our beloved rubber ducks anywhere and everywhere – from bathtubs to souvenir shops around the globe! Find your favorite and have some fun on National Rubber Ducky Day!
