National Rubber Ducky Day

Happy National Rubber Ducky Day, a January 13 holiday. Children and adults just love rubber duckies. It’s a bathtime favorite, that puts a smile on everyone’s face. Toddlers and young children play with rubber duckies in the bathtub and toddler swimming pools. Parents, and grandparents joyfully play along. For adults, it brings back fond memories of childhood baths and pool time.

Did You Know? Chances are you know that the muppet Ernie on Sesame Street, first sang the Rubber Duckie song, and it became an infamous childhood song. The year was 1970. That year the song reached #16 on the Top 100 Chart. It remains one of my favorite childhood songs of all time.
