Rubber Duck History
The origins of rubber ducks trace back to the late 1800s, when manufacturers made use of Charles Goodyear’s process for rendering rubber into malleable material. Early versions were not much fun. They were more like heavy “chew toys.” By the 1940s, rubber ducks developed into the iconic floating yellow figure with bright orange bill that we recognize today. Rubber ducks have been recognized as standard the bathtub toy since 1970 when Ernie, on Sesame Street, first sang the catchy ditty “Rubber Duckie” to his best bath buddy. Rubba Ducky, you’re the one.

Rubba Ducks float straight up! So many rubber ducks tip over when set in water, but these do what the real ducks do – they float upright. The bottom has a weight in it, so no matter how they go in the water, they will pop right up. Each duck has a name and story on a trading card on each box, and iconic tattoos on their bottom
You can even add some fun and humor to an upcoming winter wedding with a pair of bride and groom Rubba Ducks. We added Mrs. Duckbells to our Rubber Duck collection. It was most fitting, as I just gained a daughter- n-law this year. Fun touches include a veil and ‘Just Married’ sign on her tail feathers. Mr. Duckbells is also available and sold separate.
Rubba Ducks are more than a duck
