National Rubber Ducky Day

A rubber duck is a toy shaped like a duck, typically made of rubber or vinyl. It is often bright yellow in color, with a flat bottom that allows it to float in water. Rubber ducks are a popular children's toy and are often used during bath time or in swimming pools. Rubber ducks were first created in the late 19th century as a floating toy, but they became popular in the 20th century after the character of Ernie in the children's television show "Sesame Street" sang a song about his rubber duck. Since then, rubber ducks have become an iconic toy and are often used as a symbol of childhood or nostalgia. Rubber ducks are available in many different sizes and designs, with some featuring special themes or characters. They can be used for many different purposes, such as as a decoration for a baby shower or as a fun accessory for a pool party. Some people also collect rubber ducks as a hobby, and there are even rubber duck races held for charity events in which thousands of rubber ducks are released into a river or other body of water to race to the finish line.
