Rubber ducks

Generations have grown up with them in the bathroom, making them the most popular bath-time accessory: rubber ducks. These cute little duckies are fun to play with and brighten up the bathwater. At ilovespeelgoed, we carry all kinds of colored rubber ducks, from classic yellow to pink. With their sweet little beaks, they are eager to jump right into the tub.

Long-lasting bath toys

Most yellow rubber ducks feature vinyl, and you can also choose a rubber duck crafted from Hevea natural rubber or silicone. Natural rubber is an eco-friendly, long-lasting material that works wonderfully for making fun bath toys. Silicone and natural rubber are sturdy materials that can take a bump or two, so these rubber ducks bring years of bath-time fun.

Right in the tub, little ones love to explore everything with their mouths, feeling their toys with their lips, tongue, and tiny teeth. That makes choosing a safe bath toy extra important. Bath toys crafted from natural rubber are 100% safe for the little one and completely free from harmful substances like PVC, BPA, or phthalates. Take a look at our brands Hevea and Oli & Carol for long-lasting natural rubber bath toys.

Tips for playing with a rubber duck

Did you know that besides bringing plenty of cheer, the iconic rubber duck also stimulates a little one's senses? Tiny hands can easily hold the smooth, round shape of the little rubber duck. Feeling small details, like the wings on the side, stimulates a child's sense of touch. Picking up the ducky in the water also playfully boosts hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

The most cheerful little gift

The rubber duck is more than a classic bath toy for playtime; it also makes a great party favor or baby shower gift. Many people have fond childhood memories of playing with a rubber duck in the tub. Both young and old will love receiving these cheerful rubber ducks. This gift is sure to put a big smile on the recipient's face.

Hand out a rubber duck party favor at the end of a birthday party, or share them as a classroom treat at school. A tasty treat topped with rubber ducks is a guaranteed hit! Try placing a little rubber duck on top of a small box of candy and gluing colored paper waves to the sides, so the rubber duck looks like it is floating right on the water.

As a baby shower gift, a rubber duck is both cute and practical. This timeless classic delights both baby and parent. Bathing a little one can sometimes feel stressful for parents, and entertaining the baby with a cheerful bath figure turns bath time into a fun, relaxed moment of the day. Mini rubber ducks make ideal baby gifts, as their design fits tiny baby hands. The little one can grab the ducky all by themselves, stimulating their sense of touch.

A clean ducky

To keep bath toys hygienic, rinse and dry them thoroughly after every use. A hole-free rubber duck is a smart choice to prevent mold. Because the toys are airtight, water stays out of the bath toy, leaving no room for soap residue or nasty bacteria.

To keep bath toys nice and clean, wipe the outside with a wet cloth, or wash them in warm water with mild soap if needed. Dry the toys thoroughly after washing and store them in a dry spot out of the sun. Keep your toys clean and fresh so they stay ready for the next splash.
