Rubber Ducky Theme

Quack, quack, quack, got any grapes? My little one woke up quite cranky this morning so I decided to pull up his favorite little song on youtube to put him in a better mood. The video is below if you'd like to see it, followed by a Rubber Ducky birthday party plan.



Cute isn't it? Now onto the party plans:


Table and Place Settings -

Start with a blue tablecloth with lighter blue contruction paper circles gluesticked on for bubbles. For your centerpiece you can paint a box white and fill with crumpled blue tissue paper or how about a white bowl with blue jello, add a faucet with construction paper or cardstock and add a rubber ducky or two on top. Add a few other little bath toys around it.

Draw, print out, or get stickers of rubber duckies and add to blue cups. If you have a white paint pen add on some little bubble details (or cut out from white paper and gluestick on)

Yellow silverware can be wrapped up in orange napkins and placed in rubber ducky napkin rings. Cut out strips of blue paper,glue the ends together and glue a rubber ducky on top.

Here are a few different plates -

Nursery Friends	Rubber Ducky	Flip Flop Fun
Big 1 Dots - Girl	Big 1 Dots - Boy	1st Cupcake

I really like the polka dot options. If you decide to go with one of them you can add some colored dots to your cups and/or napkin rings too.


Games -

Using the Basic Games section

Pin the Beak on the Rubber Ducky

Find the Duckies - either draw or print out duckies or you can purchase many many different kinds of duckies at Oriental Trading Company

Throw the Duckies or Bubbles in the tub - paint a big box white and decorate as a bath tub, take turns throwing in the rubber duckies or use ping pong balls or other small blue or white balls and call them bubbles.


Ducky Match - Draw shapes or put stickers on the bottom of rubber duckies (real or just pictures on paper) This theme would likely be for toddlers so your best bet is to give each child one and just have them find their match rather then playing
the old fashioned memory. I am not a big fan of buying bigger ticket items but this game is very cute and could double as a birthday gift for your little one -



Musical Bubbles - Cut out construction paper circles can be your bubbles. Add a picture of a different colored rubber ducky and each time the music stops call a color. Whoever is on that color recieves a sticker or other small prize. Play
until everyone "wins" (is out) and give the last child a rubber ducky with their sticker.

Cake - For a nice simple but cute cake ice a round cake white, add a big circle of blue gel icing to the center and place a rubber ducky (real or fondant) in the middle. Or ice cupcakes blue and place mini duckies or cupcake toppers with rubber
duckies on top. For more on cakes click here.

Happy quacking :)
