RUBBER DUCKY BIRTHDAY PARTY GAMES & ACTIVITIES
PRINTABLE GAMES - Here's a great site for some fun print and play toddler party games that would be a perfect party game add-on!
RUBBER, RUBBER, DUCKY - Play this game like you would play Duck, Duck, Goose. Have kids sit in a circle. Birthday child starts the game by tapping each child's head in the circle, while calling them "Rubber" until they pick one to be "Ducky." "Ducky" then gets up and chases the "Picker." Picker tries to run around the circle and sit down at "Ducky's" spot before getting tagged. If the "Picker" succeeds, then "Ducky" is the new "Picker." If "Ducky" succeeds in tagging the "Picker," then the "Picker" must repeat the process.
PIN THE BILL ON THE DUCK OR PIN THE DUCKY ON THE TUB - This game is played like Pin The Tail On The Donkey except you put a large poster of a duck on the wall and give each of the kids a duckbill to pin onto the duck. Use double-stick tape on the duckbills. In the alternative, you can put a big bathtub on the wall and have the kids pin their rubber duckies into the tub.
DUCKY BEAN BAG TOSS - Cut a large duck shape from plywood. and cut out the portion of the plywood where the beak is located. Be sure to cut it large enough for bean bags to be thrown through the opening. Paint the duck to look like its beak is open. Then have the kids throw bean bags through its beak.
RUBBER DUCKY CAKE WALK - Make duck-shaped feet out of yellow card stock or construction paper. Glue them in pairs to sheets of white butcher paper to create a circle. Mark each pair with a number. Put these same numbers on pieces of paper and place the papers in a bowl. When the music starts, all the toddlers walk in a circle on the duck feet. When the music stops, they all find a number to stand on. Then you draw a number out of the bowl and the winner receives a prize or a cupcake decorated with a rubber ducky. Play continues until everyone wins.
FUN RUBBER DUCKY BIRTHDAY PARTY BUBBLE ACTIVITIES
BUBBLE ENCASEMENT - Fill a wading pool with bubble solution. Place a hula-hoop in the pool and have your toddlers take turns getting into the center of the pool, while an adult slowly lifts the hoop up to encase them in a great big bubble.
BUBBLE PAINTING - Add a few drops of blue or green food coloring into bubble bottles. Give each child a piece of white paper and have them gently blow blue and green bubbles toward the paper. As the bubble pops, it will leave fun designs on the paper. After they dry, have the toddlers add rubber ducky stickers to create their own rubber ducky pictures. Be sure to do this outside, as food coloring can stain.
BUBBLES - Put on a bubble show using large bubble wands to make big bubbles that the toddlers can watch float, and change color and shape. They can also try to catch them or pop them before they hit the floor.

RUBBER DUCKY BIRTHDAY CAKE IDEAS
JUST DUCKY TUB CAKE - This is a perfect cake for a Rubber Ducky Birthday Party, courtesy of Family Fun.
Rubber Ducky Cake
Ingredients
- 2 3-ounce boxes of Berry Blue Jell-O gelatin
- 2 9- by 13-inch cakes
- 2 16-ounce tubs of white frosting
- Licorice pipe
- 2 large marshmallows and 8 mini marshmallows
- Decorators' gel
- 1 or 2 small rubber ducks
Instructions:
Prepare both boxes of gelatin according to the Jiggler recipe on the packages. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square pan and chill it. Halfway through the chilling time (about 45 to 50 minutes), whisk the gelatin vigorously to create ripples and bubbles, then let it finish chilling.
Stack the cakes, spreading a thin coating of icing between them. Trim the corners to create more of a rounded tub shape. Next, carve out a 1 1/2--inch-deep basin, using a knife to first outline it and a spoon to scoop out the cake. Leave a 2-inch-wide border around the sides and end of the tub and a slightly wider border where the faucets will go.
Frost the tub, including the walls, but not the floor of the basin. Now, for a faucet, turn the licorice pipe upside down and insert the thin portion of the stem into the wall of the basin as shown.
For each faucet knob, use kitchen scissors to snip 4 V-shaped notches in the top of a regular-size marshmallow, then gently press a mini marshmallow into each notch, as shown. The freshly cut marshmallow surface will be sticky enough to keep the pieces in place. Place the knobs atop the cake and use decorators' gel to label them H and C and outline the bases.
Spoon the Jiggler water into the basin and set the duck or ducks afloat.
RUBBER DUCKY BATHTUB CAKE - Bake 2 rectangle sheet cakes and cool. Transfer to cake boards. Cut out center of one cake leaving a 3" rim and freeze. Frost uncut cake with white frosting. Place frozen cake on top of frosted cake and frost the 2 cakes together to create the "bathtub." Put birthday message along 3" rim. Fill center with "water" made from vanilla pudding tinted blue with food coloring. Alternatively, make blue Jell-O in pan using an extra envelope of gelatin, so it will hold together. When set, scoop into "bathtub. Top with rubber duckies.
3-D RUBBER DUCKY CAKE - You can either make the target="_blank"> 3-D Rubber Ducky Cake according to the instructions with the pan and serve it on a platter surrounded by white frosting or Fondant bubbles, or chopped, blue Jell-O (water), or use the rubber ducky cake as a cake topper on a sheet cake. In that case, you would need to airbrush the cake light blue or use blue Color Mist. Add white "bubbles" around the ducky using either white frosting or Fondant. This is a perfect idea for a first birthday. Party Works also offers some cute little ducky cupcake holders if you would like to opt for individual "cakes" for each of the little ones.
RUBBER DUCKY BIRTHDAY PARTY CUPCAKES - Make white cupcakes and frost with blue frosting, or use blue Color Mist, or airbrush them light blue. Top each cupcake with a yellow Easter Peep, a mini rubber ducky, or the rubber ducky pick.
RUBBER DUCKY BIRTHDAY PARTY CAKE - Make or buy a sheet cake. Frost light blue, or use blue Color Mist, or airbrush the cake light blue. Add white "bubbles" to cake using either white frosting or Fondant. Top with rubber duckies in various sizes.
RUBBER DUCKY PHOTO CAKE - Take a picture of your child in a rubber ducky costume and have a bakery put it on the cake. Alternatively, add an edible sugar art rubber ducky design to a sheet cake.
RUBBER DUCKY BIRTHDAY PARTY FAVORS
Use cellophane bags with rubber ducky print or decorate clear bags with rubber ducky stickers.
