Take a delightful bubble bath on January 13 in celebration of National Rubber Ducky Day. This charming holiday honors a beloved toy that has graced our lives for over a century, becoming an iconic symbol in Western pop culture.

A rubber duck, also spelled as rubber ducky, is a buoyant toy designed in the stylized shape of a duck. Despite its name, contemporary rubber ducks are typically crafted from vinyl plastic. The classic rubber duck sports a yellow hue with a flat base, yet collectors often revel in the diverse novelty versions of this cherished toy.
