RUBBER DUCK PARTY COSTUMES

My kids were never that keen on dressing up unless it was a costume that they had chosen. Also many toddlers don't like wearing costumes especially if it involves something covering their head so don't force them.

However if the birthday child wants to wear something a Rubber Duck Party costumes Amazon has some really good choices.

RUBBER DUCK PARTY DECORATIONS

  • Put up rubber duck posters and pictures everywhere
  • Glue down a line of rubber ducks from the gate to your front door.
  • Make a cardboard cutouts of duck feet and stick those around the floor. One trail could lead to the bathroom, another to the food area or to the garden. This is very useful for directing toddlers to a certain place.
  • If the weather is warm, set up a water play area using buckets, bowls and paddling pools and fill with all shapes and sizes of ducks and duck utensils.
  • Put up lots of white balloons to represent bubbles
  • Kids tend to think of ducks as yellow so base your decor around that color or pick your kids favorite color and add yellow accents.
  • Decorate the table with yellow and blue (for water) or green (for grass) and dot small rubber ducks in between the food plates.
  • Tie a small duck to the back of each chair with a label saying the child's name.
  • Make a BIG impact with this BIG Rubber Duck Standee which also makes a great photo opportunity.
