Editorial Review

If this rubber duck were in a city fountain, passersby would shower it with breadcrumbs. It gazes up at its human owners with baleful blue eyes that make you want to do its bidding. In the bath, of course, it's ready to play. Made of rubber latex, the duck is nontoxic and water-resistant. Its coloring and design are more interesting than those of most rubber ducks--which is what makes it so captivating. Its deep yellow color is shaded with green with a touch of orange on the head, wings, and back. The bill is orange on the outside with yellow "lips." And the webbed feet are orange. With its assertive squeak, this little duck is sure to be a favored bathtime companion. Standing on its feet, this little ducky is 3.5 inches tall and 2.25 inches wide and deep. --Louise Carter

Product Description

Bathtime just isn't complete without our classic, latex rubber duck. Made out of all-natural latex rubber, which can be cleaned by gently by wiping with a sponge or cloth using warm water and a small amount of mild soap. An environment-friendly alternative to soap is to use a solution of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water, which also prevents soap or detergent residues on the toys. If you dislike the smell of vinegar you can substitute strained lemon juice. Keep your Rubber Duck out of direct sunlight to avoid having it dry out and become brittle over time. Many bath toys are made with Phthalates, a class of chemicals that are used to plasticize toys. These chemicals have been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, kidney and liver damage and asthma. Bisphenol-A (BPA), another hormone-disrupting chemical is also found in plastic toys. Because they remain freely mobile in plastic, phthalates are ingestible and leachable when children squeeze and gnaw on them. This has led some experts to recommend using no vinyl at all in the bath. Rubber Ducks are a great alternative to plastic bath toys. Rubber Duck is designed for kids ages 3+ years old. The classic natural rubber duck is the perfect playtime toy for young children and adults alike! However, due to small parts that could pose a choking hazard, it is NOT recommended for children under the age of 3.

I wanted to love this duck as a safe alternative to the other ducks on the market. It is really cute and my daughter loves it, but it got so full of mold I had to throw it away. At this price, it just isn't worth it! I wish they made this duck with no hole so that the mold issue could be avoided.

My daughter LOVED this duck as an infant, and still has affection for it now as a toddler...we keep it near the tub and she is sure to give it hugs and kisses when she sees it. We had many toys for her as infant- I was surprised that this duck was her toy of preference.
The duck is adorable- don't think twice about whether your child will like it. I have given it to countless friends as gifts and all had positive experiences.

I received this rubber duck for a shower gift from a family friend and at first I thought it was strange looking. This was until my 6 month-old son went nuts for it. He absolutely loves it! We bring it with us everywhere, not just in the tub. It is great for teething babies, they love to chew on the soft duck and there are no worries because it is chemical free. It is made of latex so if your kid has a latex allergy beware. Another friend of mine received this toy and has also said her baby went nuts for it. I brought it to a friends house and her daughter (8 months) was crazy for it too. It is awesome toy and a great distraction. My son prefers this odd little ducky to a regular rubber duck and most of his other toys. A++ toy.
