My kids and I love rubber ducks! The obsession began almost a decade ago when my oldest daughter was a young toddler. She absolutely loved ducks, so I started buying her new ducks whenever I saw one in the baby department at the store. At one point I ordered a bunch of ducks online. However, when the package arrived, I discovered that these particular ducks were not safe or recommended for young children. After much thought and consideration, I decided to use the unsafe ducks as craft materials so that I could safely display the rubber ducks out of reach of my daughter but within sight for her to enjoy.
I started by making a Halloween duck-oration wreath and then created a Thanksgiving duck-oration wreath followed by a Christmas duck-oration wreath. I then made ducky wreaths for Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day. I was also a bit obsessed with making wreaths for all the other holidays and seasons of the year. I eventually also purchased some Easter rubber ducks from Amazon so that I could create a wreath to display in my home from St. Patrick’s Day through Easter.
Easter is a wonderful time to incorporate rubber ducks into your home decor. The holiday is known for eggs and baby animals, and ducks fit perfectly into that theme. Adding a duck-oration wreath to your home is a fun and unique way to celebrate the holiday. The wreath can be made using a variety of materials such as foam wreath bases, hot glue, and Easter grass. You can also add small Easter eggs, flowers, and other embellishments to make the wreath even more festive. The end result is a cute and cheerful decoration that will bring a smile to the faces of anyone who enters your home.
If you too love rubber ducks, here are my simple instructions for making an Easter duck-oration wreath.
