1-year-old’s Yellow Duckie Birthday Party

by -Nat

Yellow ducks create smiles on big and little faces.  Something is comforting about seeing a little yellow duck.  Children love rubber ducks in the bathtub.  Sesame Street’s Ernie even sees a song to his rubber duck.  Rubber ducks cover baby items from booties to bibs.  A Yellow Duckie Birthday Party for a 1-year-old is a cute transitional birthday party for a baby becoming a toddler. 

Fill a toddler pool with water and float a dozen or more ducks with a red dot drawn on the bottom of them with a permanent marker.  Give each child an opportunity to pick a duck.  All the ducks will have a dot since this is a 1-year-old party.  All the children can receive  a cute rubber duck for a prize.

Of course, you and the other guests will have to sing “The Five Little Ducks.”  Most of the toddlers and older children should be able to sing this song with the birthday child and do the movements.  Also, gather the children in a circle to play Duck, Duck, Goose. Paint yellow ducks on the children’s arms with face paint.

For decorations, you can use duck-themed paper goods.  Decorating in all yellow, with stuffed or rubber ducks displayed around the party area will appeal to toddlers.  If yellow isn’t a favorite party color, use light blue as your primary color representing the sky and water and accessorize with yellow.

Bake cupcakes and decorate them with blue icing.  Put a yellow duck in the center of each one.  Another option is to have someone make a birthday cake in the shape of a yellow duck for your 1-year-old’s Yellow Duckie Birthday Party.
