Duckies Excited about Reading!

Using glycerin based soap, you will have the opportunity to create your own unique soapy masterpiece. There's no lye exposure involved in this process, as we use alternative soap making techniques. We will add a little bit of magic with cosmetic grade glitter, vibrant colors, and optional essential oils for a delightful scent. To make it even more fun, we will embed adorable little rubber duckie toys and decorate the tops with beautiful white soap curls that resemble waves. By the end of the workshop, each participant will have a lovely 3 oz. soap creation featuring a charming 2” rubber duckie. You can remove it from the mold the following day and start using it right away.

A Short History of the Rubber Duckie

The first duckie

By Anabelle Bernard Fournier

In the 1940s, a sculptor by the name of Peter Ganine made the first rubber duck. In order to make a living, he patented many of his animal sculptures and had them reproduced as toys - and this is where the first commercial rubber duck comes from. This first edition of the floating toy, made of plastic instead of natural rubber, was extremely popular, even by today's standards: over 50 million of them were sold. The patent mentions "upcapsizeable duck", which means that the duck can float. From there, the rubber duck made its way into the bathrooms, hearts and minds of Americans.
