Rubber Ducks Ideas: Using Rubber Ducks In The Classroom

I am always on the lookout for unique items to use in our classroom.  Brain research tells us that the brain loves novelty so anytime we can bring something new and different into our learning, the students will be more engaged and their brains will learn more.    So how about some rubber ducks ideas for the classroom?

And what’s more fun than rubber duckys?!

Then I set out out to make some fun center/workstation/hippopotamus activities with my rubber ducks ideas!

The great thing about these duckies?  DIFFERENTIATION and EASY PREP!

First, I used a Sharpie and wrote letters on the ducks.

And now we can learn our uppercase letters, lowercase letters and sounds!

Then I wrote numbers on my ducks with a Sharpie!

I tried using dot stickers and putting those on the bottom of the ducks but the stickers wanted to peel so it’s better to just write on the ducks with a Sharpie!

Now we can work on numbers, counting, adding and subtracting!
