You may ask why? … because that’s what Ernie says!
While scrubbing himself clean at bath time and singing that song we all know from Sesame Street, Ernie said January 13th is his favorite bath time toy’s birthday.
The rubber ducky was first patented in 1928 by Landon Smart Lawrence. They are most often used to make toddlers feel more at ease when taking a bath. Having a friendly, yellow toy makes the water less scary to the little ones and gives them something to play with while a parent scrubs them clean.
