Elf on the Shelf Ducky

Name: Elf on the Shelf Ducky
Interests: Keeping the magic of Christmas Alive and hanging out with my pet Bernard.
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts
Brand: Oriental Trading Company
Price: $2.98


Always watching

Who knew that I would actually enjoy the Elf on the Shelf Christmas tradition as much as I did. My
daughter even managed to one up the elves a few times. She would take what they did and make it even
better and bigger before her brother, sister, or I woke up to see what the elves were up to.

Elf on the Shelf rubber ducky loves hanging out with the official Elf on the Shelf, Elfie. They are great friends.
Sometimes Elf on the Shelf Ducky causes quite a raucous. She does have a green outfit and rumour has it that
if your elf wears green then she gets into even more trouble. It's officially the last day that either elf will move. They
are off to the North Pole now. Until next year. Merry Christmas!

12th Annual Sooke Ducky Race


I don't have this ducky.

Name: Ducky Race
Interests: Floating
Where to Find: In Sooke, the first Saturday in May.
Brand: Doesn't say
Price: $20.00 for a quack pack (5 duckies to race)

We attended our very first rubber ducky race today. I've always wanted to go to a rubber ducky race. In Grade 8,
when I first started collecttng rubber ducks, my best friend and I bought ducks from Sunridge mall in Calgary. These
ducks were part of a ducky race. I have bought ducks from a ducky race in England before too. I was really looking forward
to buying a Quack pack today, but when we arrived at 11:15 AM all 2500 duckies were sold. Next year, another 500
duckies will be added and I will drive to Sooke to buy early bird ducky tickets.

What is a rubber ducky race?

Ducks are purchased and numbered (usually the money goes to charity) and you are assigned your ducky numbers.
The duck are placed in a body of water. For example, the Sooke River. The first ducky across the finish line is the winner.
The Sooke ducky race had 4 winners with cash prizes.

The ducks took longer to float down the river than I expected and not all the duckies made it across the finish line. Volunteers
kayaked and rescued all the stragglers after the race.

The kids and I were entertained all the way to the end of the event at 3 PM. There were so many ducky games to play
that we didn't even make it to all of them. Here are a few that we played.








 Alicia said this is a duck throwing toast with jam on it.

Duckies packed away in the bins

Duck-o




There were a few ducks that I didn't have. I didn't see anyone selling ducks but there might have been someone
giving them out as prizes at one of the games or there might have been some for sale that we missed. It
would be neat if collectors met up to trade duckies at the event.

I received many compliments on my ducky earrings, necklace and cell phone case.

The kids and I had a great time going quackers today and we are looking forward to next year. Next year, I'll also take some pictures and videos of the ducks floating down the river too.

Batman Ducky

Name: Batman Ducky
Interests: Watching BatDad.
Where to Find: Zydeco Gifts in Victoria
Brand: Paladone Products and DC Comics
Price: $11.98 (purchased in 2017)

Quote from the box: “Soak in Safety with the Batman Bath Ducky”


No matter what your interest, I guarantee there is a ducky out there for you. Take, for example, Batman Ducky.
Who doesn’t like superheros? I love that this duck still looks like a rubber ducky thanks to the perfect shape wings
and beak. If superheros really don't do it for you, there are baseball or hockey ducks or any other sport or interest you
could ever imagine. Even bowling.

The box advertise taking this ducky in the tub, but I have to advise against this because there is a hole in the bottom,
so he will take on water and mold will get inside him (and you won’t be able to see it through him because he is the
same colour as mould). Therefore, this ducky could potentially turn a safe bath into a dangerous mould squirting bath.

Old School Airplane Pilot Ducky

Name: Old School Airplane Pilot Ducky
Interests: Flying Private jets.
Where to Find: VarageSale
Brand: No idea
Price: $0.83 
Fisher Price Toys are built to last

Old School Airplane Ducky is the only ducky I own that can swivel his head. He doesn’t have any holes, so I don’t have to worry about mould. He has scrubby spikes on the bottom of him. My daughter suggested he could be a nail brush, but I think he makes a better massager. His hat, goggles and distinguished beak are great too.

I loved watching the cartoon log driver's waltz as a kid. These Duckies work at logging trees up mountains in BC.
They enjoy watching off road motorcyclists borrowing the logging roads.They also love camping and being in the forest. The first guy at the very top has a beard. The second guy in the red plaid is holding an axe. The guy at the very bottom is holding a saw.
