🦆💛 Happy National Rubber Ducky Day! 💛🦆
Today we’re celebrating one of the most beloved bath toys ever!

✨ Did you know?
The classic rubber ducky we know today was inspired by a sculpture created by artist Peter Ganine all the way back in the 1940s. A little piece of art turned into a big childhood favorite!

🌊 And then… something incredible happened in 1992!
A shipping container spilled thousands of rubber ducks into the ocean. Instead of sinking, they floated—traveling across seas and washing up on shores years later. Scientists even used them to learn about ocean currents!

📚 That amazing true story inspired one of our favorite picture books:
10 Little Rubber Ducks by Eric Carle 🧡
A sweet story about little ducks drifting on the water and finding their way.

🦆🌞 From bathtubs to big oceans, rubber ducks remind us that small things can have big adventures.

💬 Question for kids:
Where do YOU think a rubber duck might travel next?

✨ Happy Last Night of Kwanzaa! ✨
Tonight we light the seventh candle to celebrate Imani (Faith) 🕯️

Imani means believing in ourselves, our families, our community, and our future 💛
It’s a night to reflect, give thanks, and feel proud of who we are.

We loved reading My First Kwanzaa, a beautiful and simple book that helps little ones learn about Kwanzaa, the candles, and the seven principles in a way they can understand 📖✨

As Kwanzaa comes to a close, we carry its lessons with us all year long.
🌾 Faith in ourselves
🌾 Faith in each other
🌾 Faith in our future

Heri za Kwanzaa! ❤️💚🖤
