Rubber ducky art is a category of art that primarily focuses on appealing to, and communicating with, children. These works are frequently whimsical in execution. Although these prints can be found elsewhere, the majority of rubber ducky prints are considered nursery art and are popular for decorating rooms and businesses that are meant to cater to young children.
These duckling images are suitable for children of all ages and often depict whimsical subjects. Often, these prints use themes of family or everyday instances, most commonly bathing, in order to communicate their message. Works such as 'All in a Row' by Sarah Street and 'I Love to Sail the Seas' by Maria Carluccio are common examples of these thematic pictures for children.
Nursery art like these duckling images are rarely educational, although many of them depict these whimsical prints in a way that promotes learning and curiosity. These works, such as 'Ducks-Reading' and 'Ducks-Share' by Beverly Lopez help to provide a visual cue into good habits and behaviors.
Rubber ducky art is a unique form of art that appeals to young children of any sex and are often used in nurseries either as the sole decorative theme or in conjunction with other subjects. Like many pictures for children, they aren't seen very often away from areas that cater to young children, however, these whimsical prints often result in emotions of nostalgia and pleasant memories among older audiences, as well.
