🦆 It’s National Rubber Ducky Day! 🦆
And in Early Years, we know just how much learning can come from the simplest resources.
Let us reintroduce Doris Duck — bath-time superfan, professional floater, and a familiar face in Moo Music sessions alongside Maggie Moo.
Legend has it that Doris once tried to count how many rubber ducks were in the bathroom…
But one squeaked unexpectedly, another disappeared under a bubble mountain, and one reappeared somewhere it definitely wasn’t a moment ago 🫧🛁
The counting has never been completed.
Sound familiar?
Those everyday bath-time favourites aren’t just cute — they support sensory exploration, early maths language, communication, and emotional wellbeing. They invite curiosity, imaginative play and shared moments of connection — all things we value so highly in Early Years practice.
At Moo Music, we use familiar, everyday experiences (like bath-time) as a starting point for learning. We even have a song called “Bathtime”, which supports:
🎵 Routine and transition
🎵 Listening and attention
🎵 Language development
🎵 Calm, positive engagement
Our sessions are designed to fit naturally into nursery and school life, supporting EYFS learning through music, movement and play.

👉 Message us to organise a taster for your nursery or Early Years setting
And just for fun…
👇 How many rubber ducks do you think are hiding in your setting right now?
Much Moo love,
Karen 💛
