Ducks are as much a part of Easter traditions as rabbits and chicks. As they spring from their eggs, they’re great reminders of new life the holiday signifies.
There are so many great duckling plushies out there that it was hard to narrow it down to just a few for this article. But we’ve picked out our favorites and wanted to share them with you! We hope you’ll enjoy them, too.
There’s no ugly ducklings in this bunch – but if you remember, the ugly ducking was really a swan. One of these days, we’ll have to look into swan plushies, too!
