We don’t know where or when the connection of ducks with bath time began, but it’s become very much a part of culture. Sesame Street’s Ernie definitely helped the sale of rubber duckies, but all kinds of duck-themed merchandise has found its way to the bathroom over the years. Among the cutest – and most practical – are the wonderful towels that have ducks printed on them.
The bright yellow of a ducking’s down is a great color for attracting your child’s attention. And the image of a feathery friend makes getting dried off so much cuter rather than it just being a chore for mom or dad. A couple of our selections would even let them wrap themselves up with a corner over their heads and will surely inspiring admiring comments – and maybe some great photos.
Let’s have a look at some of our own favorite duck bath towels for babies. Of course the best are the ones that the kids will love, that feel comfortable, and that are really absorbent!
Hudson Baby Print Woven Hooded Towel and Washcloth, Duck
This great towel features ducks all ready for the splashing water of the bathtub – the ducks are all dressed up in a rain hat and boots!
This towel is 100% cotton, providing a great feel against baby’s skin. It’s absorbent and cool, even when he or she will be laying on it or wrapped on it for a bit while you get everything together.
The towel measures 30″ by 36″.
As with many baby towels, it’s not as thick or absorbent as an adult towel. That does make it more easy to manipulate than an adult towel, though.
Luvable Friends Animal Face Hooded Woven Terry Baby Towel, Duck
“Duck face” takes on a whole new meaning with this 100% terry cotton towel! No, it’s not an ugly pose for a selfie. Instead it’s a fantastic hooded towel!
The color of this baby towel is pretty close to actual duck down and the hood with a duck bill and eyes. There’s even a little tuft at the top!
The towel measures a standard 30″ by 36″, making a great size for a newborn up to an average-sized toddler.
It’s a great, soft towel, although like many, it’s pretty thin.
It’ll also make for a lot of incredibly cute baby photos wrapped in this towel – your cute little duckling, without the ugly kind of duck face!
Spasilk Hooded Terry Bath Towel with Washcloths, Duck Yellow, 2-Count
This is actually a set of two towels and 2 washcloths, so you can always have one ready even on laundry day.
These towels are 80% cotton / 20% polyester. They are smaller than other towels here, measuring 30″ by 26″. That means they will only be good for most babies up to about 6 months old.
These are cute with their subtle yellow color and the embroidered duck on the hood of the towels. While they’re not highly absorbent, they can serve as a good wrap for baby while moving him or her after a more basic drying.
Jj Cole Two-Piece Hooded Towel Set Yellow Ducks
This towel is a bit more subdued in showing off the ducks, but it’s a great towel overall and more absorbent than many others. Unfortunately our photo probably doesn’t show it well, but the ducks are the yellow figures on the towel’s hood.
A small washcloth is included in this 100% cotton set. The towel measures 30″ by 30″. That might be too small after the baby reaches 4 or 5 months old. But for a newborn it’s fantastic.
Its softness and absorbency are decent. The towel has a rating btween 330 and 360 GSM (grams per square meter). The higher the number, the better; this is moderate.
Luxury Bamboo Animal Baby Hooded Towel
Here’s another great towel that can almost serve as a costume as well. Your baby will just love “dressing up” as a duckling after her bath, and you’ll love how absorbent is, too.
The towel is actually made from 97% bamboo and 3% microfibers. That was a new idea for us but the bamboo is actually incredibly soft. The towel is often thicker than many, which helps in its absorbency. The GSM is 500, which is pretty high.
It can be washed normally and air dried. It’ll be a great addition to your linen closet!
Wrapping It Up
Baby bath towels have to be functional, but it also helps that they’re cute. Since ducks are one of the most popular bathroom toys and decorations, towels that incorporate them are very popular. Here we’ve shared just a few that we really like and hope you’ll like them as well!
