Back-to-School Ducks: Fun Favors for Teachers, Classrooms & Students

It’s that time of year again — new pencils, fresh notebooks, and a lot of excitement (and maybe a few nerves). Whether you’re a teacher setting up your classroom, a parent preparing surprise treats, or a student who loves a good desk buddy, rubber duck gifts are the perfect way to waddle into the school year with fun and flair.

At The Lucky Duck Shop, we’ve got an adorable lineup of back-to-school gifts that make A+ choices for students, teachers, and classrooms alike. Our teacher rubber ducks and themed classroom favors are designed to make the first day back feel extra special.

• 🎁 Versatile: Use as rewards, desk décor, classroom mascots, or party favors.

• 💡 Motivational: Fun characters that help build positive classroom vibes.
