Description:

This is going to be a really fun but only for serious and dedicated swappers! Please don't join if you don't think you can last at least the 6 rounds it takes to get yours back!

Select Your Rubber Duckie must be no bigger then 6 inches so we aren't costing some people a ton on shipping. write your name and address on the bottom of the Rubber Duckie so we know his home!

now, get a box for your friend, make sure (s)he is comfortable in there! (we don't want him/her to break!)

next, select a small photo album (at least 24 pages) include this in the box.

send to your partner!!

now, partners: Take Rubber Duckie to 4 places around you and take photos of the Rubber Duckie select and print out (please go use a photo machine and not your home printer so the stay nice) 4 photos and include them into the album with a note about where the picture was taken!

EDIT, PLEASE READ!! INSTEAD OF DOING 6 SEPARATE, WE WILL JUST DO THE FOLLOWING: We will treat this like a circle pass. each Rubber Duckie you get, you will do your part and send it on the the same partner each time. this way we don't risk getting repeat partners. once you get the last Rubber Duckie, he should be your last and ready to send home when you'r done. please only keep each Rubber Duckie for a max of a week and a half! that way we don't get a Rubber Duckie traffic jam at one person! :D if when the partners are assigned, two people get each other, please let me know asap so we can sort it out, but hopefully we each get someone different then the person who has us! :D the first Rubber Duckie still needs to be sent out by the 8th to get this rolling.

your Rubber Duckie will be going on 6 adventures and then come home!

PLEASE NOTE AT THIS DATE I ONLY HAVE THREE SIGNED UP SO OUR DUCKIES MAY ONLY GET THREE ADVENTURES!!!!

I did lot's of these types of "swaps when I was teaching kinderdarten, they were lots of fun! You just have to make sure that the swappers know and respect the rules of swapping, in order to make sure Duckie keeps moving along. I have the swap on watch right now to see if more sign up before I go out an buy a little guy!

We did this in the Girl Scout troop that I was a leader of. We used a teddy bear and sent it all over the world. It was fun.

Putting on my watch list for now. Already have a rubber duckie. Our German Shephard likes them. I get the vinyl ones at Wal-Mart in the baby section for 97 cents and they last him a lot longer than the vinyl dog toys do.

How often will the "traveling" happen? 1x a month? Just wanting to get an idea so I can be sure I can commit to all 6 rounds

this looks similar to the gnome swap; here is general idea

send gnome to assigned partner, receive gnome keep for approx. two weeks and send to next person. how will we determine who gets the gnome after the first time.

also the description given to me by @greenqueen86

@koalascout It should have a circle effect, you will keep sending to the same partner since you should continue to get different gnomes from your sender. Imagine we're all sitting in a circle and passing them from left to right and we continue until the gnome hits its 6th rotation and then It goes home. You should know because mainly because you'll be putting the last 4 of 24 photos in their album. Does that make sense?

oops forgot to change gnome to duck. hope that helps anyone trying to figure out how it will work.

The swap send date says April 22nd but your description say they should be sent out by April 8th which is the sign update, which is correct ? Thanks☺

Thank you koalascout for making more clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AJoyCraftS 04/10/2014 #

So we will know it is the last duckie when there are 20 photos on the albums right ? Since there are 6 people in the swap 5 adventures.

lildorothy 04/23/2014 #
