SUMMARY:National Sticker Day
DESCRIPTION:National Sticker Day on January 13th recognizes all the ways stickers brighten up a page or send a special message. The day celebrates all things stickers\, from the custom printing of them to sharing stickers. Every sticker has a story. \n\n\n \n\n\n\n#NationalStickerDay\n\n\n\nHistorians credit the European merchants in the 1880s as the first to stick labels to their products\, in an effort to promote their goods and wares to passersby. \nThese savvy\, pre-industrial entrepreneurs used a gum paste to get the labels to adhere and\, well\, stick: hence “stickers.” By the 1900s a sticker-specific paste had been developed and was widely used\, most notably on stamps\, which dried and then would re-apply when moistened. \nThe observance is in honor of R. Stanton Avery\, who was born on that day in 1907. Avery was the original creator of the adhesive label with removable backing. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL STICKER DAY\nNational Sticker Day offers so many ways to celebrate! We won’t limit it to any age group either\, so be sure to invite everyone to the party. That means everyone deserves a sticker whether they are shopping online\, promoting their business\, or learning something new. While you are planning your celebration\, be sure to check out these ideas\, too. \n\nHost a sticker collection contest. Award prizes for the largest\, most colorful\, and most original collections.\nStickers bring in business\, too. Create a buzz around special days using stickers.\nThey inspire creativity in the classroom. Ask students to design stickers for events and campaigns.\nGet organized! Color code your favorite projects with stickers that keep you on track.\n\nTake photos of them to post on social media using #NationalStickerDay. \nLearn more about the history behind National Sticker Day and Sticker Giant by reading Celebration Spotlight. \nNATIONAL STICKER DAY HISTORY\nStickerGiant\, a promotional sticker and product label company based in Longmont\, Colorado\, created National Sticker Day in 2015 to celebrate all the fun stickers bring to all ages. \nSource Link.

SUMMARY:National Rubber Ducky Day
DESCRIPTION:According to a 1973 Sesame Street calendar\, Rubber Duckie’s Birthday is January 13th so around the country it’s National Rubber Ducky Day! A friend of Ernie and Big Bird\, Duckie made his debut in a February 1970 episode. \n\n\n \n#NationalRubberDuckyDay\nThe rubber ducky (also spelled duckie) has come a long way from his first concept as a chew toy for children. While the origin of the first rubber ducky is uncertain\, many rubber molded toys came about when rubber manufacturing developed in the late 1800s. They produced a variety of toys from dolls and various animal shapes\, including the rubber duck. \nIn 1928\, Landon Smart Lawrence received the earliest patent for a rubber duck toy. His clever design weighted the toy so that when it tipped it returned to an upright position. The sketch included with the patent was that of a duck. \nDuring World Wars I and II\, rubber was a valuable commodity. Rationing became mandatory and by the 1940s with the advent of plastic\, the rubber ducky began being produced in vinyl and plastic. Russian Sculptor Peter Ganine sculpted many animal figures. One\, a duck\, he later designed and patented into a floating toy that closely resembles the rubber ducky we have become familiar with today. \nSales of the iconic yellow rubber ducky we’ve come to know today soared in Britain in 2001. Why? A British Tabloid\, The Sun\, reported Queen Elizabeth II had a rubber duck in her bathroom that wore an inflatable crown. \nThe rubber ducky became a Toy Hall of Fame inductee in 2013. Founded in 1998\, the Hall of Fame has only inducted 52 other toys. \n\n\n \nHOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL RUBBER DUCKY DAY\nSpend time with your favorite rubber ducky. Share photos of your rubber ducky collection. Discover all the different kinds of rubber duckies available. Use #NationalRubberDuckyDay to post on social media. \nNATIONAL RUBBER DUCKY DAY HISTORY\nWhile our research did not uncover the creator of National Rubber Ducky Day\, National Day Calendar® is pretty fond of the idea that it has to do with Sesame Street’s Rubber Duckie. \nSource Link:
