This is a fun a simple thing for children to make and then float on a local pond....

That's great Fenlander - thanks for sharing and I'll see if I can make one with my son at the moot this weekend.

Hey I like that!
Very cool, must try that! I know to make the dolls, but never tried or thought of (making a) Duck.
Thanks,

The SPT [Society for Primitive Technology] books have a few ideas for similar stuff; I think that Mors K may have been a contributor.

Interesting to know if it could be used as a decoy with a little artistic adornment.

Decoys were usually made from tule (true Bullrush AKA clubrush), but cattail (Reed Mace) was also used.

Luring in other ducks to a body of water where they can be shot or trapped.
