For a fun time that won’t break the bank, visit your local fish hatchery to feed the fish and/or ducks. Ours sells bags of fish food for just $1. Not sure how to properly feed the ducks? Princess Clara will show you how — in just 3 easy steps!!
Step 1: Sprinkle a bit of magic dust into your fish/duck food. Bonus points if you’re dressed up in princess clothes!
Step 2: Throw food at ducks.
Step 3: Laugh uncontrollably!!!!
(Repeat steps 1-3 as needed.)
Have fun!!

Dear Valerie,
Those poor fish, having to watch the ducks eat! Hopefully some of the food fell into the water.
Love,
Mark

I think the fish managed to get a few bites… and the ducks were SUPER friendly. I wonder why?

Great idea! I never thought about going to the fish hatchery just to *feed* the fish…I’ll have to see if ours is still open at this time of year–thanks for the tip

It’s great fun! Clara couldn’t feed the fish or ducks without laughing hysterically… she even got the hiccups.

She is adorable! When we visit my brother, we feed the ducks near him, and there is one who will jump for food like a dog!

That is hilarious!!! I never knew ducks could jump like that! lol

I have to agree with you, feeding ducks is a great, fun and frugal kid activity. We have a duck pond near our house and the kids can’t get enough of it.

I know, right?? Clara has been asking to go back ever since. I had no idea something so simple would make her SO happy! I love stuff like that!

Gorgeous photos. Love the *magic dust*. We just have to find a place where the “Do not feed the ducks” signs are absent!

So sweet, Nicole, thank you!! We have lots of signs like that too around here, but don’t give up — I’m sure you’ll find someplace and it’s totally worth the search. Have fun!!
