Grandma Duck Sweatshirt: Embroidered Mama Duck with a Duckling for Each Grandchild

This grandma duck sweatshirt shows a round white mama duck with an orange beak and orange feet, two little yellow ducklings riding on her back and one walking in front of her, with the word grandma arched underneath in lowercase serif letters. You choose how many ducklings she carries, so the sweatshirt can count every grandchild. Every stitch is 100% real embroidery, stitched into the fabric rather than printed.

What is on the grandma duck sweatshirt?

The grandma duck sweatshirt has 3 parts:

• The mama duck and her ducklings: centered on the chest. The duck is stitched in white with soft gray wing lines and a black eye, and the ducklings are bright yellow with orange beaks, feet and wing marks.
• The word grandma: arched under the ducks, in white or black thread.
• The sleeve (optional): a name, initials or short word and an icon from the font and icon chart, in the font and thread color you choose, on the left or right sleeve.

How many ducklings can it have?

You can choose 1 to 6 ducklings, at no extra cost. The photos show 3 ducklings, and the last photo shows a real sweatshirt with 4: two ride on the mama duck’s back and two walk at her feet. We place the ducklings on her back and around her feet so the design stays balanced, and your free proof shows the exact layout before we stitch.

Which color should you choose?

Pick a color in the options above and the photos switch to it, so you can see the design on that color before you order.

The white mama duck stands out most on the dark and bright colors, where white thread for grandma reads clearly too. On light colors the white duck looks softer, so the gray wing lines, the orange feet and the yellow ducklings carry the design; choose Black thread for grandma on these colors, as the photos show.

How do you order your sweatshirt?

To order your sweatshirt, follow 5 steps:

• Choose the sweatshirt color and size in the options above.
• Choose White or Black thread for the word grandma.
• Choose how many ducklings to stitch, one for each grandchild.
• Choose whether to add sleeve embroidery, and if you do, type the name or initials and pick the icon, font, thread color and sleeve.
• Add it to your cart; we email a free design proof before we stitch.

How do you add a name or icon on the sleeve?

Sleeve embroidery is optional and goes on one sleeve. Type a short name or initials, such as a grandchild’s name, and pick an icon, a font and a thread color from the charts in the photos, or leave the icon off. White thread is preselected because it reads best on the dark sweatshirts; pick Black or another dark thread for the light colors.

Is it a grandma sweatshirt with ducklings for each grandchild?

Yes. It is a grandma sweatshirt with ducklings that grows with the family: choose one duckling per grandchild today, and order a new one when the next baby arrives. Add the grandchildren’s initials on the sleeve to make the count personal.

Is it a duck or a goose on the sweatshirt?

It is a white farm duck, the round kind with an orange beak and orange webbed feet, so it suits anyone who loves a grandma goose sweatshirt as much as a duck one. The ducklings are drawn as fluffy yellow chicks, the way little ones picture baby ducks.

Is it a good gift for a grandma?

Yes. This embroidered grandma sweatshirt is an easy Mother’s Day, Grandparents Day, birthday or Christmas gift, and a sweet way to tell a new grandma the family is growing. Pick her favorite color, set the ducklings to the number of grandchildren and add their initials on the sleeve.

What happens after you order?

We email you a free digital design proof, and you can ask for unlimited edits. Once you approve it, we embroider your sweatshirt to order and ship it from the USA; the estimated delivery date is shown on this page. For a birthday or a holiday, order at least two weeks ahead.

Which size should you choose?

Each piece is made to order, so it is not eligible for size exchanges. Open the size guide on this page and compare the measurements with a top you already own before you order; we suggest sizing up if you are between sizes.

How should you wash an embroidered sweatshirt?

To keep the embroidery bright and flat, follow 4 steps:

• Turn the sweatshirt inside out before washing.
• Wash it cold on a gentle cycle.
• Tumble dry low or hang it to dry.
• Iron on the reverse side, never directly on the embroidery.

Frequently asked questions

Is the grandma duck printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered. The ducks, the word grandma and the sleeve name are stitched in thread, so they have a raised texture you can feel and will not crack or peel like a print.

Can it say nana or mimi instead of grandma?

No. This design always says grandma; you choose the thread color of the word and how many ducklings sit around the mama duck.

Are there other duck designs?

Yes. The duck in boots sweatshirt has three white ducks in Santa hats and red rain boots, and more designs are in our duck sweatshirts and animal lover gifts.
