It's National Play-Doh Day. Have some fun with this stuff.

Did you know it was national Play-Doh day? I certainly didn't.

Play-Doh is that wonderful material that almost any kid played with, I know I did. I made up all sorts of different things out of it and probably ate a bit of it by mistake.

I do remember making cars and castles out of this moldable piece of joy and I often forget to put it away. This stuff would turn very brittle after being exposed to the air for too long. I'm sure they must have combated this to a certain degree over time.

There was one set that was a barber shop with little people. You would push the Play-Doh through into the little people and it would come out as hair. You'd then take the plastic scissors and give them a haircut. I usually ending up making them bald more often than not.

Look at this there is one, it even has some clippers in it haha

Don't forget to play with that Play-Doh to develop those ever so important motor skills

Now the real crazy part is that Play-Doh was initially a wallpaper cleaner! That's right.

In the late 1920s, a young man named Cleo McVicker was tasked with shutting down and selling off the remaining assets of a failing Cincinnati soap company called Kutol. In the process, however, he persuaded Kutol’s parent company in Chicago to let him revive the brand and hired his brother Noah McVicker to help him turn things around.
While heading the company in 1933, Cleo met with representatives from the Kroger grocery chain who were reportedly looking for a wallpaper cleaner to sell in their stores. At the time, burning coal was a common way to heat homes, but it left soot that was hard to clean off the wallpaper. (When vinyl wallpaper became more popular in the mid-20th century, you could simply clean it with soap and water, but this wasn’t the case for earlier wallpapers.)

Cleo McVicker negotiated a contract between Kroger and Kutol, and his brother got to work inventing a version of the dough-like substance we’ve come to know and love. All consumers had to do was roll it across their soiled walls to clean the soot and dirt.
