Play-Doh began life in North America as a wallpaper cleaning product! Its pliable properties meant it was also ideal for moulding into shapes. In 1956 it was demonstrated as a potential “toy” at conventions. A year later Play-Doh was advertised on TV as an official product. Play-Doh became available to the European market in 1964 and remains a popular and enduring toy.
