Here’s some fascinating trivia about Play-Doh:
1. It was originally invented in the 1950s as a WALLPAPER CLEANER — until the manufacturers realized that kids enjoyed playing with the special “modeling compound.” It was easier for children to use than traditional modeling clays.
2. At first, it was only available in off-white. Now there are over 30 different colors!
