Play-Doh is a name brand of multi-colored modeling compound. It was originally created in the 1930s by Noah McVicker of soap manufacturer Kutol Products as a wallpaper cleaner, but the product was re-branded as a craft item when McVicker's nephew Joe McVicker noted that school children were using it to make Christmas ornaments. In 1956 the pair formed the company Rainbow Crafts to market it, but a series of mergers and buy-outs led to the product being owned by Kenner, then Tonka, and then finally Hasbro.
Remember, Play-Doh is "Fun to play with, not to eat!"
