National Play-Doh Day is today! The modeling compound was originally used to remove soot from wallpaper. However, a nursery school teacher saw the value of using the compound for art projects. In 1956 the Rainbow Crafts Company began selling Play-Doh. Today Hasbro owns the rights to Play-Doh. People bought more than two billion cans of Play-Doh between 1955 and 2005. Idea: Children could make Play-Doh “balloons” to celebrate the day.
