The product was first manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, as a wallpaper cleaner in the 1930s. At a national education convention in 1955, word quickly spread to Macy's and Marshall Field's about a new type of modeling clay. By 1956, the wallpaper cleaner had officially become Play-Doh! Play-Doh is a modeling compound used by young children using their creative imagination for arts and crafts projects at home.  Check out all of their products including Play-Doh sets, videos, apps, toys, modeling compound, arts, and crafts.
