National Play-doh Day
On September 16th, National Play-Doh Day honors a child's modeling clay. Play-Doh had more practical uses before it made its way to the craft shelf, but it had to be relegated to the craft shelf.

Joe McVicker of Cincinnati, Ohio, a Play-Doh entrepreneur, started it as a wallpaper cleaner. Kutol Products Company was hired by his mother and his brother-in-law as a result of his father's death in 1949. Oil furnaces began replacing coal-burning furnaces right around the time. It wasn't long before the wallpaper cleaner sales dwindled..
In 1955, McVicker began using the cleaner as a modeling clay in classrooms and daycares for students.. Seeing the product work, he named it Play-Doh and he went into business with his uncle under the name of Rainbow Crafts Company, Inc. a year later. McVicker applied for a patent in 1958 to shield their new product. However, the patent wasn't released until January 26, 1965, but it wasn't approved until January 26, 1965. General Mills had bought the company by then, by that time, it had acquired it.
At first, Rainbow Crafts Company had only one color – white.. But soon, red, blue, and yellow would appear, followed, followed by red, blue, and yellow. By the gallon, the company sold them by the gallon. They updated their menus and 11-ounce sizes were included once more.
Around the same time, McVicker was playing Play-Doh, a new children's television show, began broadcasting on CBS. Captain Kangaroo was played by Bob Keeshan in the role of Captain Kangaroo. Although Play-Doh's profits were encouraging, they weren't exactly spectacular. McVicker had an idea. Captain Kangaroo begged Captain Kangaroo to sell his modeling clay on his show. The children's iconic modeling clay took off, according to the show host, and the children's iconic modeling clay took off.
The Toy Hall of Fame in 1998 welcomed Play-Doh into its hallowed halls.
