Play-Doh celebrates 60 years of 'shaping' childhoods…

A childhood staple since its introduction in 1956, Play-Doh celebrates 60 years of production this year.

Owned by toys giant, Hasbro, who also have delivered the likes of Monopoly, Transformers, My Little Pony and Nerf to kids the world over, Play-Doh is a trusted company favourite, especially around Christmas time since it’s such an easy stocking-stuffer solution.

Since 2006, Hasbro has been celebrating ‘World Play-Doh Day’, inspiring artists of all ages to open a can of ‘doh and create anything that takes their fancy. ‘World Play-Doh Day’ was celebrated last month on September 16th, but the Play-Doh festivities are sure to continue throughout the rest of 2016.

And it’s not just for little kids. We occasionally pop open a can to muck about with in the office; far more relaxing than squishing a stress-ball we find!  Lisa Andrews

Play-Doh is available at all good toy and department stores.
