The substance that would come to be known as Play-Doh was originally sold by a company called Kutol as a wallpaper cleaner. But walls in the 1950s were a lot less sooty than they had been in 1912, when the company was founded—coal's popularity was declining, and sales of the wallpaper cleaner were slumping. Kay Zufall, a teacher who happened to be the sister-in-law of one of Kutol's big wigs, came up with the idea of letting kids play with the stuff, and it was a big hit. Play-Doh hit the toy market in 1956, and it's become a phenomenon, having sold 3 billion cans since that debut. It's so iconic it even got its own perfume.

Never imagine that Play-Doh were created for any other purpose. I always thought they were for children to play or do crafts.

Play-Doh was created by Noah McVicker for Kutol Products in the 1930's for use as a wallpaper cleaner.
It was actually made as a wall paper cleaner by Noah McVicker and Joseph McVicker. They figured out it was more fun to play with and marketed it as a toy instead.

Play-Doh is a modeling compound used by young children for Arts and Crafts projects at home. The product was first manufactured in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, as a wallpaper cleaner in the 1930s. The product was reworked and marketed to Cincinnati schools in the mid-1950s.
