National Play-Doh Day

"Joe McVicker of Cincinnati sent some nontoxic wallpaper cleaner to his sister-in-law, a nursery school teacher.  She found it to be an excellent replacement for modeling clay.  In 1955 cVicker took the product to an educational convention and by 1956 Play-Doh was being sold commercially."
