Whether you know it like the product, “play-doh” or “play dough.” It’s a timeless product for hours of kid-friendly fun. Adventures of Abby girl recently tried an earth-friendly playdough company located in the Hudson Valley. However, as I was watching my daughter play, I started wondering where this product came from originally. This is a sponsored post.
“Play-doh” was actually an accident. I can’t help but think of Homer Simpson’s iconic “doh.” It was literally a “doh” moment that created play-doh. It was originally, a wallpaper cleaner product. In the early 1930s, a soap company was going out of business and in order to save the business from going under, this non-toxic product was created. Surprisingly it kept Kutol Products going for about twenty years.
However, it too started to lose interest especially after World War 2. So it was reinvented into what we know today as Play-doh. Amazingly Kaptain Kanagroo’s show was responsible for sending this product into fame status.
In 1960, accessories started appearing with the product. Then eventually in the 1990s, it was bought by Hasbro. Read an in-depth history here
However, over the years, this product has had many spins on the ingredients to create it and many households started making their own. However, some of us such as myself are not very skilled at making it at home. In fact, I’m known for burning water. So we need to go buy a product for our children.
That’s where Love Play Create comes in as an awesome child-friendly product
Every bit of product down to the added accessories are earth-friendly!

Trying the Product for Ourselves-
A white rectangular box arrived in the mail with her sticker on it. When I opened the product, there were three adorable glass jars. We ordered the Fairy Garden Kit. Two of the jars contained earthen colors in brown and green. The third jar had the cutest wooden person that reminded me of the eco-friendly version of the original little people. Then there were some paper cut-outs of flowers, grass and fairy wings. Mixed in were some small rocks. Absolutely the cutest product I have seen in a while.
Playing with the Product-
We took a blanket outside. My dog loves playing dress-up, so she was the fairy. Abby and I sat for awhile creating different fairy gardens with the various items. I also noticed a handwritten note, from the owner. My daughter eagerly asked me to read it to her. Such a nice touch. After done playing, we put everything back in the glass jars for another day.
Take-away
We would definitely recommend this product to others. The best is everything down to the packaging is good for the environment. We also love supporting local businesses!
