Show Notes

In 1930, the Kutol company came up with a putty to clean coal dust off of walls. Impending bankruptcy forced them to shift gears to find news ways of making a profit. A new company was formed and Play-Doh was born.

Show Notes:

Trace's Mom's Most Excellent Play dough recipe:

2 cups flour

2 Tablespoons neutral oil
3 teaspoons cream of tartar

Add everything to a saucepan and stir while cooking over medium low heat until it forms a ball. When the dough comes together, knead when it is cool enough to touch to smooth.
