In this episode of the I Can’t Sleep Podcast, drift off while learning about Play-Doh, Silly Putty, and Slinkies. Did you know Play-Doh was originally invented to clean coal residue from wallpaper? It’s fascinating how these products often start as solutions for adult problems, only to later become beloved children’s toys. What sparked these transformations? Learning about it is just plain fun! I hope you discover some interesting tidbits before falling asleep to the story of these iconic toys. Happy sleeping!
