Rainbow Crafts Company, Inc. or, Rainbow Crafts was a toy manufacturing company created and operated by Noah McVicker and his nephew Joseph McVicker as a subsidiary of the midwestern soap company, Kutol Products. The company manufactured Play-Doh, a modeling compound for children. Rainbow Crafts operated under the McVickers from 1956 until 1965 when it was sold to General Mills with all rights to Play-Doh. In 1971, Rainbow Crafts and Kenner Products (both subsidiaries of General Mills) merged, and, in 1987, Tonka Corporation bought both subsidiaries. Hasbro currently manufactures Play-Doh.
Famous quotes containing the word rainbow:
“The novel is a perfect medium for revealing to us the changing rainbow of our living relationships. The novel can help us to live, as nothing else can: no didactic Scripture, anyhow. If the novelist keeps his thumb out of the pan.”
