For nostalgic hungry types, tiny Picassos or mere fascinators of colour and malleability, it's Play-Doh's 50th birthday. The modelling goo celebrates 50 years, and you too can rekindle craft night with your own tub-of-joy for under a fiver.

Travelling a long way post birth (Play-Doh started life as a monochromatic off-white wallpaper cleaner), this aperitif slash play tool will have your intestines churning whilst opening the brain lid to non-toxic experimentation.

Say ‘Happy Birth-Doh', whilst squidging an anti-stress art mess between your fingers.
