The future according to kids – and play doh – is an adorable ad campaign that asks kids to imagine what they think the future would be like. Via Mental Floss:
Play-Doh, the wallpaper cleaning material-turned-sculpting compound, turns 60 today. To celebrate, the brand asked parents from around the world to share their kids’ predictions for what the future holds via social media. Some kids predicted dinosaurs would make a comeback; others thought we’d take a rocket to Mars; and still others thought the future would be rife with robots. The brand’s official sculptor then brought those visions to life using nothing but Play-Doh, a process which took more than 40 hours to complete and required 200-plus cans of the compound. You can see the sculpts—and timelapse video of them being created—exclusively below, then share your own predictions for the future on social media using #PLAYDOH60 and #WORLDPLAYDOHDAY.
About the video above:
With the discovery of new Goldilocks planets—so named because they’re “just right” for hosting life—happening all the time, this prediction seems likely to become a reality. As for what our future alien besties might look like, scientists have a few theories of their own (green tentacled monster sadly isn’t one of them).
