The screen-free learning podcast for young visionaries, dreamers and faith-first families. Hi, magnificent friends. I hope you'll have an excellent day. I'm your positive, tell-the-date coach, that's Destiny. You build your dreams after listening to our last episode because today we got an important lesson that you're not going to want to miss. It's about turning mistakes into blessings. Correct. And today's episode is about a toy you've squished, shaped, smelled and molded before. Ooh, it's colorful, squishy and ooh, so fun and creative. Ooh, and guess what friends? It's time. We just, I mean, it's story time. Sure is, Destiny and our amazing friends. Start up the time machine, Destiny. It's time to reel on the clock. Okay, but I do not want to leave my friends out. All right, friends, huddle in, grab your favorite snack. Ooh, I want popcorn with raw butter. Because we're about to go on a ride. Three, two, one, bleh. Once upon a time, way before the toy we play with now was even a toy. Do you know what I'm talking about? I'm going to take a really wild guess. Play-doh. Destiny, did you cheat and look at the sheet? Maybe. Okay, fine. Thank you for being honest and telling the truth. Yes, friends, we should always tell the truth, even when it's hard. So friends, do you know what Play-doh was used for before it was actually a toy? Hmm, maybe to plug holes or fix leaks? Good try. It was actually used to clean wallpaper. That's what it was invented for. Paul and me, what did you just say? You mean people used it to scrub their walls? Correct. Back in the 1930s, a man named Noah McVicker worked at a company called Kudo Products K-U-T-O-L in Cincinnati, Ohio. He created a soft-dolite cleaner to remove soot from the walls. This is back when people boned coal for heat. That's right, Daniel Bowen. People stopped using coal and switched to a cleaner. Gats eating. No one needed the cleaner anymore. Exactly. Sales were dropping fast and the company was about to close. Oh no, and that's when something amazing happened. Remember when we talked about mistakes turning into lessons, Daniel? I do. That's when the miracle happened. Noah's nephew, Joseph McVicker joined the family business and listened to a teacher named Kay Zufo. Kay told Joseph she was using the leftover wallpaper cleaner in her classroom, but not for the walls, for art projects. That's right, they loved it. They wore it, shaped it, and made little scots. That's right, it was so fun to play with. And when Joseph asked what they called it, Kay and her husband came up with a new name. Let me guess, was it Play-Doh? That's right, you got it. And it's not the philosopher we just talked about. That's right, that one simple idea turned the failing cleaner into a colorful creation, loved by millions. And we still play with it today. Soon they softened the formula and added bright colors and made it smell sweet instead of soapy. That's right, teachers started all arena everywhere. And by 1956, the McVickers Lansden brand new company, they called it Rainbow Crafts. That little spark of creativity didn't just save a company, it built a toy empire. Sometimes something that looks like failure is actually God setting the stage for something greater. That's right, Romans 828 said, God works all things together. Good for those who love him. And that is so important. Noah and Joseph could have given up, but instead they prayed, listened, and looked at how God could use the problem for purpose. They turned a dying business into the one of the most popular toys in the world. That's right, it shows that when you bring your family, your faith, and your imagination together, God can mold miracles out of mistakes. Imagine if he didn't involve his son in the business and his son didn't have that conversation with that teacher. Now listen, when Play-Doh first hit stores, it came in 1.5 pound cans of just three colors, red, blue, and yellow. Teachers were their first customers. Because the dough was safe, non-toxic and never dried out, then came their big break. Are you ready for it? Yes! Play-Doh was featured on a TV show called Captain Kangaroo nearly every day. After that, stores couldn't keep it on the shelves. Play-Doh was selling millions of cans every year in over 20 countries. Isn't that amazing? They even invented the Fun Factory Press, which could squeeze the dough into stars, spaghetti, and silly shapes. The success came from kindness, listening, and believing that kids' ideas matter. Because it all started with the teacher, who saw potential while others saw waste. And that's where the blessing came from. Daniel, that was an amazing story. Did you like it, friends? Oh, I did a lot. Some kids cheering. So, friends, what lesson did we learn from the Play-Doh story today? I'm concerned of first lesson. We learned that even when something doesn't work out the way we planned, God might be sleeping in something even better. Yes, the McGviggers could have seen failure, but instead they stayed open, listened to a teacher, and turned a cleaning product into joy for millions of kids. And that's a reminder about sometimes the biggest blessings come from the biggest mess ups. God can take what looks broken and make it beautiful again, even more beautiful. So when something doesn't go your way, don't get upset. Get creative. Pray, listen, and look for what God might be molding into your life. Because leaders don't just build businesses. They build faith, imagination, and courage. You said it so good, little sister. And that's how you turn mistakes into miracles. Okay, friends, are you ready? Guess what time it is, because we're shaking this up here. It's time for the legacy lightning fun facts round. Da-na-na-na-n, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. Da-na-na-n. Alright friends, are you ready for the question? Okay friends, what three colors did the 1.5 pound cans come in when Play-Doh first hit stores? Is it A, red, white, and blue? Is it B, red, blue, and yellow? Or could it be C, purple, pink, and green? Or could it be D? Rainbow, sparkly pink, and sparkly purple.

I made a pink, tiny little unicorn, poobland, pink, or my favorite colors. What are your favorite colors, friends? Hey guys, I want to share some fun facts with you that I think you'll appreciate. Number one, more than three billion cans of Play-Doh have been sold around the world. Wow, that's enough to suck on a three times. Here's fun fact number two. Play-Doh was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 1998 for inspiring creativity for over 60 years. Fun fact number three. Play-Doh once made a record-breaking 1,164 pound sculpture and it was all squishy. That's what we used to call Play-Doh when we were babies. Squishy. Destiny, what are you talking about? We still call it squishy. Okay, okay. Now that's legacy. I want to show the legacy challenge of the week with you. It's so exciting. Challenge accepted. Think of something that didn't go your way recently. Maybe your idea flopped or turned something out messy. Now ask yourself, what if it's not a failure? What if God's resaping it into something new? Write down one idea or product you could mold into something better this week. Feel free to dry it or mold it out of Play-Doh. Then share with your family. Then tag us with our kids legacy. We can't wait to see it because we are leaders don't quit. They get creative. I just love how the Play-Doh story reminds us that children's creativity often reveals solutions adults can't see yet. Children encourage yourself to see failures as the first draft of success and to pray for wisdom when plans don't go as expected.
