PAWTUCKET, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Hasbro,

PLAY-DOH Touch SHAPE TO LIFE STUDIO set exclusively at Apple Stores

that brings PLAY-DOH creations to life in an immersive virtual PLAY-DOH
world.
“For the first time ever, fans can truly bring their creations to life
with PLAY-DOH Touch,” said Greg Lombardo, vice president of marketing
for the PLAY-DOH brand. “Since 1956, the PLAY-DOH brand has evolved to
fit the ever-changing wants and needs of our fans from around the world.
As we celebrate our 60th birthday this year, it was important
to seamlessly infuse new technology into the classic, hands-on PLAY-DOH
experience while staying true to our core values of inspiring creativity
and imagination.”
Kids can amplify classic PLAY-DOH playtime by sculpting their own
creations and creating unique, magical worlds with the PLAY-DOH Touch
SHAPE TO LIFE STUDIO set, which includes character stampers, action
stampers, cutters, tools, PLAY-DOH compound, and a SHAPE TO LIFE STUDIO
set. Here’s how to bring sculpts to life with the PLAY-DOH Touch app on
iPhone and iPad:

PLAY-DOH creation. -
Scan: Bring your creation to life by scanning it into the
PLAY-DOH Touch app. -
Explore: Interact with your creation, create new friends that
will unlock unique worlds and personalities, and add fun effects to
make your creation dance, spin and float. -
Repeat: Keep shaping and scanning more PLAY-DOH creations to
customize and enhance your world!
PLAY-DOH Touch is the newest innovation in the brand’s ever-evolving
collection; it encourages an intuitive creative flow that seamlessly
loops between shaping physically and exploring digitally.
“The PLAY-DOH Touch app and SHAPE TO LIFE STUDIO set lets us adapt to
today’s evolving play landscape – while still offering that timeless,
hands-on PLAY-DOH fun and even encourages kids to make even more
PLAY-DOH creations,” Lombardo said. “We’re excited to offer our fans a
new, unique way that will enhance their PLAY-DOH play.”
