The Internet is filled with top lists at the end of the year, but none are quite like the Play-Doh 2013 Top Ten. The toy clay was used to create ten of the biggest moments of the past year, including the Red Sox winning the World Series and the birth of the royal baby. If the most impressive thing you ever made with Play-Doh was a hot dog, prepare to feel envious.
In addition to sports and pop culture moments, the Play-Doh 2013 Top Ten also features business news (the Twitter IPO) and viral videos (what did the fox say?). Some of the Play-Doh scenes are delightfully simplistic and others are filled with detail. The royal baby recreation is especially detailed and almost looks as if it were painted as opposed to created with Play-Doh.
