*Hasbro Inc.'s Play-Doh logo is seen on an item for sale at a Target store in 2011.*

Some of the [Play-Doh](http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2049243_2048654_2049125,00.html) children play with could be [made in America](https://www.wsj.com/articles/hasbro-to-make-play-doh-american-again-1488031202) as early as next year, Hasbro announced.

The toy company that churns out [Play-Doh](https://time.com/4583532/play-dohs-new-app-lets-kids-3d-scan-their-creations/) from overseas factories will start making the putty-like plaything at a facility in East Longmeadow, Mass. sometime in the second half of 2018. U.S. factories haven't produced any Play-Doh since 2004, the [*Wall Street* *Journal*](https://www.wsj.com/articles/hasbro-to-make-play-doh-american-again-1488031202) reports.

Hasbro said the decision was not in response to President Trump's [election](https://time.com/4641547/inauguration-2017-donald-trump-america-first/) or his [emphasis](https://time.com/4588349/donald-trump-carrier-jobs-speech/) on companies bolstering their manufacturing on U.S. soil. Instead, the company said the increased production was in response to increasing sales over the past five years, according to the *WSJ*.

"We’re not replacing volume, we’re adding volume,” Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner told the *WSJ*.

Hasbro will continue making Play-Doh for international sales in locations such as Turkey or China, and will also continue importing some Play-Doh into the U.S., the *WSJ* reports.
