During World War II, James Wright working for the General Electric laboratories had produced a synthetic, pliable rubber that was cheap and useful for a lot of small jobs as a caulking and molding medium. With the war over, a large supply existed, and no one seemed to have any idea what to do with it. Mr. Hodgson came up with one. He bought a large amount, put it into plastic eggs, and sold it to children under the name Silly Putty. Kids could use it to make spiders and snakes, ware it on their faces at Halloween, and even lift comic-strip pictures right off the pages of the Sunday funnies

During WWII, the U.S. was looking for a rubber substitute, this was how silly putty originated. It was purely accidental. It was introduced in1950 as a toy item manufactured by the Binney & Smith Co.

WWII. Some dude was trying to formulate synthetic rubber. Silly Putty was one of the failed attempts. He took it home and his kids loved to play with it, so the guy started marketing it as a toy.

It was actually a mistake. The dude was trying to make glue but messed up. He thought it was pretty cool and sold it.

I have no idea. I'm assuming it was accident and someone got lucky and fell into a great idea!
