Many presidents are easily recognized from photographs and well-known paintings, but can you identify these U.S. presidents made from Play-Doh?
I did sculpt these myself, but I’m very new to this particular medium. I've learned that it's very difficult to create sculptures that resemble their real-life counterparts. Hopefully, that just adds to the challenge! :)

I appreciate all of the positive comments!! Just a couple of responses... 1) I have now specified US presidents. 2) Regarding the sculpting time, each one took roughly an hour. The exception was Nixon. The Nixon pictured here was my third attempt, and I still wasn't happy with him. :) Thanks for taking the quiz!
I did not get Jackson. As soon as I saw his name, I could see it does look like him. But he also looks like a cartoon character that would lead a suicide cult involving aliens and a comet.
All of these look pretty good except for Kennedy IMO. Hard to tell who that's supposed to be except through process of elimination knowing that you're looking for a president.
This is really great. I got all of them without needing to guess once, so I'd say they're pretty accurate. John Adams looks like Waldorf, the shorter of the two old Muppets that heckle everybody.
Love these! I guessed Jackson on the first try, but I can see why some people had trouble with that one. Play-doh Jackson looks more likeable than any other depiction of the man I've ever seen. Seeing an almost cuddly version of such a dour person feels kinda dissonant.
Anyone else ever notice that Andy Jackson looks a lot like Beethoven? I never noticed until today but when you look at the google images of the two there are a few that look quite a bit alike.
These sculptures are so good! If I knew more U.S. presidents I probably would have gotten all of them, but like these sculptures are so well done, good job!
No big deal though, a lot (lot lot) better than I could do.
(but I see it now that I know)
great work on all the play-doh presidents!
