== History == FIMO was first a plastic modeling compound brought to the attention of German dollmaker [[Käthe Kruse]] in 1939 as a possible replacement for plastic compounds. It was not suitable for her doll factory use, and she turned it over to her daughter Sophie Rehbinder-Kruse,<ref>[http://www.fimo.com/FIMO_history.Staedtler?ActiveID=136842 STAEDTLER® FIMO® - The history] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120323180618/http://www.fimo.com/FIMO_history.Staedtler?ActiveID=136842 |date=2012-03-23 }} Retrieved 2011-05-10</ref> who was known in the family as "Fifi" (hence ''FIMO'', from ''Fifi's Modeling Compound''). The brand was later sold to [[Eberhard Faber]] and is marketed under the name "FIMO".
