The Yo-Yo

The yo-yo is one of the oldest known toys.  The first yo-yos were made of stone. They were used more than 3000 years ago.

Then came wooden yo-yos and finally plastic ones. A man called Donald Duncan made the yo-yo popular in 1928.  He sent men around the USA to show amazing yo-yo tricks.  Tricks like:-

Walking the dog
Around the world

Today people still play with the yo-yo.  They have even been played with in outer space.
