On this website, we will take you back in time to learn about the wonderful and exciting history of one of America’s most important toys, the Yo-yo. Please, stay awhile, and hopefully, by the time you leave, you will see this simple plastic toy just a little bit differently.
Why We Picked the Yo-yo
The yo-yo, as we’re sure everyone knows, is one of the most popular children’s toys in American history, a simple device made out of either wood or plastic and some string that can provide countless hours of fun and entertainment to anyone. The reason we chose to delve into the history of this device is due to the fact that despite everyone knowing what a yo-yo is, very few people know even the simplest facts of the toy, and we decided it would be quite interesting to share these facts and history with our fellow students.
