The origins of the Yo-Yo, one of the oldest toys known to humanity, seen on the side of Greek vases 500 BC
And yet yo-yo was the first toy ever to reach outer space…
After the doll, the yo-yo is considered to be the second oldest toy in history
The origin of the yo-yo is still a source of debate, but the first historical mention of it comes from Greece in the year 500 BC. Some historians believe that the yo-yo likely originated in China because of a similar toy called a diabolo, which had almost the same design.
