Y is for Yo-Yo (A-Z Challenge)
I bet we've all had a toy Yo-Yo as a child and it seems like such a modern thing to have. But did you know that Yo-Yo's go back a very long way? This picture is of a Greek vase from around 500 BC. It is thought that it shows a boy playing with a Yo-Yo made of terracotta. Other toys were made of wood or metal in those days and some terracotta disks were used for ceremonial reasons. It's amazing what you learn doing the A-Z Challenge! Tomorrow is the final day. Looking forward to Z.

Whaaaaaaa? Are they sure that is a Yo-Yo? I definitely always thought that it was way way way more modernized than that.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they could pull off any of the tricks we have now!
I, on the other hand, suck really bad with Yo-Yos
