    The Yo-Yo

    ------------------

    One of the oldest known toys, it is likely that the yo-yo was created independently in several different areas. Stone yo-yos more than three thousand years old have been found in Greece and evidence indicates that yo-yos may also have been present in ancient Chinese culture. In the 1700s, the yo-yo or jou-jou, as it was called, provided entertainment for the French royal court.
