The yo-yo dates back to ancient Greece and was used in England, France, and other European countries. It was also known as a "Bandelure" or winding toy and, in England, a "Prince of Wales" toy. Today, most yo-yos are made from either wood or plastic, but they have also been made from gold, silver, and animal horn. Our classic Yo Yo is made of hardwood and its diameter is 5.5cm. Each Yo Yo is shrink wrapped.
