Look up yo-yo on wikipedia or history of yo-yo on google. I’ll share a quote from wiki to make life easy though :wink: “The earliest surviving yo-yo dates to 500 BCE and was made using terra cotta skin disks/sides. A Greek vase painting from this period shows a boy playing yo-yo (see right). Greek records from the period describe toys made out of wood, metal, or painted terra cotta (fired clay). The terra cotta disks were used to ceremonially offer the toys of youth to certain gods when a child came of age—discs of other materials were used for actual play.” ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/9/2/a92673b23eac198d50108898c09d36851dee95e4.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/5/c/35cd3473158aa0f7d85569258702de0db286752a.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/2/d/62d1e3aeed23f19ec6c6ea580c4b0d69f8958697.jpeg) I also remember reading somewhere that the yo-yo is the second oldest toy in the history of civilization, the doll being first. ---

38, throwing for about 1.5 years now. Question to those around my age. How did y’all get into throwing? For me it was buying a yomega fireball for my 6 year old and discovering what can be done with a yoyo via you tube. After watching a few videos I was hooked. ---
