Historical Background: 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.
