Bet you didn't know this!

Most of you probably have seen yo-yos before, some of you might even have one! But I bet you didn't know the origins of the yo-yo. An ancient Greek vase reveals a man playing with a yo-yo-like device. The device was most likely made with wood, terracotta, metal, or clay. There are two theories about this toy.
