About it

A yo-yo is two disks joined by a short axle, with a string tied around the axle. Thrown down, it unwinds and spins fast; the spin keeps it steady, and a little tug on the string makes it wind itself back up into your hand. Children in ancient Greece played with yo-yos of wood, metal and clay.

This one bobs gently on its string. Tap it to throw it: it drops, spinning as the string unwinds, and then climbs back up the string to where it started. Pick its color in the Splash tab. With ✋ Hands-on on, pull the yo-yo down and let go: it drops to the end of the string, spins there and climbs back.
