Wooden Yo-Yo

Available to buy individually or select as part of a Custom Curiosity Box.

A traditional wooden yo-yo with a smooth, rounded shape and attached string. It can be held, turned, rolled or used as a yo-yo, while winding and unwinding the string offers another familiar movement to explore. Its recognisable design may also prompt conversation or memories. Available in assorted colours, with one selected at random.

Size: approximately 4.8 × 2.7 cm
