Best Answer

Approximately 2500 years ago. It is considered the second oldest toy in history (doll is #1) and was a popular toy in ancient Greece. In the Philippines, where it was much larger and had studded sharp edges and a 20' string, it was used as a weapon. It became popular in Europe during the 1800s.

The exact date is unknown. Many believe that it was invented in China, but our first records of yo yos are from Greece around 500 B.C.
