It is said yo-yo's were origionally invented as a weapon. But as far as I can tell they were Invented to be a child's toy. Don't take my word for it :) I'm still curious too.
why are you asking
The yo-yo is the second-oldest toy in history, after the 'doll', at least 2500 years old.
Antient Greeks made them of wood, metal and terra-cotta, and hunters in the Philippines have used them for small game for over 400 years. The word 'yo-yo' is Tagalog for 'come, come'
initially they were used as weapons then evolved into toys.
Yo-yo's origins can't be traced. Experts are still arguing about where it first came from. So if we don't know the origins, we don't know the inventor.
Yo-yos were originally used as weapons in the Phillipines.
