Summary
A plastic yoyo (circa 2007), made from bright lemon yellow plastic which has clear 'windows' in each side, housing ball puzzles. Each consists of a colour-printed paper image with tiny holes cut out, into which tiny metal balls can be rolled. On one side is an image of a juggling clown (including four balls but only three holes) and on the other is an image of two motorcycle racers (including three balls and three holes). The string is white and has a loop tied at the end.
Provenance
Purchased for the Museum of Childhood by Mrs Sue J. Fraser (Collections Assistant) in August 2007.
