Description
This wooden yo-yo from the Prehistoric Land range pairs a classic toy with a striking prehistoric print. It is made of pale natural wood, with two rounded halves and a deep groove between them where a white string is wound, finished in a loop for your finger. One face carries a vintage-style illustration of a prehistoric animal on a coloured ground, labelled with its name: a Velociraptor on green, an Ankylosaurus on blue, a Dimetrodon on yellow or a Tyrannosaurus on lilac. We send one design, chosen at random, so we cannot promise which creature will arrive. It measures 5.5cm across and 3cm deep, a comfortable size to hold in the palm.
Made for play, it rewards a little practice: a flick of the wrist sends it spinning down the string and, with good timing, back up again. Small enough for a pocket, a bag or a desk drawer, it is ready for a few minutes of fun on a long journey, in the garden or at the kitchen table. The illustrations have the look of an old natural history book, and the printed names turn every throw into a small lesson in prehistoric life. When it is not in use, its plain wood and muted colours sit happily on a bookshelf or a desk.
The rim shows its natural pale wood, with the grain visible against the coloured print, and the whole yo-yo weighs just 0.049KG, so it sits lightly in the hand. As with any wooden piece, keep it dry and wipe it with a soft dry cloth if it gets grubby. Untangle the string gently if it twists, rather than pulling it tight. Small and simple, it tucks neatly into a gift bag and makes a cheerful little extra alongside a bigger present.
