About this journal
Every kid who gets a yo-yo does the same thing. They throw it down about forty times, tangle the string, and by Friday it's in a drawer with the fidget spinner.
My Yo-Yo Journal is what keeps it out of the drawer. It's a kids' yo-yo journal they fill in themselves, with short pages, plain words, and tricks broken into steps they can follow without a grown-up hovering. They read one trick page, try it lots, write down what happened, and think about what worked.
The best part is the tracker. It counts tries as well as landings, so a kid can see for themselves that thirty misses before one clean Walk the Dog is just what learning looks like. That lesson works on a lot more than yo-yos.
There's also a page most kids never get: how to pick the right yo-yo. A responsive yo-yo, a string cut to belly-button height, and a loose finger loop make everything easier, and the book explains why. Simple safety notes, like checking for frayed string and looking around before a big swing, come built in.
Then come three badges to earn. The Sleeper Badge is a straight throw, a long spin, and a clean catch. The Trick Badge covers Walk the Dog, Around the World, Rock the Baby, and more. The Master Badge is string tricks, their own routine, and performing for people.
What's inside
- 12 practice logs — what they tried and how it went
- 12 trick trackers — tries and landings, so progress is easy to see
- 9 trick ladder pages — climbing from easy tricks to showstoppers
- 6 "Notes From Somebody Who Knows" pages — tips from a friend, cousin, or coach
- 15 skill pages across three badges, each with a badge check
- A yo-yo buying guide, goal pages, a glossary, and a milestone wins page
It's for kids, roughly ages 7 to 13, who just got a yo-yo, and for parents looking for a screen-free hobby that sticks. Pair it with a yo-yo for a birthday, a pasalubong from the mall, or a Christmas gift from a ninong who wants to be the cool one.
A yo-yo fits in a pocket. So does a little patience, once they've practiced it.
