“Whatever Happened to the Yoyo?”

Walk the Dog, Rock the Baby, Around the World – where are they now?

Discover how the fad of 1970s and 1990’s school children has moved underground and evolved. Today yoyo is thriving and reconnecting people in ways never before imagined.

Hear voices from the Yoyoer community talk of the joy they find in this simple toy. How meditation, friendship, competition, creativity, and art come together. How yoyo has been a life-saver and mental heath tool for many.

“Yoyoing is learning. It is socialization. It is private or performance. It is everything that you can put your power personality behind. It is raw, polite, rude, and an outlet for that personality. Yoyo is for everyone.”
-Chris Allen

The Duck: How to Make Them Pay

Once the Facebook BST&Talk community decided that our community designed yoyo should be called “The Ducc” it was no surprise that I became a magnet for duck memes. When a link to a book on Amazon hit my inbox pointing out the epic review, I had to write a response. The book “Ducks and How to Make Them Pay” by William Cook is a guide to raising and selling ducks. The one review at the time simply stated “Not the duck specific revenge manual I was hoping for". Of course I couldn’t let that stand, so I wrote the duck specific revenge manual you all need.

Coloring books!

Last year I got this great idea to put together a yoyo activity book! I discovered I enjoyed making the coloring pages the best, so I’ve been publishing coloring books!

Let’s Talk Poo Coloring book

The Yoyo and Skill Toy Coloring Book

Images range from basic outlines for the younger folks to detailed pages that will keep you busy for hours!

Exactly what the title says - 35 cleverly illustrated euphemisms for poop! I teach grade 2/3, so I figured I needed to make a coloring book for my class!
