Color Paddles, 6 Transparent Colors; 18 Piece Set; no. LER0352 Review

Customer Ratings:

This is a nice set of affordable color paddles that I use in teaching about color. Some of the paddles are not saturated/dark enough though, so you have to hold two or three together to get a really pure color. The company originally sent a set with 6 orange paddles, and no red. They promptly sent me another set that had the right ones for free.

These are a great compliment to any of the color "mixing" books. My son especially loves Mouse Paint. We use the red, yellow and blue paddles to make the colors in the book, just like the mice. He likes to shine a flashlight through the color paddles and project them on a piece of paper, the wall, etc. My daughter, who is younger, likes to put the paddles to her eyes and see a different color. I like that this set has enough paddles to make 3 sets, one for each child and an extra just incase. Each paddle also has a hole in the bottom if you want to put them on a binder ring.

I returned this item since it was very thick not that transparent plastic. But the worth of all it was only blue, red and green colors of total 18 pieces.as you see it didn't include yellow as it was mentioned. The bottom line, it was not able to serve the purpose, to teach my kids how to create new colors of existing one. Do not recommend!

Honest reviews on Color Paddles, 6 Transparent Colors; 18 Piece Set; no. LER0352

There are 18 paddles in the package. Three each of: Purple, blue, green, red, red, and yellow. That wasn't a typo, I got six red and three of everything else. I assume I was supposed to get 3 orange ones instead of the repeat reds. Each paddle has a clear, polished part on the handle and down the center of the head and two different textures on the head.

if you want your child to understand colors. Normally such set contains at least red, green, blue, yellow, cyan and magenta. For example, red+green must be close to black, and yellow+cyan must be green. Additionally there may be shades of grey and polarizers. The dyes are tricky: if the manufacturer got them wrong you may see separate colors but not the expected mixes.

I bought first set here from the seller named Learning resources. They described it as COLOR PADDLES 18-SET 6 TRANSPARENT. In fact I received only 2 identical sets, each of 6 of meaningless and spectrally wrong paddles: there were bad red, bad green, bad blue plus bad yellow, orange and pink. OK, they were too cheap to return. I ordered another set from the seller proudly named American Scientific they looked differently on the picture. They sent me three identical sets, exactly the same as the first ones, and of the same colors.

On their picture they show only 6 paddles out of 18. You can't tell what the rest of them look like.

I can only wonder where did those guys learn their science before they started selling it.
