Learning Resources Primary Science Color Mixing Glasses: Preschool Science Kit with Protective Eyewear

Easy, innovative way to learn how to mix new colors with no mess. Fun with the glasses as it allows for a little extra variety and fun between the two lenses. Negative is difficult to keep all the pcs

There seems to be a problem with the mould upon manufacture with one of the arms. One of the small bobble which fits into the side of the glasses (the hinge part) was not formed properly on all 4 pairs I bought. I could get it to work by cutting with a knife so that it formed a rounded blob and not what looked like a squashed piece of flat plastic. They would have been 5 stars if there was not this issue with one of the arms but as all 4 had them I am guessing there was a problematic batch made.

My students love using these glasses in their science center. The only thing I don't like is the stem on one set of glasses keeps breaking apart and I have to reattach it.

Fun and educational way to learn colour mixing and viewing the world through colours. Great.

I loved the idea of this and how it teaches primary colors. The only downside is they fall right off the kids faces. They can't put them on and walk around to explore or the glasses fall right off. All of our lenses are scratched up from dropping.

I received these glasses the first week of January 2014, and by the following week the glasses arms were bent the opposite way. I feel these are not sturdy enough to endure a class of 4 year olds. The kids still like to put them on, but the glasses will not stay on.

Great gift.

This would be a great stocking stuffer if removed from the enormous packaging it came in or if it came with a carrying case. My 3 year old loves them but knew the color combinations, etc. within about 15 minutes so I'm not sure this would really be loved by most children of age 5 or older. The glasses do come apart if your child is destructive like mine is (the ways the pieces of the blue section of the glasses are put together is a little flimsy), but they are easy to reassemble.
