Learning Resources Primary Science Color Mixing Glasses

Grandaughter aged 2 likes to put them on me mostly.The arms come off a lot

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our grandchildren love the glasses. They love experimenting and this is just another experiment.

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.

In the classroom

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.

This is a very good toy for children to learn about primary and complementary colours. However, practically speaking, the glasses and lens should come in a small storage case to avoid loss or breakage.

A brilliant educational gift I brought for my son' friend who turned 5 recently. I was told he did not put them down for over an hour and since then I have purchased 4 more as presents and one for my son. The glasses are perfect for this age range (4-5) as the children are in reception class learning about mixing colours.

I would buy this for Christmas gifts. I think all kids would love this.

I am a Pre-K teacher who created a Light Studio for my students. They children just love these color changing glasses. They are study and even if they bend the arm of the glasses backwards they don't break. They are learning so much by mixing and matching the colors. This is a great buy for the money.

The second my 4 year old son saw these in the catalog he had to have them! When the box arrived he could not wait to open them. He played with them for almost an hour that day, changing the colors in both lenses, then different colors in each lens. He loves these!

Bought these for my two children, 5 and 3. I know the 3-year-old is too young, but he loves special glasses and I figured he could play with these with supervision. WRONG. These glasses are simply TOO BIG for children's use. I just measured and they are actually WIDER (side to side) than the normal-adult-sized glasses I wear all the time. My regular glasses fit right between the stems of these - with space to spare. They didn't fit the 3-year-old properly, of course, but neither did they fit the 5-year-old - or my 14- and 16-year-old teenagers. They barely fit me. Since nobody can wear them, the only word to describe my experience of this product is disappointing. I was so excited about what I thought would be a neat product, and I paid more than I normally would have since they were a birthday gift. Now I just feel like a sucker. I wish it was possible to leave a zero-star review.
