Frequently Asked Questions
+
What's in the set?
Six transparent colour paddles: blue, yellow, magenta, green, orange, and teal. Each has a handle and a hole at the end. No batteries, no light, and no paper boat — the boat in the photos is only there for the picture.
+
Do they light up?
No. The name means they light up a colour when you hold them to a light. A window, a flashlight, or a light table does the work. Nothing to charge and nothing to switch on.
+
What age are they for?
The paddles are one solid piece, so there are no small parts in the set. They suit a child who can hold a paddle up to a window and will not mouth plastic. Supervision is still the right call, especially with younger children.
