Secondary Colour Tablets

Description

Building on the foundation laid by the Primary Colour Tablets, this set introduces children to the richer world of colour created through mixing. Eleven pairs of tablets, in red, yellow, blue, green, orange, purple, brown, pink, grey, white, and black, invite the child to match each tablet to its twin, training the eye to notice fine distinctions in hue long before colour theory is ever explained in words.

The exercise is simple in form but rich in outcome: as the child pairs colour to colour, visual discrimination sharpens, an intuitive sense of how colours relate and combine begins to form, and a foundation is laid for later artistic expression and elementary science work on light and pigment. It is a quiet, self-directed activity that rewards careful looking, and one that consistently draws children back for the satisfaction of a perfect match.
