Kids Paddle-slight thread drift
I have the Bending Branches Minnow for my girls, ages 7 and 9 and they like it quite a bit. I have always liked BB’s price point on wooden paddles and I’ve never had a problem with their quality. Again, we have the Minnow:

grey owl also makes a wooden child’s paddle:

Both were available for under $70 when I was looking for them this past spring.
Yes, we tried those out
I really liked both paddles. Josh picked the Sprite. They all seemed adequate to me.
res maybe too low:
This one is a friend of mine’s daughter. I paddled stern, her mom was in the bow, and she held down the center… not exactly paddling, but a day on the water sure can wear you out:

That’s one of my favorites. We stopped for lunch on a sandbar to get this shot.
