I second the recommendation for the Werner point.  A week or so ago I took 
my two nieces out (one at a time) for a ride in a tandem kayak.  We gave 
them a Werner point paddle to "help" paddle the tandem.  One of the cool 
little features of the paddle is that it's got a smiley face on each 
blade.  We told them to keep the smiley face looking at them and they sort 
of paddled along with me saying "there's the smiley face...there's the 
smiley face" each time the paddle came out of the water.  The four year old 
tended to leave the paddle in the water too long but the six year was 
actually paddling well enough that I was able to synchronize strokes with 
her from the stern seat in the tandem.
