Osmo - Genius Starter Kit for iPad - 5 Educational Learning Games - Ages 6-10 - Math, Spelling, Creativity & More - STEM Toy Gifts for Kids, Boy & Girl - Ages 6 7 8 9 10 Base Included (5 Games, iPad)

My kid used to play Osmo when she was 3 years old with their little genius starter kit back in the days. I sold them then forgot all about it and now she's 6. I asked her if she remembers playing Osmo in the past, she doesnt but when I ordered the Genius Start Kit that's more suitable for her age, she seems to remember some aspects to it. Upon opening the game, the process to install and add Osmo is pretty easy as long as you have an account with Osmo. They'll send you a code to connect the apps. We then tried 4 out of the 5 of the games they include. Numbers: such a great game for math skills, there's a whole lot of basic math work - adding, subtracting and when it got to multiplying and the numbers got a little higher - we had to stop. Words: You have to fill out the blanks as there are missing letters in a word. It's a fun game for a 6 year old who loves spelling out words. We haven't gone that far into the game but I would imagine it gets harder and she would constantly be challenged. Masterpiece: This game is a tricky one. I won't lie but I was excited about this one because my kid loves drawing and coloring. Unfortunately the tracing part where you trace on the paper with the help of the tracing outline on ipad is SO SO SO weird. It's hard to trace as you're constantly trying to find the lines and you're looking up and down repeatedly to make sure your pencil is on the line and most of the time, it's not so instead of tracing - my kid just memorized and copied the general outline and drew it herself on the paper. I wish this game was better in so many ways. Tangram: This one is a WINNER! My kid had so MUCH fun playing this game, it's almost her favorite. It comes with the tandem pieces in different shapes and colors and you have to put them together to create a figure. The app will help and guide you all the way which is so fun and helpful. It's also a funny game and I catch my kid giggling and laughing most of the time. Newton: We haven't played this one yet! Osmo has become a daily part of our life.

We bought Genius kit after hearing about it since long from kid's school and our friends who has the product. After playing with the product along with my daughter, I would highly recommend it and think it is every penny worth at the price $99.99. Though there are a lot of learning games in the market which allows kids to learn basic mathematics and practice it; I think this one is unique because it never makes them glued to the screen. As far a kid is concerned, it's like they are playing with chips of a board game or using a pen to draw and competing to finish the challenges thrown by the screen. That is so cool! Of all the games, I loved the Numbers game. I can't think about a better way to teach kids addition and subtraction and that too at a mental math level. Osmo team has figured out a way to make the kids relate addition to "bring units together" and subtraction to "separate out units". That's precisely what it is and since the idea is hit at such a basic level, kids are easily able to grasp the concepts. I would highly recommend all parents to play these games along with the kids and gently let them understand that the things they are doing in Numbers game is nothing but the "boring" addition and subtraction they learn at their school. I have seen this really motivating my daughter who has now started using the mental calculation idea back at school while doing the same. In my opinion, this the best way to derive unbelievable value out of this product. You just need to do it a couple of times, your child will take it up from there. Similarly, found the Words game a good way to improve spellings and vocabulary. Osmo has lot more libraries on their My Osmo portal. Make sure you sign up while doing registration and download these libraries.

Got this for my 2nd grader for Christmas. She loves it! It was easier to set up than I expected which is a huge deal when you have an excited kid wanting to play with it. You do need to use your phone in addition to the device your using to play it. It sends codes to your email that you need to enter. I'm not super tech savvy but had it ready to play in under 10 min. I bought it with the hopes of making her tablet time more productive without her realizing it and this accomplished that. Also purchased the pizza game and monster game. The biggest plus was that IT ACTUALLY WORKS. I expected to have to have the game pieces lined up perfectly or for it to struggle to recognize the piece placement, but nope. It immediately identifies the game pieces and creates a corresponding image on her tablet screen. My only suggestion is (especially if you're buying multiple games) since there's a lot of pieces, purchase a storage case. Amazon has cases specifically for it, but make sure you buy the correct one (iPad vs android vs Fire tablet) because the docking piece is different for each one. This is definitely a great gift and since I got it on a deal day for 50% off, I got the additional games and I'm glad I did. I'm hoping it continues to hold her interest because it's a fun learning tool!

Maintains the kids interests when learning something.

ゲームを与えてなくて、コロナ禍に買いました

Es un excelente producto de aprendizaje! Vale la pena mil veces

Great tool for my Grandson. Fun learning activities.

Such a beautiful product. Works well with my ipad and my kids love it. A very efficient design. Will keep your kids busy and my son was giggling all the time when he got the spelling correct. A fun educational toy for sure. One small issue is that, the stand will not be able to hold an ipad with case. So I have to remove the case every time they play with it. It arrived on time as well.
