Perfect learning gift for your kids
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.

Great for stem learning from age 4-8
This set is actually upgraded quite a bit from their original set. It includes these great plastic containers perfect for storage. My daughter really likes the tangrams - they have levels that get more difficult as it goes along. The number game is pretty fun too but perhaps a little too easy for my 9 year old. But when we had the original set at age 5, I had her play with it for 10min everyday and I found she gained more confidence with addition and substraxtion. Plus she never complained playing with it (compared to practicing math in a traditional workbook) I’d high recommend getting this kit starting age 4 or 5. But probably becomes too easy after age 8. If your child is younger, I’d recommend the junior kit!!

A great go-to gift idea for friends and family.
I bought OSMO for my nieces who were visiting for a month of summer and we've all been blown away! There are so many fun games for them to play and I don't feel guilty about giving them screen time. It's engaging, educational, super fun and often I ended up playing with them. I love seeing them get hands on learning and working together! We are buying another Genius Starter kit so they have it at their home as well.

Great gift and purchase! Def worth it!
Numbers is a great game. My 5 year old son loves it. The words game is just beginning to be his favorite and even I enjoy doing the shapes game with him. All in all a great buy. Very educational. And a great gift.

Awesome Buy!
I recently bought this for me 6 year old daughter. The possibilities with this tool are endless. We love the word game. It even allows you to add in your own customized words so you can have your little one study things like their classes weekly spelling words.

Meh - overpriced
I think it’s over priced for what it is. There are so many educational apps out there that don’t cost this much. This one has interactive playing pieces but they’re some plastic or wooden pieces. A plastic base to hold your iPad. And a plastic piece with a mirror that sits on your camera to reflect down. This cost nothing to make. Not worth the cost it’s charging you. So there are 5 games I think. My 5 yr old kid does like them. So that’s good. But if you wanna buy any more games you’ll spend a whole lot more again. Personally we get a lot more out of abc mouse and homer app. We pay a much smaller monthly or annual fee for those. We can take them on the go without any pieces. And those allow al my kids of different ages to play their own level for the same price on one account. So I would suggest those over Osmo. You get much more bang for your buck and it can be used for all ages anywhere you are.

Great way for kids to learn
First heard about Osmo at school, and how the kids enjoyed playing. So I decided to get one for home, and cannot believe I waited this long to get one. Osmo makes the best use of the iPad I have ever seen for kids. Love the Numbers game, and kids are enjoying Words and Masterpiece. Looking at some of the other Osmo games for Christmas. Great experience!

Great learning/teaching tool
Osmo was recommended to me several years ago. I had forgotten about it until my house became “Gram School” while our world was social distancing. Our five year old grandson initially enjoyed the learning tools I had on hand, but I felt there was something else we could be doing to challenge him. I chose the Osmo Genius Starter Kit for IPad for 6-10 year olds after reading a review which indicated the five year old was ready for a more advanced level. Great advice! This kit comes with 5 different Learning Programs. The child is able to advance through the different levels as he/she is ready. My grandson is in Pre-K and we have chosen the Junior level. These math skills and letter sounds are spot on for him. He is learning to add and subtract and identify letter sounds without frustration. I can see him gaining confidence as he chooses the playing pieces to answer the questions. There are a few games guided by special characters which he enjoys. The Tangram offers puzzles at the Junior level and allows him to advance as he is ready. He is not as interested in Masterpiece a drawing program and is just learning the concept of Newton which is described as creative engineering with virtual balls and creating paths for them with shapes and everyday tools. There is a program for the phone for the parent to monitor progress and time spent on activities. As this is for a young child, I sit with him and supervise. I haven’t seen any clear cut directions for playing some of these games, although my grandson picked right up on it. I would prefer that I could lock the game from advancing until the child is ready for the next level. This was a bit problematic, and then he learned for himself that he was not ready for the next level. I would recommend this for any family. Although the initial cost is a bit pricey, if he uses this as a learning tool the next five years, it is money well spent. This package comes with the base for the tablet and five games. Other games can be purchased and used on this same base.
