It was a great gift for my grandchildren. They are 5 yrs old & to will be perfect to accelerate their learning.
We bought this for our 7 year old. She loves it…along with her 17 year old brother! The puzzles on the higher level are great for older kids as well.
I really can’t say anything negative about this thing. I felt like such a geezer when I saw my kid using it for the first time- just impressed by it all. The shapes, the numbers, the spelling… He loves every category.
Once you get past setup and logging in, it’s lots of fun for the kiddos. It’s a great investment, because you can always add on with more games.
This is a great tool for my son to use to practice his problem-solving skills, logic, letters, and numbers. Osmo really brings a new dimension to learning.
Such a GREAT product!! My kids absolutely love the games they get to play and I love that I can keep track of how they are doing right from my phone!! Would reccomend to EVERYONE!
Great! My daughter loves it! Great learning tool and fun!
My daughter loves her Osmo set I just wish it also included the mat.
My 5 year old LOVES this. It’s perfect for the child who needs help with learning or for the child who is bored in school and needs to be challenged. When you purchase, the parents are promoted to download the parents app and you will get daily updates on progress.
Getting the app on the fire tablet in kids mode was a little challenging since it seems it’s a different app for each game but once playing the kids love.
Worth every penny. The start off was hard to download apps but once I got it going, it was super easy. I just downloaded the individual apps for it to work. Download the actual Osmo app and then individually download the apps and games you purchased. That way it’s all connected and works perfectly fine. Great way to challenge the kids to think and analyze. Love it!
My 7 year old actually loves the games and asks to play all the time.
My daughter (first grade) loves her Osmo system but in my opinion it’s a bit expensive, when there are some free educational apps out there. I’m interested to see how intuitive it is as her vocabulary expands. Also with the tangram game its FOREVER asking her to move the entire puzzle up or down into the viewing space no matter if she has the base up or down. Not sure what we are doing wrong.
My 7 year old requested this after playing with it at school. My 5 year old said he didn’t want to play a learning game. Then he got sucked it and loved it. Fun doesn’t feel like learning
I love this! My son likes playing with it and doesn’t know he is learning. It is a great way to incorporate more tangible things with a tablet game. My son likes to physically touch the shapes and then see it confirmed that he made it (an owl, for example) correctly on the screen and “fly away.” There are buttons along the way that ask if the task was too hard/easy to tailor to the child’s ability, so child may grow with the game.
The parent app is wonderful in that I can track his progress with the updates.
So far my daughter loves this! Doesn’t realize she learning!
Our 7 year old son absolutely loves it couldn’t have been more perfec
Our granddaughter said this was the best birthday gift ever. She’s 7 and lives it and the additional packs we bought.
Nice gift for our 5 soon to be 6 year old. He’s engaged with it for decent chunks of time. The app isn’t intuitive for him so I have to get him started on it. One other drawback is that I have to use my profile and not his because it didn’t show up in his Amazon free time but that could be because of the settings I have for him.
Great gift for my 6 year old and pretty easy to use. But I would recommend getting a storage type box/travel case for it because their are a lot of small pieces
Great gift this holiday season for my 8year old .. can’t wait to see how it will help his spelling
My 5 year old was able to play with the Osmo kits at our public library (even though they recommend it for older kids) and LOVED the few games she tried out. I bought her the Genius kit to start off with. The numbers and tangram games are her favorites. I think she will love the words game more once she gets the hang of it. The masterpiece game is just not for us. The Newton game was fun but we are still learning. Over all we love the Osmo and look forward to adding more games to our collection.
Some basic info if you buy the Osmo Genius kit, it comes with *almost* everything you need to play the 5 apps that are part of the genius kit. Numbers, Words and Tangrams come with pieces which are included in the kit. Newton really requires a white board – dry erase board and pen. You can use paper but it’s easier with a dry erase board. We ended up using a white plastic lid in place of a dry erase board. Masterpiece you use paper I believe, you could probably use a dry erase board but since you are drawing paper and pencil or pen work better. Yes, you do have to download all 5 apps.
Bought for my son. They use it in his classroom and I wanted something educational for home too. Sure happy with the time spent in a positive way on a device
My daughter is having a great time playing with her Osmo. Makes learning fun. Works great with her kindle.
My son (7) has not stopped playing with his Osmo since he got it. He received it as a Christmas gift from Santa to use with his Kindle. Aside from the small hiccup with our puppy trying to steal a number, he has been having the best time. His favorite game is Tangrams. All of the games are challenging and fun. Definitely a win in our books! I noticed when registering our Osmo that there are other games available that use the same tools that come in the Genius kit. This is an awesome addition and will be looking into purchasing others.
I got this for my 7 year old grandson and he loves it!
It is so much fun for the kid to play and learn. I enjoy watching my child play it. The excitment is cute and they advance well. I already ordered add ons, as my child really likes playing the Osmo.
We gave this to our 6 yo daughter as Christmas present and she loves it (and so do I!). She has been working on her spelling and math skills by playing and having fun with Numbers and Words games. She loved drawing with Masterpiece, putting puzzles together with Tangram and finding the way to bounce correctly the little dots in Newton. On top of that, we brought Awbie too, and we’ve been having a blast playing this coding game. Great product so far!
I found this to be quite an interesting product, simple to set up (just download the various apps, setting up a user account just requires an email address):
– comes with a stand and a mirror that attaches itself over the Kindle camera
– has 3 “sets” of accessories – one for numbers, one for shapes and one for word applications
– the games are very child friendly and I did think it was quite clever the software interacted with the user, using the tablet screen effectively but also ensuring the child focused more on the activity itself than pressing buttons on a screen
– there is a parent app as well that can be used for monitoring progress – it’s a bit basic but does provide an insight into usage and progress.
Key downsides?
– you can’t use your Kindle in it’s case so you’ll have to remove it – this effectively rules out anyone using Kindles with cases that aren’t removable
– although a couple of applications are free, there are (of course) ones that you need to pay for… which I think is a little cheeky, given the cost of this product.
But overall it will keep young minds occupied (in my mind good for 3-7 year olds although I haven’t explored all of the apps as yet).
My kids have been having so much fun with this item. It went on sale before christmas (30% off) which made an already good price even better. We got the amazon fire one for our kids. We also got one with the ipad base for grandma. They are both great and work well.
My kids ages are 6 and 10.
My 5-year-old son loves his Osmo! And as a teacher, I love all of the different learning opportunities it provides.
Bothe of my children loved this from the moment they receives it. Entertaining and learning. Will be looking to add to this also!
This is the coolest toy. My daughter has spent hours playing. I don’t mind the screen time because the high quality learning that’s happening. She is using her hands spelling words, solving puzzles and math problems. Super fun and keeps kids attention.
This is mix reality at its best. My daugther is 8 and she specially loves the Tangram and Masterpiece apps. After she finishes a drawing you get a picture of it and a short video of her drawing process so you can show off with your family and Friends. Also, you can use the Parent App to keep track of her progress.
My son loves this! So much different things to do. Great purchase.
Took 15 minutes to set up once we found the 3 minute YouTube video. Ease of use.. The kids were off like a shot and having fun only been open 30 minutes and they say best present every.. They are playing the numbers game. I am so glad they made those for the fire tablets
It’s so much fun you forget you’re learning and the kids absolutely love it!!
I use my Osmo in my classroom of 1st and 2nd graders. I love it and my students love it as well. I will definitely be getting 1-2 more for my classroom. Most students find it easy to navigate but it easy a little tricky for little ones to switch profiles.
I am using this in my kindergarten classroom. I love that I was able set up an “account” for each student individual learning. I also get weekly report of usage time for everyone that has played on the osmo.
This Osmo Genius Kit includes:
-osmo base for for Fire Tablets
-Stackable storage
-40 number tiles
-7 tangram pieces
-52 letter tiles
You can choose to play:
-WORDS- helps with spelling and learning letters
-TANGRAM-improves imagination, will teach your little how to build challenging shapes
-MASTERPIECE-so far my fav one. Develops drawing skills, super fun
-NUMBERS-that one really helps with mathematic skills
-NEWTON-games which are involving creative engineering (I presume this is more suitable for older children)
I also recommend to download super studio incredibles, super studio princess or super studio mickey and friends
All games can be found at osmo web (you will have to create an account, takes no longer than 5-7min)
Shame that each app has to be downloaded separately- I would rather have one app which contains all games in one place however, downloading is quick, easy and not a big problem at all.
I consider this toy as a very cleaver, educational, I love the fact that using a technology you can easily get your child to play and learn in the same time. I often see other kids just wasting their time with phones, tablets watching something without much thinking and I guess osmo is a brilliant solution to get your kid to play & work a bit, develop their skills in same time.
Costly? Definitely yes but worth every penny.
Product has a great quality, very sturdy, colours are nice, suitable for kids age 5+
(As contains small elements please be careful if any smaller kids are around)
I would honestly recommend this osmo kit to every parent!
This interactive kit is easy to set up and use, it’s a fair mix between today’s technology and using actual physical objects rather than just starring at a screen. It’s perfect for kids who are on their ipad alot and could do with coming back to the real world, or for kids who don’t have a clue about today’s tech and could do with a little introduction.
I can’t begin to explain how amazing this is! Everything seems to be done on tablets and phones these days, so why not start learning and doing something good and educational. This is brilliant, and much better than I expected. My child found this easy to use, following the instructions and physically doing the things and learning at the same time. It’s like a game to them, while secretly learning so many different skills. It is expensive and you do require an Amazon tablet in order to use it, but some things are worth paying a little extra for. The quality of this, the pieces that come with it, the fact that the stand extends to match your needs, is all worth the price. Ensure that you keep the pieces because some are rather small and if you lose them, that’s not a good thing.
We have used other apps before for educational purposes and have often found them less interactive than we would like. This product although app based on the fire tablet is much better as it interacts with the pieces included for various games making this about more than just technology. this way it also encourages good hand eye coordination and pushes the child further i feel.
Lets be honest most kids hate to feel they are learning so this is a great way to learn, challenges and fun lead the way here and with its ease of use and sturdy stand this is a great kit for younger kids.The kit offers all sorts of games but mostly spelling and maths based which are fantastic.Once youve downloaded the apps needed from the store you are ready to go so if you have knowledge of setting up apps etc this is a piece of cake for you. the stand is well made and sturdy and holds the screen well and the pieces for the games are also well made. nicely presented and would make an ideal gift for a child who loves tech or like us for home school.
A lot of fun for my 3 kids and myself, It’s a great educational kit, the app is very simple to use and well designed. It feels very much like a game, but has cleverly designed educational features, just for a concern in general about young kids and the amount of time they spend in front of a screen, you need amazon fire tablet to play with. The only thing is Price is too high for such kit, other than that, I think it’s a great produc
This set is a very good way to get your child to use their tablet for educational purposes instead of just for playing games. The games themselves are downloaded from an online website once you gave created your profile. It would be easier just to have to download one app from which you could access all the games but you have to get them all individually. Once loaded they are fun but helpful for learning. My nephew especially likes the maths based one. The stand provided gives a good base for playing. So slightly overpriced but a very good way to get your kids learning via their favourite tech.
With your tablet safely docked in the stand you clip on the mirror attachment which redirects the inbuilt selfie cam down to point at the desk below and lets the tablet see what you place or draw in front of it. The games are well produced and slick and mostly work well. The Word and Numbers games are easy to play but keep you challenged – you place combinations of letter cards to spell out words or numbers cards to solve the onscreen puzzles. Some games are played against onscreen opponents or against the clock and they can be really fun once you get the idea. The Words game is supposedly suitable for players up to the age of 12+ but we found the vocabulary in the game very basic for that age. It seems the game is made more challenging for older players by reducing the number of hints given or speeding up the opponents rather than using more challenging words.
We had some trouble with the Tangram game, where you have to arrange the geometric shapes to match the pictures onscreen, because it struggled to see how our shapes were laid out. It could have been light reflecting off the surface of the pieces, we couldn’t figure it out, but it’s worth ensuring you have good lighting and a plain surface to play on.
The kit also works with other OSMO drawing games and the Einstein and Masterpiece games are recommended on the box. We’d also recommend the Monster game which is really fun and allows players to draw objects which then get imported by the friendly monster and used to tell onscreen stories or play games. You’ll need lots of blank paper to play it and a set of felt pens (or similar) but a wipe-clean whiteboard-style pad would work too. You can of course also buy the specially designed OSMO drawing board if you’ve got any money left after buying this kit.
If you consider this kit as an introduction to the OSMO system which then allows your kids to play a bunch of their games then it seems like better value. It’s certainly pricey but the games are mostly good and manage to be genuinely fun as well as educational.
It’s a brilliant idea and a great alternative way to use a tablet without constantly staring at the screen. Set-up was easy. Instructions were clear and the apps were easy to locate, download and open.
The included games are fun and educational. They encourage and improve dexterity and keep the mind active with lots of problem solving and thinking!
It all packs away neatly and easily back into the box too at the end. Great product.
I’m always interested in new developments in educational technology . I have Nine Grandchildren , keeping up is hard .
The Osmo Genius kit for Fire has 5 games included all of which help make learning fun . The games range from words to shapes , numbers and drawing …and the only thing you need to get going is a Fire tablet or iPad .
Each game has its own app , so after they have been downloaded you can play Offline , no need for WiFi . Just make sure you have a compatible device .
This will be a present for my grandchildren , something for the older ones to enjoy . Any game that makes learning Fun gets a huge thumbs up from me .
Included in the box are the base ( Not compatible with iPad ) the tiles for each of the 5 games and the mirror which slides over the camera and projects the images below .
I’m impressed so far , I will update my review at a later date when it’s been thoroughly put through its paces .
We have the kids Fire 7 tablet, and as the stand doesn’t work with the protective casing still on, I was a bit apprehensive in using the tablet unprotected as it only works this way. Thankfully none of the applications require much movement of the tablet, so the risk of damage was low. This does somewhat limit to it’s use on a tabletop, but that’s probably better in the long run, to use these devices again as though old-school desktops, than have the lacking concentration that comes with using one in front of the TV and other distracting stimuli.
I remember when I was a kid, there was a super lo-fi website that was full of educational games that I adored, so it’s a great age to get them in to games where they actually can learn something.
The thing I love most though is the dual-interactivity. It’s not all about doing everything on the Tablet – that’s more there as a guide, and there’s still the physicality of using the wooden blocks to recreate the geometric shape, or an actual pen and paper to draw with.
It’s impressively reactive, like with the shapes game, it can see with the camera that you’ve done it right. The responsiveness of the app itself is very impressive. The drawing one I was particularly blown away by. I don’t know if it teaches hand-eye coordination or what, but the fact that it uses almost like a VR hologram thing to teach how to draw, as a grumpy old person, I couldn’t believe the technology.
A great set for any kid just starting school. It definitely makes learning fun, and the app and the physical pieces have all been very well designed.
Its a great set for kids. Osmo is been used in more than 30000 schools worldwide, it’s not hard learning its fun and play.
Very easy to set up, everything included you just must have Amazon Fire tablet.
The base station holds the tablet in the upright position, at a slight angle, while the mirror piece slides down over the camera and redirects its view to an area in front of the screen where your child will play. For set up just create an online profile on the website, then download the apps for the games on your tablet, it’s a separate app for each game, then launch each game on the tablet and begin playing. Games are designed for beginner to expert levels, Shapes & placing in designs, problem-solving/early physics, creative drawing skills, counting with numbers/dice, letters, spelling & vocabulary.
Absolutely fabulous and highly recommended set.
A revolutionary idea with a good impact for this technology area and the new generation of children, they can use technology now with this product in an educational way and creative also , still lots of fun !This kit can improve math and literacy skills also can help develop personal, social and emotional skills and fine motor skills! The good news is that it doesn’t require any internet at all so u can use anytime , just update the games and it ready to play !
Opening up the box it all looks well made and nicely presented. The base is sturdy with non slip strips underneath, the red part is the bit that works with the tablets camera, it has a mirror inside to reflect the image below the base in front so it can see the child’s hands using the games number/letter tiles or wooden pieces for the tangram box, so clever. It doesn’t need batteries or mains electricity working from the tablets battery.
Setting up is straightforward, just go to playosmo.com to register (you’ll need your email) then go to your App Store to download the Osmo apps. I wish the apps were rolled into one app rather than downloading five, but it was very easy to do. Once in one of the apps just sign in with the password you used to set up.
The games are really nicely laid out with music and encouraging sounds when a child answers correctly with the tiles, I set up an account for my grandson and one for me but several accounts can be set up for family members or friends to play.
There are five games in this set,
1 – Tangram, a shape puzzle game to follow from the screen, fun and challenging, from easy difficult.
2 – Numbers, set simply to more brain straining maths but all set out like fun computer games, scoring points along the way.
3 – Words a spelling game like wise filling in the missing letters/words from the screen as you interact with the lettered tiles with various levels of difficulty.
4 – Masterpiece is an interactive drawing app using lots of ready made drawings to copy or even using your own photos or from a web search. The image on the screen is copied on a blank piece of paper in front of the base, when finished drawing, click on the tick box and it will upload it on screen and save it to your gallery, you can even email it to family and get it in the Osmo gallery for others to admire.
The last game – 5 is Newton another interactive app game with over 60 levels of creative engineering, starting with a simple bouncing or rolling of balls to gain points using a finger. Please see my photos of the various apps. There’s also an app for parents to download that monitors what game the child has been using on a Osmo, what they’ve achieved and for how long, including answers. An excellent app for parents not always able to be there with the child with work commitments etc.
There are lots more interactive games to download and purchase separately including ‘Super Studio Mickey & Friends’ ‘Super Studio Princess’ and ‘Super Studio Incredibles 2’ they would make great gift ideas to add to the Osmo Genius Kit.
I am genuinely impressed with this amazing Osmo Genius Kit for its fun approach to learning words, numbers, maths, puzzles and drawing enabling a child from five to twelve to expand their knowledge and enjoy doing so where learning becomes something to look forward to, growing with the child’s capacities as they learn. I certainly wish this was around when my children were in this age group in the 90’s. I also think this learning tool could be very beneficial to adults with impaired learning such as dementia, my late Father who died of dementia would have certainly benefited from using this, with help, to keep his mind active, particularly in the earlier stages, this is just my thoughts on it of course, based on my experience, not a medical opinion. Please see my photos, I hope my review helps you, thanks for taking the time to read it.
Very nicely done games that provide many hours of not just entertainment but education. Great for folks beginning to read and write as well as do basic maths.
So cool!! I played with it before giving to my son. No instructions on how to get the apps but after figuring it out setup was cake.
My daughter loves playing osmo. Great games and love that she can actually learn something while playing
Best thing we ever bought her – she is always wanting to play with it and it is great to see her enjoy it so much.
Our grandkids loved these, got one for each of them.
Yes!! This is so fun, I can’t wait to get all the add ons for my kiddos. Super Win! Glad I finally took the plunge! Fyi I got open box price saved me half and it was in perfect condition, only the box was a little dented! Dont sleep on open box deals!
It’s a great product. My grand daughter loves it. She is 6.
Son can’t put this down after school and snack time he jumps right on this and comes to me telling me daddy look what osmo can do! We bought all the addons and aoftware for this so he can stay interested and constantly learn about technology. Amazing Osmo keep it coming!
This gives my kids something to do on their Kindle other than rot their brains. They are 7 and 11. This is a cool device. My kids like the word scramble the best. They compete against each other.
Bought this for our 1st grade niece. She says its her favorite gift EVER. Its getting lots of use.
I just realized the Osmo cannot be used with Fire tablet plugged into adapter because the cord interferes with the mirror. I guess this is more of a design flaw on the Kindle, odd positioning of the power port at the top near the camera lens, rather than the with the Osmo product itself. Actually, come to think of it, it wouldn’t work with iPad version either because cord would interfere with the base.
My daughter loves playing the interactive learning games on the osmo. Just make sure it’s always charged up and ready if you don’t want an upset little one.
I bought this for my son for Christmas, he is 6 and he loves the challenges. He competes to create words and tangrams with Owla. It has helped him grow his knowledge and competitive spirit. Thanks for a great toy.
Amazing!!! We homeschool and this kit is the perfect addition to our curriculum. Both my 5 and 7 yo love Osmo time and my preschooler is adding and subtracting without manipulatives! This fun learning also gives them technology time on their tablets. My kiddos are extra well behaved when Osmo time is on the line. We have the genius and creative kits and will be purchasing pizza and coding jam this spring for our summer fun.
It was his favorite Christmas gift! He started playing it immediately. It is educational and fun!
My kids are loving these games. We don’t do video games in our house but these are so educational and fun. Great for multiple ages. Check Kindle edition needed, we ended up having to buy a new one because ours was to old.
My son absolutely loves it and it’s helping with school
My girls (ages 6 & 8) love this game system! They love to play the games together, by themselves and with me. It’s nice to see my kids loving learning.
Great for my girls (3 and 7) but I did have to update my kindle to use (should have read the fine print).
My niece very happy with it. I think it is very great and love that it has the option of switching language. That it offers opportunity for parents to be emailed on child’s progress. Awesome…
We LOVE this Osmo! My son loves to be challenged and this is exactly what he needed to keep his little mind going!!!!
My six year old daughter loves the number, drawing and shape games. She’s not so keen on the word game but overall an excellent fun and educational kit.
My daughter enjoys playing the games, although she steers more towards the princess drawing game.
I really wish this could work with the case. My daughter got a Kids Fire HD 10 and we have to pop it out of the case every time we want to use this.
Love this product! My 6 year old enjoys playing with Osmo and challenging herself with the various puzzles and math games to play! I highly recommend this product!! This kind of screen time is PERFECT!!!
This is an amazing item. My autistic son loves playing with this on his Fire tablet!
I couldn’t find the details I was looking for while doing my research on this product, but once I received it and we used it, I am very satisfied with the purchase. My daughter is 6 and she really likes the interactive games and puzzles it offers.
My kid loves all the games but Newton (we really haven’t done it). We play it a lot. He is 5
I got this for my son for Christmas and he LOVES it as much as I do. This bundle is great, it has helped my son with spelling and math! I highly recommend this product to parents as it helps improve those areas for children while they are having fun learning!
Fun games and learning at the same time, she loves it! It is very intuitive. No matter what level she chooses it notices if she is struggling or answering quickly and will adjust the difficulty. Her favorite is the Tangrams.
We purchased this for my 7 year old as a Christmas present- I would say that the age rating is off. Most of the activities are definitely at the lower end of her learning (at least with the included games) but she is having a lot of fun doing them. Its interactive and intuitive and she is able to navigate and do everything on her own. She enjoys unlocking new levels and its probably one of the best gifts we got her. Takes a while to set up as you have to download each “app” after downloading the Osmo App and setting up an account but once it’s done, kids can access everything through the main app.
We got this for our son for Christmas. He tried the word game first. It was a little difficult for him. He is in Kindergarten and only just learning how to spell. He played a few rounds before it got too frustrating for him to play on his own. He tried the Tangram and drawing with Mo(we got the creative kit as well, for our daughter) They both love Mo! I know this will provide hours of fun, and they will be able to use it for a long time to learn more words and math!
My kids have so much fun with this. I enjoy watching them, and I have to control my urge to shove them aside and start playing it myself.
I love the Osmo! I have had some in my classroom for years and just got this one for my son! It is perfect for learning shapes, letters and numbers. I recommend it to all my friends!
Initially I bought Osmo to my daughter but the whole family is having a blast. Thanks Osmo team you did an amazing job!
The base is awesome with the extendable legs. When testing the letters, numbers and tangrams out while I set up a new kindle fire 7 all the games worked well. So far the games recognized the pieces well. We have issues sometimes when using them with the iPad version. I really feel so far it works better than with the iPad.
I look forward to the additional osmo games to come out for the fire so we can switch all our osmo game play to utilizing just the kindle fire.
The letters, numbers, and tangram pieces come in small stackable plastic boxes. Sometimes the lids stick a little when trying to get them off.
With this genius kit you can play the numbers, letters and tangram games but you can also use paper or dry erase board to play the monster, Newton and masterpiece games.
