Osmo – Little Genius Starter Kit for Fire Tablet + Early Math Adventure – 6 Educational Games – Ages 3-5 – Counting, Shapes & Phonics – STEM Toy (Osmo Fire Tablet Base Included) (Amazon Exclusive)

By far this is the only thing that my son really loves to do during school hours he is a active 4 yr old and loves his one on one time with his shapes number and making stories with the littler person that they send in the kit. I am going to purchase more things to go with this OSMO. You have to invest in your children’s education if they are home with you every single day. This is not easy on some of us parents but its worth every single dollar.

My baby loves this and so do I. Every parent should put this on the Valentine’s Day, birthday, Christmas, or just because list for their children. It’s fun and engaging and my daughter is learning so much. I can’t wait to get the other expansions of this program.

Great education tool. Keeps my kid engaged and entertained while learning.

My 4 year old son loves this. We have to help him set it up. Ounce it’s ready he’s on his own and really enjoys this.

Got it from Amazon Warehouse Deals
Came all complete as new! Excellent Value for Money.
It’s going to be a birthday present so the child hasn’t used it, but we have another Osmo for iPad so we know it’s a good learning tool.

The three year old has been sent back from nursery for the second time and this has really come into its own.

We can generally get him involved with this which means we can get on with some work. Actually we quite enjoy it as well!

We are using it on a Kindle Fire and it was easy to set up.

Did not receive instructions for the kit or the redemption code for the additional games. Otherwise this product is awesome. Kiddo loves it.
Edit: communication with osmo was very easy, they provided a code within 1 day.

Osmo is rather wonderful — an interactive educational toy that bridges the gap between real world and screens — and something with which it’s amazingly easy to get children involved. Where there are screens, there are kids queuing! The kit is nice and sturdy and consists of: a base unit to dock the tablet into; a reflector that clips on top of the tablet; two boxes of pieces to support 6 game types (Squiggle, ABCs, Costume Party, Shape Builder, Counting Town, and Stories); and a mat for putting pieces on to interact with the tablet.

The plastic base is very solid and sturdy and not prone to tipping over, even when excited pre-schoolers start poking at the screen! To use the system you do need to remove tablets from any cases before fitting the base and reflector. This Little Genius Starter Kit is compatible with generation 7-9 versions of Fire tablets, but at the time of writing (nearly two months after release) this has not been made compatible with the 2020 Fire releases. The base systems are available for iPad and Fire, but are not interchangeable between device types. My older nephews already had an iPad based Genius set, but could only use it with the tablets belonging to grown up family members. This Fire platform starter set unlocks using their own tablets to play.

My youngest nephew is a bit below the recommended age level for this and some of the games are things that he will need to grow into, but he’s delighted to be able to sit with a grown-up and use the dressing up-based Costume Party and Stories — seeing the clothes he’s putting on characters on the play board appear in the on screen animations — replicating something he’s seen his older brothers do with their iPad-based version. From an adult point of view, it’s a bit less stressful to use an Osmo system with the kids’ own, less expensive, Fire tablets rather than on iPad.

Amazing device for kids to interact with the Ipad. Got it mainly for my 3 year old but my 7 year old loves to play with it also. Super easy to use. Just need to down load apps on your ipad.

It took a while to get this set up to use as I had to download each of the Osmo games onto my Amazon fire tablet, but once it was done it was really good. There are no instructions with the kit, but instead there’s a link to a website which tells you how it all works. I had put off doing this for a while but it turned out to be really easy. So, in the kit you get a stand which you put the Amazon Fire Tablet on (had to remove the case first), then the clever little gadget which slots on to the top of the tablet and this includes a mirror which reflects onto the white play-mat. Also included is a box of shapes and another box containing a dress-up figure with various costumes (different hats, tops and trousers). Two of the games use the shapes and the other two use the costumes. And they are really brilliant, both educational and entertaining. Our grand-daughter is 4 years old and I know she is going to love this, it’s set at about the right level for Reception age at school. All the games are quite involved and use imagination as well as teaching letters, shapes, numbers and all sorts of things. The child puts the pieces provided onto the playmat and the program then interprets them (difficult to explain until you actually do it). I spent a happy hour or so playing with it. It is quite expensive, at nearly 80 for the set, but I think it should give plenty of really valuable educational and imaginative play time.

I’ll start this off by saying that is one of the best learning tools i’ve come across for my kids.

We’ve tried a variety of paid for and free education apps but most have fallen by the wayside after a very short novelty period and been replaced by tablet time spent watching Netflix… The one thing we got tablets to move away from!

This Osmo kit though really has sucked both my 3 year old and 5 year old in.

This kit itself is simplistic but a really great idea and everything is of a very high build quality, even the box it comes in is well designed.

You get a very hefty stand that your tablet sits on and a simple clip on ‘mirror’ reminiscent of how periscopes work to divert the camera to face down. Then you put the rubber play mat in front of the camera and fire up one of the many Osmo apps.

The apps will then prompt you to use a variety of shapes, costumes, and other items that come in the Osmo kit and as you move them on the mat it detects them and replicates them on screen. Shapes, counting, ABC etc are all covered in the variety of different apps.

There are a few niggles that i’ll point out.

First one is that all Kid’s Fire tablets come in a protective case for good reason. Having to take the tablet out of the case and stand it vertically on the stand is a little perilous with young kids, some way to lock it to the stand would have been appreciated as it just balances up there.

The second one is that although you get a few free apps to start with, the content is soon burned through or outgrown and some of the prices of the additional apps are eye watering, at least double what I would expect to pay given the high cost of the kits in the first place.

Those two grumbles aside, if you want to invest some money into your kids learning then this really is a great tool and i’m already looking at other products in the Osmo range(mainly the more competitively priced ones!)

The most important thing to note about this is that you need a Fire tablet as it is an add on item.
It is only compatible with 7th generation and above so won’t work with the older ones, so check this before purchasing to avoid disappointment.
You can get Fire tablets fairly cheap, either new, reconditioned or second hand and they are a much more affordable option for young children than spending a fortune on iPads.
This is a lovely pre school activity program which uses interactive elements as well as on screen learning.
The kit includes a stand for your tablet, which holds it upright so it can pick up the activity from the pad, such as forming letters and creating characters.
It’s really fun for young children to see their creations come to life on the screen and it provides an excellent way of combining technology with physical play.
Whilst it’s not cheap I think it’s worth the investment, making learning fun is a sure way of keeping your child interested and teaching them skills that are the building blocks for a solid education.
Hope you found my review helpful

You receive a smart looking box which contains Osmo Little Genius Starter Kit.

This is produced for the Amazon Fire Tablets, the kit includes lots, including a stand to sit the Fire Tablet on.
The stand also acts as not just a stand but positions the tablet so when you draw with the sticks and rings and it will come alive on the screen, this is positioning the tablet camera in the correct position etc, we loved this feature.

Your little one will be are able to learn there ABC’s, this is done with a character called Squishy, there are customers to create outfits which will interact with characters again on screen

There are lots for the little one to do with this, it’s a great fun learning tool, there probably isn’t anything you couldn’t do with a pen and paper etc, but the way littles seem to learn now is with tablets and Apps etc, this is an ideal addition to home learning.

Osmo also has a parent app, which will send you information about how your little one is using the apps, again a useful tool

I like this, it’s not cheap but I’m sure it will be used loads, it’s a great way to learn and have lots of fun doing so

I bought the Osmo little genius starter kit for my four year old to have some educational learning opportunities that were still fun. It helps him work on a lot of age appropriate skills. He is learning how to write so the masterpiece game is a great fun way to help him build his fine motor skills. The costume party game allows him to be creative while also figuring out his spatial reasoning. My only concern is that you are supposed to take the cover off the ipad. I have a two year old that likes to play along with whatever the four year old does. I need to maintain parental supervision to make sure the kids don’t knock over the ipad during a spat, but probably not an issue for folks with older kids.

Super pour pratique l’alphabet! J’adore

Bought this for my 3 1/2 year old Grandchildren, amazing way for them to learn. Easy for them to use & interact. Such a clever thing & well worth the money. You can add to it as they get older.

The Osmo Little Genius is advertised at 3-5 years, but we found it too simple for our 4 year old son, so have sent it back and will be purchasing the Osmo Genius instead. The product is well presented and high quality, and works very well, however you have to download an app for every single game, which is frustrating – 6 apps total for the 4 games included; 1 main app, 1 parent app to keep track, plus 4 game apps!

I purchased this item for our 4 year old to keep her occupied and for educational purposes too! It certainly is worth every penny spent, hours of fun and covers all aspects of her current curriculum. We have opened the box and played non stop for three hours, a definite must have for home schooling during this pandemic. The creators are awesome and it captures all aspects of a child’s imagination.

Holds our 4year olds attention (not always easy to do) and fun to sit and watch him. Really gets him to think while he is having fun. We haven’t told him it’s educational lol

What a perfect gift for all little genius out there

What a perfect gift for all little genius out there

My son very happy with his Christmas present from dad step mum loves it to bits thank you

Para regalo. Envo antes de lo que me haban dicho. Ya lo hemos usado y un xito

My 5 yrs old loved it and my 2.5 yrs old is not too much.But worth to buy.

This is a good quality learning game for pre-school age children, and is nicely packaged. Whilst nothing replaces face-to-face play and learning, especially for young children, using media in a way that promotes interactive, hands-on, joint engagement is an exciting alternative to more passive apps games and programs.

The four games in the Little Genius Kit focus on the following skills:
– Nursery school letter formation (ABCs);
– creating pictures with sticks/rings (Squiggle Magic);
– dressing/feeding a character (Costume Party);
– bringing animals to life, which encourages problem solving, learning of
letters and creativity (Stories).

It looks like it makes learning fun.

Of course, you will already have an I-Pad!

A super impressive piece of kit designed to work alongside your iPad. This starter kit includes 4 main games incorporating letter creation and practice, designing and copying shapes, costume play and storytelling.

What’s clever about the Osmo is that a small reflector sits on top of the iPad camera and this can ‘see’ what your child is creating on their white mat. My children (3 and 5) find it easy to use and follow. The 3 year old in particular is very stimulated by the games and is asking to play with the Osmo on a regular basis.

For pre-school children, this is a great starter pack introducing them to numbers, shapes and words. For those in early years education, it’s reinforcing what they are learning at school. All in all a brilliant starter kit and a very clever idea.

Great iPad game for my toddler who is almost 3 years old. Worked well on our iPad mini, and was very quick to set up by just installing the main osmo app and then installing the 4 included games, as guided within the app.
In the box you get the stand and camera accessory needed for the starter kit, along with the mat and two sets of pieces. Each set works for two games each. The pieces are used on the mat so that the camera can sense them and adapt the content on screen.
The games are well pitched for this age group, easy to get to grips with and kept my daughter busy and entertained for a long time.
Within the games, you have creativity such as dressing up characters, or making up pictures using shapes like circles, curves and sticks. These can also be used to make letters, giving the games a good balance of fun and educational benefits.
The whole system is well made, feels high quality and is very intuitive

Great for helping pre school children in helping motor skills!
Pre reading and story telling!

4 game play apps, 38 sticks and rings to help learning the alphabet and costume pieces to change outfits for your character!
