My Littles really enjoy the osmo set for their tables. The learning possibilities are endless and the kids will actually sit and play (while learning) for a good amount of time!
My daughter enjoys these ‘games’ on her IPAD. I think it is an excellent learning tool.
So glad I bought this, my son loves it! I recommend this for anyone who is thinking about getting it. I was on the fence for a while but I am so glad that I went a head and got it. Highly recommend!
Good present for a 4 year. It’s a birthday present so not been opened ye
My grandson really likes playing with this and I can already see the improvement in his understanding of the concepts they are trying to teach. His mom enjoys helping him without doing it for him which takes patience but is rewarding.
My son absolutely loves it. He’s learning and great to see.
My 3 1/2 year old loves it! Asked to play his game almost everydayu have to sit with them to help along with somethings but im happy he loves i
Fun way to help kids learn shapes , sizes and increases thinking skills
Bought for my granddaughters 1 & 3 it’s a loved addition to the iPad.
My 5 year old wanted this for Christmas and we got it for her! She’s loves playing it!
Great game for teaching kids of all ages. But I suggest if you buy it for a fire tablet you go ahead and buy an adapter.
It does not come with the original package. It is not for an iPad it is only for a fire table
Einfach ein tolles Lernspiel fr die Kleinen. Unsere liebt es und es handelt sich nicht um den blichen wirren und berdrehenden Schrott!
Eine echt sinnvolle Einfhrung in die Welt der guten Nutzung von Tablets etc.
It has brought many hours of enjoyment to my grandaughte
I bought this for my 4 year old grandson for his birthday. It took his mom some time to get it set up and she ended up having th o buy an adapter for it. But once she got it set up and ready to go he absolutely loves this. He plays with it everyday, doesnt get bored and I realize its connected to his tablet and you may not want your kiddo staring at a screen everyday. But he is learning and having fun and it makes him interact so better than watching a video for sure.
My son love it. Playing with the ABC’s. Waiting for another sale to get the expansion set.
This was a Christmas present for my grandson and he love it. He just turned 4 and he had hard time at first, but now he got it.
we are happy that the use of the tablet is for learning activities with Osmo! Highly recommend
My 4 year old love his Osmo. He needed a little guidance at first but plays with it all by himself. I love how it encourages him to use his creativity. I can’t wait to get him the additional expansion packs. The only downside is it’s not easily portable and is awkward to pack in a bag.
Kiddo loves these games. Plays them for hours. Great investment, her letters and numbers have improved a lot.
I am a prek teacher and we received these for our classroom this year. My students love it, so I bought it as a Christmas gift and my granddaughter loves it too!
My son loves this . I was really surprised how interactive this game is and how much fun this makes learning for little ones.
My son is 5 and really likes playing and learning with Osmo. Only callout is sometimes the app doesn’t recognize the change he is making or doesn’t scan the entire mat for his letters
This starter kit is fabulous! I purchased for my 4 year old and he loves it! Best part is he can do it all on his own I don’t need to hover over him to supervise.
Grandson loves is Great teaching/ learning item its the first thing he wanted to play with over all his other gifts & again this morning before church.. looks like we have a major Hit here thank heavens as he has nor been too interested to want to do any pre school learning looks like we’ve found the answer !! Thank you..
The Osmo app seems easy to use but not too happy with the extra needed pieces for a Fire tablet version of the product. The Fire tablet was purchased the same time as the Osmo set. I’m not sure if the Osmo is very slow or if it’s the tablet. There is a long pause until your child is able to continue. Maybe if the iPad version was purchased it may work more smoothly. I’ll need to look on Amazon to purchase the additional piece needed which should’ve been included in my opinion.
I’ve been having fun setting this up for my 6 year old grandson for Christmas. We are using an older IPad and hope it continues to work. Osmo world is a bit hard to get to k ow but he will probably breeze through it!
I bought this package for my daughter. She is almost three. As a parent, I feel it is a good design. I never let my daughter play with iPad before but I think it is good place to start. My daughter likes some of the games. But I do expecting more considering its price.
As the subject states, I really do enjoy all of the activities for my 3 year old. My only complaint is that the starter kit doesn’t include a sensor that is compatible with my iPad. I opened the present excited for my son, but couldn’t even immediately use it because the included sensor was not recognizing our actions.
I find it crazy the amount of kids I see glued to iPads watching video. Whether it’s at friends or just at a restaurant, they’re often used as a tool to keep them occupied. Don’t get me wrong, I love technology but I do think kids spend way to much time on these things. What I like about this is that it takes the iPad and turns it into something useful and educational which they can use to learn. The set consists of a iPad stand and a special reflector for the camera that in combination with the app and other physical elements provides an interactive learning experience which is pretty cool. It’s a good quality set and it’s great for kids. The only thing that let it down a little was the camera reflector, it doesn’t work with the case I have on my iPad so I have to take the case off every time I want to use it. It’s not the end of the world I know, but they could have easily made it more of an adjustable reflector which would have made it usable with all cases. Anyway, other than that it’s great and my niece really enjoys using it.
Just received this kit. Purchased for my toddler but I am excited to potentially use it in my classroom as well!!
Nostra figlia di 3 anni ci gioca per circa 20-30 minuti ogni giorno. E’ una attivit molto stimolante ma anche di concentrazione e divertimento, molto ben strutturata e con difficolt impostabile dai genitori.
Le app sono fatte molto bene, basta un iPad e si procede. Consigliato!
My 2 and 5 year olds love this. Imaginative yet educational. The price is a bit steep but it one of those things you will use again and again, and for other children.
The ABC’s game is a little fast for my 3 year old but she did just turn 3. My daughter loves playing with it but the game requires me to help her every step of the way and she is a pretty fast learner. Works well on the tablet and easy to navigate. I didn’t realize I would have to download an app for each individual game but that’s not an issue. We still have yet to open other games, we’re just opening and finishing them one at a time. Thank you!
My 3 year old is pretty into Ed Tech, and loves Osmo. Some of the tasks are a bit difficult (i.e. building the letters), but they basically just find a way to play with it that is fun, and some of the tasks are a perfect difficulty level.
Main complaint is you can’t buy a lot of the extra things as “separates” – almost everything comes in a kit somehow. Would love to just add the creativity set and pad, for example, but from what I can tell it’s only sold as part of a set. Same with the math numbers. Wish I could just add-on the pieces I want and need!
Shape builder is my daughter’s (almost 4 year old) favorite game, but now that it won’t open after playing it 3 times, she refuses to play any of them. So this was used for a week and then abandoned. The packaging is cute and the game pieces are good quality. 5 stars if that game hadn’t quit working.
Unsere kleine Tochter ( 3,5 Jahre) liebt es – die beiden ersten Wochen komplett ohne iPad gespielt 😉
My little boy is nearly 3, he absolutely loves it.. works great and the educational side of it is brilliant.
He loves that he can re-create pictures using various sticks/circles etc that is included into the box. He just turned 4yrs old & is definitely age appropriate with room for growth. It makes a great gift & durable too. So happy I bought this for his birthday .
This is Osmo – Little Genius Starter Kit for iPad. This set is compatible with most modern iPads and unlike the osmo kit compatible with fire tablets, this one would appeal to many people since most people have iPads these days. The kit functions offline so there is no need for WiFi while using the kit. Below are the main features:
– This kit is suitable for kids between 3 to 5 years old.
– It is really interactive and makes your little ones think, collaborate, solve, and do activities with physical items.
– The main activities include shape-building, counting, language learning, outfit matching, and adventure solving.
– It improves problem-solving skills, collaboration if played with family, critical thinking, mathematics skills, and provide an interactive learning experience.
All in all, very happy with this kit and would make a perfect Christmas gift if your little one is into solving puzzles, math, and knowledge-seeking.
Firstly, you need an amazon fire tablet to start with. It is a different education tool from the traditional one, its more fun and learning maths when we play with it, a great tool to interactive play and learn together with kids, but too expensive.
This model of the leaning starter kit is working with iPad only so need to check before purchase as it has a different models to work with amazon fire tablet. It is easy to set up, takes a bit of time. It helps kids to learn on counting and learning to know and build sharps, need our help when they just started to play but kids pick up quickly. A different way to the traditional education toys, worth to have.
My 4 year old loves to play this. She is always asking me to set it up for her. I feel that the games are age appropriate for her and she is able to follow along without me sitting with her the whole time.
Essential for the early years development
Very intuitive, classes are engaging, they’re fun and educational too
Few little hiccups with the app on the Amazon Fire
Better than flashcards
I got this educational toy for my niece and nephews to use when they visit, and I’ve been really impressed with how cool this is so far! I’d never heard of Osmo before and was a bit skeptical about the price, but once we’d actually played with it I realised how smart it is and the range of games you can get makes it so worth it and makes the possibilities endless in my opinion – it will last many years and many ages!
Pros:
* Good starter set: comes with accessories you need for a few of the games (we’ve used Osmo World and Osmo Squiggle Magic) and the stand for the ipad itself
* Smart design: being a tech-nerd, I think the design is really clever. The top has a mirror so the front camera faces down on the floor… it’s such as simple but great idea. You follow the instructions and put accessories infront of the stand and as if by magic, poof, it appears on the screen!
* Fun games for a range of ages: both my 2 year old nephew and even my 7 year old niece found these games fun. My nephew mainly liked watching me play and my niece loved matching the clothes and painting them on Osmo World. We made smiley faces and robots with the squiggles and played dress-up for ages
* Fairly easy to set-up: you have to register your Osmo product with your email, and it makes you input a code and then you can install the 6 games (it did however ask for the code loads of times throughout this process which was a bit annoying)
* Sturdy stand: luckily, given the nature of my nephew, the stand holds the ipad nice and securely (it would topple with force mind you)
* Will last as your child ages: you can get lots (and I mean it… There’s so many) of games for the stand so you can keep adapting this to your child as they grow and get games more suitable for their age and development. It will cost but they are less than the stand costs itself
Cons:
* No storage case for main stand: it would have been nice to have some sort of protection as we know how kids don’t look after things! The official case is quite expensive and I’d definitely want to invest in it to keep this all together and safe. For now I’m storing it all in the box
So my general take-away from this product is extremely positive as an auntie and parent. It is quite expensive but to be honest I would definitely say it’s justified due to the fact you can keep adding to your game collection and it’s a sort of lifelong toy for them as they learn. There’s even games for coding, drawing… so much, it’s pretty mind-boggling! It’s great for sensory play, for learning shapes, colours, reading and problem-solving… it will definitely support key skills during school years.
I’m going to start my little girl on it when she’s old enough to hone her skills and aid her development as soon as possible as I think she’s going to be a little genius. In the meantime it’s an amazing tool to keep any visiting children busy. I’d really recommend it for anyone who appreciates teaching and learning with technology, which is the way most kids are being taught now in this era. It’s extremely clever and I appreciate it on many levels. Fantastic!

This Osmo little genius starter kit is made to be used on a fire tablet, which is not included and is a really educational kit full of games for kids. There is a lot included, like the base for the tablet, certain costume pieces stickers, and rings.
There are 6 games that are really educational and great for small kids. There are also Maths games included which are good to start teaching the little ones about numbers. As well as being educational, they are also fun and attention-catching for the children so they stay attached to them whcih is god.
Overall, it may seem a bit on the expensiveve side but it is really good quality and very educational for children so I highly recommend it.

Great product for use of technology in play and learn for preschoolers. My little oneoves the use of stories and the guided puzzles and putting bits and pieces to re produce the model or play along. Perfect find for home-schooling and adding bit of fun in learning.
This is the second Osmo toy we have tried and really enjoyed this set for younger ones. We had no problems setting it up on a Fire 7, but do check compatibility before buying.
You will need to take the tablet out of the case to play, but once it’s set up it doesn’t need to be moved around so should be fairly safe. Each game is downloaded separately. If giving this as a gift I would recommend getting it set up on the tablet in advance – register, download the apps etc, so you are ready to go as there will probably some excitement to play immediately!
The great thing about the Osmo toys is the mix of on screen and in real life. I find the kids don’t get so engrossed in what’s happening on screen that they forget about reality as they have real game play pieces to use as well as watching what happens on screen. We found the apps worked smoothly and had fun with them all, there’s a good variety to develop problem solving skills as well as letters and numbers (although only up to 10).
If I had a niggle it would be that some of the games, like Stories, are solved using logic, but some of these are a little random and rely on trial and error rather than logic! Older kids will also memorise the solutions relatively quickly and may grow bored with some of the games. This set is suitable for 3-5 year olds, although a bright 2 year old could probably manage some of the games with letters and numbers with help. I think by 5 there’s less to keep them interested, which is a shame because the stories are fun and engaging, it would be great to see updates to the apps to be able to progress further and add more to keep this game fun for longer.
For a way to introduce screen time in an engaging and productive way I think the Osmo toys are fantastic. For the price it would be nice to see some further development of the apps or more “levels” added, but overall they are well thought out, quality learning toys.
Importantly, this set includes the Osmo Base which IS required to be able to extend this set as our little gets older and moves onto more age-suitable activities.
Not all the sets include the Osmo Base, so this is important to note if you plan to purchase another of the Osmo sets, as the base element is crucial to be able to use it as intended with your iPad or tablet.
The set is well developed and it will last well for subsequent children as our five year old moves to the next level. The games are well structured and interesting, but it does have it’s limitation for the price. I do ask myself if it can compete with the influx of online educational plethora which has entered the market during lockdown learning. Sites like BusyThings which offer a variety of education material under the guise of games for a very competitive pricing structure.
For a company that specialise in hardware and a educational platform that is useable on-the-go, it is a very welcome new and intriguing resource for young minds that easily tire of the same old website. Plus it gives them what they want – more iPad time! Even though they’re actually learning through Osmo, rather than using the iPad for certain mind-numbing apps.
5 stars
This is a great way to make screen time educational. We’ve struggled with home learning and have used this kit as a tool to spark some interest in learning with our son. He’s taken well to it and he enjoys the games and they feel very much like games rather than that he’s ‘learning’ something.

This osmo little genius starter kit is designed to be an add on for fire tablets (not included). In the box you get;
Osmo Base & Reflector for Fire Tablet, 19 cardboard pretend play Costume Pieces, 38 silicone Sticks/Rings (BPA Free and Dishwasher Safe) to practice letter, number & shape forming, silicone game play mat, stackable storage for game pieces & 6 Game Apps: Shape Builder, Counting Town, ABCs, Costume Party, Stories, and Squiggle Magic.
It comes nicely boxed and it is suitable for 3-5 years. I would recommend buying whilst the child is in the bottom end of the age bracket (3) as this is quite a basic maths, pre reading, story telling and fine motor skill programme.
Overall I think this is a great way to get children interested in learning, without even thinking that they are doing work. As well as 6 game apps, you can draw in front of the tablet and scan the table so that the drawing comes up on the screen.
Very clever and overall I really like it. We have come across a couple of minor glitches on the fire tablet (although to be honest this is universal with most apps!) but I do think it has a very high price point.
Easy to get up and running, and it’s so nice seeing my boy interact with it
It’s incredibly good for early years
Great set of educational games with the Osmo Little Genius Starter kit the target age group is 3-5+ Year olds.
Great interactive games that your younger kids enjoy doing because the perception is it is just play but all the time they are learning with the ipad and not just playing!!
Yes it isn’t an impulse buy given the cost it has to be a considered purchase but if the finances check out well worth it.
Super easy to set up and use (provided you have something other than the models listed as not working Generation 1, iPad Air 4, iPad Pro 11-inch and iPad Pro 12.9-inch)
The pieces in the kit are sturdy and shouldn’t break for younger kids you may need to sit with them while using the product.
The only con as with all ‘toys’ is will it engage the kid(s) for long enough to justify the expense? and in all honesty possibly not (depends how many use it) as we must have all experienced where the child has more fun with the boxes than the items at christmas 🙂
my son is 3 and he loves this osmo. He learns well when told in detail and “Mo” the character does just that. My son is a creator and osmo let’s him create a whole story.
Great product for learning. My autistic son has trouble focusing for anything school related. Will use this for about an hour before taking a break. Fire tablet set requires a reflector adapter. Totally recommend just make sure you buy adapter if needed. Comes with everything in images
We have been struggling with teaching my son his alphabets and this program has been AMAZING! it’s fun, its silly, it keeps him entertained and hes learned so much! he can now write so many letters!
We bought the Osmo Little Genius Starter Kit for our preschooler (almost kindergartner) and he LOVES it!
It’s a great tool for learning letter recognition, letter sounds, spelling, and math!
The Osmo character is adorable and encouraging.
I love that we can check our son’s progress any time with the parent app.
The best part is, our little guy thinks he’s just playing a game!
(Tried to upload a video but couldn’t. )
It’s a pretty great little program. Takes some getting used to with the little one, but once she got the hang of it she just took off!
And I love that they have different programs for different ages and stages. They also have games and art programs. My 4 year old has almost all of the programs that were age and ability appropriate for her (: thanks for making a great program.
Pros:
Easy to set up and use, both for kids and adults
Fun and engaging characters that kids like
Sturdy pieces and storage containers
Good variety of activities, both in terms of fun and from an educational standpoint
Cons:
Very young kids probably can’t do these activities independently. I got this for my daughter when she was two and a half. She already knew all of her letters and numbers, but really couldn’t make the shapes out of the sticks, even with the detailed instructions from the character. She’s just turned three. Even though she’s improved, I still need to sit and help her.
The story game is more manageable for her right now, but there are so many pieces with so many little details that she gets lost looking for the right thing. It’s a great activity and I love what it’s trying to teach her, but she’s just not quite there yet.
Bottom line:
Little ones need help, but I definitely think it’s worth it in the long run.
Very good educational learning games for kids, might seems too easy for kids over 4, but it is so much for my 2.5 years old girl.
Great product for learning. We have issues with ABC and Squibble we have been only able to use squibble 1 time and since then the app will not work! I have had to buy a newer fire tablet and if that doesn’t issue isn’t resolved we will be returning for the Apple versio
Well loved by 3 year old really helped keep him occupied
Fun games and great learning toy. My child is a little rough on the pieces and still puts things in her mouth so she has unfortunately ruined one of the costume pieces and at least two of the shape/letter pieces. Not sure yet if it will hinder our playing the games. Great for most kids.
Fantastic, my daughter love its and has played with most days
Bought for our 4 year old daughter. She loves it and is really helping her commit letters, shapes and numbers to memory. There need to be more learning products like this for kids. Only complaint about these are prices on everything. Have bought a few kits and have spent well over $300 so far.
Bought this for my soon-to-be 4-year-old and he really loves playing with the costume setup for this. I can’t wait till it gets more into making the alphabet. He tried it but I think he’s still a bit young but he’s really enjoying the rest of the parts to the set up in this set.
Love you lots his Osmo game, easy to use for my almost 4 year old. Items are made well out of attractively coloured rubber. Easy to store after as there are storage boxes. Very easy for my toddler to set up and use on her own.
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.
This is the best Christmas toy my daughter got this year! The apps are fun and engaging. She loves it.
Good variety of games, quality materials.
Easy to register and track progress.
Simply the best electronic educational tool/app available if you have an iPad or kindle tablet.
Daughter loves and enjoys her time while playing it.
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.
Osmo math fun for Fire. 4 1/2 yr old Grandson was so excited to get this for Christmas and mom reports it is all she expected it to be. He’s enjoying working and learning the new games. I’m a retired teacher and so excited to see these options for our kids!
If you want something that makes your kid think and problem solve at a young age, this is for you. The accompanying apps are well scripted and do not interfere with the child’s use. Work to the wise, dog hair likes to stick to the mat, so keep it off the floor, lol.
so you buy this thing as it says it is for fire tablet thinking it has everything to work with one and then find out after it arrives you need another adaptor for the adaptor to make it work for another $10 plus tax and shipping. It does not fit over the protective shell that comes with the kids fire tablet so you have to remove it, then place the reflector and after trying one game realize something is not working and that you need another orange reflector adaptor for the red camera reflector adaptor. I managed after fiddling with it that the red adaptor needs to sit higher to make it work. So i added a pencil between the tablet and the red camera reflector to keep things in place. Stupid this adaptor was not included in the box and the documentation is poor to understand that you need to buy something else thinking you already have everything as it says this is for a fire tablet. Not User friendly in this manner and you still have registration bs (emails and codes) to deal with. I doubt my child’s 88 year old grand pa can figure this setup out even though he is a mechanical engineer with a master degree. This should be simple out of the box thing for 4 year olds not needing to look for extra adaptors and playing with email and codes.
Pros: It is very interactive and uses a mirror to project what your child places on the mat. Love the settings to adjust the difficulty level!
Cons: I do not like having to install the learning games under the parent profile. I wish we could install it under the kids so they are not logged onto my parent profile where they could accidentally purchase something. There might be a way to change this, I haven’t found it yet.
