Title: Perfect starter kit for 6 year old
Review: 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.

Title: Great for an Ipad
Review: We love Osmo! I love how it teaches kids on the iPad. It’s fun, and looks very cute. It also comes very organized so you can keep all of your pieces together. Originally received this as a gift and bought for someone else!

Title: Kids love it
Review: This product is so good for keeping the kids entertained. They are on the tablet but it's really handy on and educational. It is easy to adjust the level as they get more capable. There are also lots of ads ons to expand the use of this.Cons: Amazon is still shipping out the old osmo reflector tht doesn't work on the newer tablets. Which is a bit ridiculous as the newer tablets are 2 years old now and the adapters for the old reflectors are not available anywhere. On the other hand while it says you need an adapter for the newer tablets you kinda don't. If you go to the camera before you start the osmo apps you can line up the reflector with the camera and honestly it really doesn't move so you can just balance it in place. On the other hand you can buy a couple of thick elastic bands and they will do the same job as the adapter and probably be a lot cheaper. So an easy fix but for the price you really shouldn't have to be jimmy rigging it for the newer tablets.Note: there seems to be a lot of these returned so you can often get them at a good discount. I've not payed full price for any of our bases or add ones. Having said that it takes a bit of figuring out if you are not tech minded. The trick is to go to the adult profile and down load each game that you have separately so see this set as 5 games/apps to download. The first app will have you set up an account and then all the others will be easy after that.

Title: Great learning/teaching tool
Review: 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.

Review: Meine Tochter hat das Osmo Fire Grundpaket zum 6.Geburtstag bekommen und hat sich sehr gefreut.Wir spielen Alle gerne damit von jung bis alt. Es gibt eine Menge von zusätzlich erhältlichen Erweiterungen wie Spiele u. Zeichenboard. Die Spiele sind leider nicht alle auf deutsch jedoch machen trotzdem einen riesen Spaß. z.B beim Zeichnen spricht die Figur in englsich aber sinnbildlich können die Kinder auch mal ohne grosse Unterstützung das Spiel spielen bzw. zeichnen. Als Zeichenboard kann man auch einfach nur ein Blatt benutzten - oder eine weiße Zeichentafel mit abwischbaren Stiften von anderen Herstellern. Den Preis find ich angemessen, doch Preisvergleiche und Alternative wie z.B. die Zeichentafel schonen unseren Geldbeutel :)Wünsche euch viel Spaß
