Osmo Creative Starter Kit - 3 Educational STEM Games for Ages 5-10, Drawing & Physics - For Fire Tablets

Picked up a few Osmo sets at a garage sale and my 4-year-old grandson was instantly hooked. I grabbed this set next, and it’s another winner. He plays on his own or gets the whole family involved, and it sparks both imagination and real skills. One note: I did have to use an older tablet to get it working, but once it was set up, it ran perfectly.

Great for encouraging creativity with kids!

All the different components of different ideas and thoughts, make up this for the child to learn so many things, like critical thinking, in art, math, problem solving with fun. The interactive experience is something that keeps the student active and enjoyable. As an Art Teacher, teaching how to think outside the box and what the make up of art does for the brain for any age person, is amazing and thought provoking, calm, fun and entertainment while letting the brain enjoy new concepts. It's a good tool. My grandson is 7, and used in his school, and for his 8th birthday, I got him the Art component. It's so much fun. I also work with kids of this age on hands on projects. This one is computerized fun.

First, it’s underwhelming when you open it. It’s just a white board with some markers but when you connect to your iPad, be prepared for a wonderful and fun creative experience. The board is quite thick and easy to clean and the markets work great. The $50+ price tag includes the experience and not just the board so I would say it’s worth the money. I got this as a Christmas gift for my 5 year old along with the Osmo Genius Kit after seeing a good price around Black Friday because of how cool it looked. I was however kinda scared when I read the negative reviews after purchasing and wanted to return it but saw it could not be returned. It is so interactive and funny. The monster reminds me of Sully from Monster’s ink and it’s super immersive! It tells your kid to draw different items and then the drawings become a part of the screen and the monster interacts with the drawing. It also helps my daughter sharpen her drawing skills and deepen her creativity. We all love it! Cross your fingers and hope nothing goes wrong because if everything goes right, you and your kid are going to love it. See video posted for evidence of awesomeness!

This is a really cool concept and it works really well. We were Christmas shopping and wanted something that isn’t a toy for our six year old daughter. This popped up and it seemed perfect. We bought this game/system since she loves to draw. We also picked up the iPad case along with the pizza and detective games. The one downfall is that you need to download an app for the system itself and separate apps for each game. This eventually takes up tons of space on the iPad which sucks. This particular game is my least favorite. Honestly, it’s a bit redundant and boring. My daughter enjoys it, but finds the other games much more entertaining. All in all we love the Osmo games. It’s a great gift for the kid who doesn’t need more toys— plus it’s educational and they can set it up and play without help!

I bought this for my niece who loves drawing and sketching. Monster Game take the kids through a journey where the character Mo takes kid's help in setting up his home, doing activities etc. Each activity involves the kid sketching something to help Mo. For example, drawing a bed on which Mo can sleep. I felt it is a great way to teach kids about things around them especially ones who are interested in drawing. Mo is always gentle and never discourages the kids even if sketches are not consistent with what he asks, which I felt is a great thing. Kids of this age cannot be taught by telling them by what is wrong, they learn the best through motivation and through reiterating what is right again and again. This is what the game does, it repeats the right thing through hints to kids multiple times eventually taking the kid to the right outcome. Kudos to Osmo for thinking it through. Note to parents, please play with your kids for the first time; your commentary on activities can really help the kids use it better.

We really love this we recommend it to other people to buy for their children my son spends hours playing it and he is autistic.

My kid loves drawing. I can buy her a cheap thick sketchbook and she'll draw on every piece of paper within 2 weeks. She's only 4 but she has really shown such an interest in her creative side that I wanted to get something that would fulfill her need ro draw but not be so wasteful with paper. I ordered the little Genius kit from OSMO last Christmas and she still really enjoys it so I thought we'd try this out. This is absolutely perfect for her! She was so happy to get a new OSMO kit and the fact that it's all about drawing and creativity made it even better. I love that they don't charge to download and play the apps. All you have to do is buy the kit and there is no monthly fee like with other games like this. They have fantastic sales too. I highly recommend!!!
