congrats to them. I have nothing but good things to say about Osmo, its a quality product that teaches very well and doesn't have many (any?) dark patterns to drive reoccurring revenue.
Whats in the box is what it is, and whether its the creative stuff which my kid loves or the math/spelling it keeps him engaged and uses technology to augment physical world learning very well.
- perseusprime11 8y agoThere are so many apps from Osmo. Which ones are you talking about?
- dpeck 8y agoCreative Genius he’s had for about two years, I think it was their “flagship” kit for much of that time. It includes tangrams, math, spelling, a couple creative drawings game and a physics game of redirecting bouncing balls towards targets. Thats the one I would recommend without hesitation for any kid pre-k to mid-elementary. He also got the pizza game one that teaches about money math and making peoples orders over the holidays and has had a good time with it. On the complete fun side he also got the mindracers set for the holidays, very little educational value there but he’s had a great time playing with it and I think kids like having something tangible to go along with their games.
- perseusprime11 8y agoThank you!
- docker_up 8y agoI had exactly the opposite experience. I found the Osmo terrible and my son lost interest extremely quickly. Their Hot Wheels game has nothing educational about it, it's a racing game where you drop tokens on the viewing area. Even as a game it's boring, but the complete lack of educational value is what really ticked me off. The other games are extremely limited, and get old quickly, which is disappointing considering how expensive they are. Leapfrog is much more educational and interesting for kids and much cheaper too.
