I love how Osmo states "play beyond the screen." So often my daughter recycles Netflix, or watching videos on Kids YouTube. This to me isn't educational and doesn't foster expanding her creative thinking skills. This product does just that!
She and her dad have been experimenting on the Xbox with Disney Infinity gaming toys, so I thought this would be something fun that I could do with her since I have an aversion to video gaming. I will layout the pros and cons for this product, which ultimately, I highly recommend for all parents starting with a 5 year age group.
Pros:
+ Packaging is simple, functional for use to store pieces once you are done using.
+ Start-up is easy, simply download app from the App Store.
+ Easy, Medium & Hard applications within the program which allows for children to grow into programs.
Cons:
- Only works with Apple Products (I hope the designers expand to other touchscreen devices.
- Need a flat service for the "playing field," which means that this isn't an "on the go" product.
Set-up: Getting started is simple, hassle free. The package came with 4 individual packaged boxes within the bigger package. The base box includes a stand and reflector which are easy to set-up. The base can be used with Apple iPad 2, 3, 4 and iPad Air and Mini. Since the device syncs with many products, the base has 2 options which sync to iPad 2, 3, 4 or iPad Air and Mini. We needed the Air sync, so had to do a quick adapter removal, extracting the adapter and swapping the ends. It was simple and took a second to understand (I am not technical).
Another great option is to go to Playosmo.com to watch video and suggestions for games, setup issues, questions involving games, etc. This seems to be a really helpful feature, considering the total cost paid for the product.
The Tangrem program has Easy, Medium and Hard applications to select from. Since my daughter is 5 years old, we were working with the Easy and Medium applications, but this allows for her to grow with the program, which is a nice feature. The program gives directions and provides confirmation when she was able to match the mirror image to the screen. She was able to work, free of our attention, for almost 30 minutes, exploring the different animal shapes and construction of the pieces.
As far as the numbers and words games, we still need to explore those and I will update my review once we have had a chance to try these out.
My five year old absolutely LOVES the coding game. My nine and eight year old love Masterpiece. And even my two year old loves Tangrams and Numbers. And Monster, well Monster is just hilarious! My older two love Numbers also. The only one I've only seen them play a couple of times is the word game. It looks awesome to me but I haven't gotten to play that one yet. I played Numbers finally for the first time on Sunday for I think at least three hours. It was my day off. ;-) And I don't get to sit down to do that very often so it was wonderful.
I think next on our list is the pizza game. That looks amazing! And I love the tactile portion of that game. What a critical thing kids need to learn. Finances. Counting money. Etc. We teach our girls SOME already with real world practice with what they earn, but Pizza Co. will be so much fun to learn SO much!
I think Osmo must have a great design team! We look forward to more to come!

Reviewed in India on March 15, 2020
My daughter loves Osmo so much that we have also bought Pizza Co and Coding Awbie. She used her own birthday money to buy Coding Jam.
The base is good as the parts that support your iPad come out and reverse, so it takes older iPads as well as newer ones. There’s a little red bit with a mirror in, which sits over your camera and this allows the app to see what tiles are being used. Really great feature.
This is so easy to use and easy to set up. The apps are good quality and free. I haven’t come across any in app purchases which is a godsend these days.
Highly recommend this and so does our 6 year old!
