The Osmo Little Genius Starter Kit combines proven hands-on play of Friedrich Froebel’s and Maria Montessori’s manipulatives with advanced computer vision for a personalized and highly engaging experience. To create this incredible new, “tangible” learning experience, Osmo used its AI technology and design-based research for the development process. The result is a system best-suited for the 3-5 age group that helps nurture core developmental skills including: vocabulary, letters, emotions, problem solving, and creative confidence.
Evaluation comments:
“This product is wonderful.”
“The kit comes with a hard plastic IPad base, a red reflector piece, 4 game apps, two stackable storage containers for app accessories, and a silicone mat for the accessories to sit on. Each element of this game, from the accessories to the apps, seem to be expertly crafted and engineered.”
“My kids really enjoyed playing with this. It’s an interactive app that actually works! The accessories that come with this kit work seamlessly with the apps. The apps that correspond with this kit are: ABCs, Costume Party, Squiggle Magic, and Stories. My almost 3-year-old is super into Costume Party and Stories, while my 5-year-old enjoyed playing ABCs and Squiggle Magic.”
“In the apps, there is a consistent character, “Mo the Monster,” who guides your child through the app. To me, he almost has a Pixar quality to him. He is silly and helpful with hints if they get stuck.”
“The thing I’m most impressed with is how quickly the tangible accessories (that your kids move around on the mat), populate on the screen. A red reflector that comes in the kit is placed over your IPad’s camera and basically “scans” what is on the table in front of the IPad. When they say, “your creation comes alive on the screen,” they mean it!”
“My kids loved how interactive the games are. When I asked my oldest son what he liked most he said that he liked how whatever he made ends up on the screen.”
“A goal for most parents is to help make learning a fun and enjoyable experience, Osmo absolutely helps do this. It didn’t even cross my oldest son’s mind that this was an educational tool, he thought he was just playing a new fun game.”
“Overall, it’s amazing and innovative!”
