Then they began seeing how these shapes and drawings affected the path of the bouncing balls. The kids were immediately blown away to see their toys take shape on the iPad screen or to see their drawings magically go from paper to iPad screen as they drew them. We have issues sometimes when using them with the iPad version. So far the games recognized the pieces well. When testing the letters, numbers and tangrams out while I set up a new kindle fire 7 all the games worked well. The base is awesome with the extendable legs. This is also one of the most impressive apps! Set any object in the playing field and its outline will appear on the iPad screen. We utilize the osmo games for homeschool with our 5 & 7 year olds.

Newton, probably the most advanced game, allows you to use lines or objects to create paths to make the little balls make it to their goal. It also comes with three free apps (downloadable in the iTunes App store) and a set of wooden shapes and two sets of letter tiles.Įach of the three apps have a different focus :: The Osmo system comes with the base, which serves as a holder and stand for the iPad, and the small red clip on mirror piece that really makes the magic of Osmo come to life.

Cool, right? But does it really hold kids’ attention? Educational? Can the whole family really use it? Is it worth it?
