Osmo Genius Starter Kit

Let’s face it, our kids are far more tech savvy than any generation before them. I remember being amazed a few years back as my then two year old daughter got the tv remote and said “I can do it!” Sure enough, I watched in disbelief as she began to change channels, control volume and even turn on and off when asked.

Osmo Genius Starter Kit is a great way to turn an iPad or Amazon Fire into such a great educational tool! Recognized as a winner of numerous prestigious children’s awards and utilized in over 30,000 classrooms, this program is a great way to get your child learning while having a great time.

Each of the 5 included programs have multiple modes and levels for hours of learning fun. From word games games to math problems, problem solving to science, there is something for everyone! One of our favorite programs is the Masterpiece program. Simply take a photo of any object using your tablet and Masterpiece will transform it into a basic line drawing that your child (or mom or dad) can retrace to draw their very own Masterpiece!

Osmo Genius Starter Kit will be a great addition to any home! Watch with joy as your child has hours of fun educational and creative playtime and be prepared to be amazed as their minds expand with the great and age appropriate knowledge Osmo gives them!

Kids look so stinkin’ cute playing the KidzLane Fishing Game! The game stretches their hand eye coordination while also teaching them to take turns.
