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.

With tech being such a part of life, it is vital that we as parents find ways to use this to help our children both educationally and productively while allowing them to have some fun too! With the included pieces and interaction, it also gets them physically involved as well!

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 has multiple modes and levels for hours of learning fun. From word 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!

KidzLane Fishing Game

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

I am a stickler for wood toys, they seem to last so much longer!
