Osmo - Creative Starter Kit For iPad - 3 Educational Learning Games - Ages 5-10 - Drawing, Word Problems & Early Physics - Stem Toy Gifts For Kids,

I absolutely adore this product. I'm so happy that my daughter is getting more educational time on the iPad than she may have before. She loves to draw and this really helped her explore new things.

I purchased a started kit which had a number of items. My six year old granddaughter loves the coding and my 3 year old grandson loves monster with the dry erase board. I think this is a great learning and engaging product.

What a fun product! I brought this to my niece and nephew (ages 4 and 6) when I came to visit last, and it was a hit. They both are creative kids and love drawing, but I think almost any kid would be entertained by the Monster Game. In it, Mo the Monster asks kids to draw various things ings and puts together a fun show for them, using their own drawings! It's almost like a "be your own animator" kind of game. There are two other games as well, Newton, and Masterpiece that they enjoyed as well - but Monster was the real hit. The Creative Kit comes with a high-quality drawing board and markers as well as the Osmo Base and a cute fuzzy pouch. I highly recommend this product for any Pre-K, Kindergartener or 1st graders who love art, drawing, and being creative.

Can’t Use iPad Case

Very disappointed to discover that the Osmo base is not compatible with any iPad cases (except for one specific case sold by Osmo). What iPad activity for children is designed to preclude the use of a case to protect a $400+ tablet?!I am particularly frustrated that I was unable to confirm this compatibility (or lack thereof) until after purchasing the item and beginning the setup process. I knew it would be a dealbreaker for our family if we could not continue using our existing iPad case, and was unable to find any related documentation so I just assumed the base was adjustable. (Again, why would an iPad activity for children preclude the use of a case to protect the $400+ tablet?) We purchased the starter kit and it did seem feasible that the base was ... MoreVery disappointed to discover that the Osmo base is not compatible with any iPad cases (except for one specific case sold by Osmo).

(Again, why would an iPad activity for children preclude the use of a case to protect the $400+ tablet?) We purchased the starter kit and it did seem feasible that the base was adjustable since it’s made of multiple parts, so we began the setup process assuming base adjustment instructions would be provided. None were, and tapping the in-app Help button at the base setup step revealed the following: “Currently, no iPad or Fire tablets work with Osmo, but we’re working on it.”If this was clearly communicated on the item packaging, or even readily researchable before purchase, I would understand. But it’s unreasonable that we were unable to learn this until after we had purchased the item, began the setup process (creating an account, downloading multiple apps, etc) and had access to the in-app help files.I have heard great things about Osmo from a friend who highly recommended it, so if the case compatibility issue is not a problem for your family, go for it! But it’s a disappointing dealbreaker for us.

Could be better

This device is ok. It was interesting to use when you use the app and the device together. However, the one thing my kid and didn’t like was how difficult to clean the white board this came with. I have the white board cleaner and still that didn’t work. I had to search what others had done to remove the left over marker that wouldn’t come off on the internet. And still they didn’t work! You would think for a pricey item the white board wouldn’t be so difficult to remove the marker stains. Not cool…

Creative screen time

LOVE this product. Perfect way to balance screen time with doing something creative and educational. My son is 5.5 yo and it helps him to slow down to listen to instructions and follow along.

Great for kids

Bought this as a gift for my 8 yr old and 6 yr old daughters for Easter and they absolutely love it! Easy to set up and use. Would definitely recommend to any parent with children that like to draw or do interactive things.

Love Osmo!

We are new to Osmo and already purchased 4 sets! We love love love Osmo! My little is 5 and has enjoyed playing the games every day since she got it for Christmas!We did make a rookie mistake of ordering two sets with bases so look into getting one base and then just adding games.

Not compatible w new iPad and have to remove iPad case

My daughter likes this but a couple of things for prospective buyers to note: the mirror that projects on the iPad is not compatible with new model iPads and you can't just replace that part - you have to buy the base and mirror again for like $50. Also if you have a thick case on your iPad for kid use like we do, be aware that you have to totally take that off to use this product.

This is what the grandchild wants for Christmas.

This is what the grandchild wants for Christmas. So can't review it any further until Christmas, as it is a gift. However fair price and great delivery from Target.
