Product Overview
I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Osmo Genius Starter Kit. This kit is a great way to introduce your child to STEM, art, puzzles, and more. It comes with the Osmo Base and Reflector for iPad, Tangram pieces, Numbers tiles, Words tiles, Stackable storage for each game and five game apps: Numbers, Tangram, Words, Newton, and Masterpiece.
The Osmo Genius Starter Kit is a great way to get your kids interested in STEM projects and help them learn while having fun. The games are designed for beginner to expert levels so it can be used by children of all ages. The kit also helps kids improve their hand eye coordination and self expression through puzzles and drawing games.
The kit also includes a number of educational objectives such as shapes, visual problem solving skills, math equations, spelling and vocabulary words, freehand drawing and more. This makes it great for parents who want their children to learn something new in a fun way. I especially liked that each game comes with its own stackable storage which makes it easy to keep everything organized when not in use.

The Osmo Genius Starter Kit is compatible with most iPads except Generation 1 4 the new iPad 10th Gen, iPad Pro 11 4th Gen , iPad Pro 12.9 6th Gen are not currently compatible . It also requires an iPad Reflector 2021 for some iPads such as the iPad Mini 6, iPad Air 4 5, iPad Pro 11 inch iPad Pro 12.9 inch. The minimum iOS version needed is iOS 11.
Overall I was very impressed by this starter kit from Osmo. I found it easy to set up and use with my child s iPad and they had a lot of fun playing the different games included in the set. The educational objectives were suitable for their age group while still being stimulating enough to keep them engaged for hours on end. I would definitely recommend this kit to any parent looking for a fun way to get their children interested in STEM projects or just overall learning more about technology in general!
