Osmo

Osmo

Have you discovered Osmo? Thanks to parents and teachers, Osmo is an award winning platform for kids that takes learning to another level. That’s why I highly recommend it as one of the best e-Learning Tools of 2020.

Using either an iPad or Amazon Fire Tablet, kids use tangible pieces to create a unique, hands-on learning experience. It’s not just about the screen or technology. Osmo merges tactile exploration with innovative technology, actively engaging children in the learning process.

Simply put, this is how Osmo works:

  • Put your device in a compatible Osmo Base with the red reflector over the device’s camera.
  • Play with physical game pieces — draw, code, spell, and more.
  • Osmo scans the table and your child’s creations come alive on the screen

No matter what your child’s interests are – music, coding, math, Osmo has the right games to inspire your kiddo.

FYI:  Osmo has been adopted in over 30,000 classrooms in 42 countries around the world.

Here are two products I’ve picked out for you…

Osmo MathWizard_Dragons2

Osmo Math Wizard series:

Designed for kids between the ages of 6 and 8.

Math Wizard is an adventure series that combines digital gameplay with active, hands-on learning methods – where kids actually learn math by touching, manipulating, and experimenting. Kids can learn addition and subtraction by brewing potions with dragon claws and sparkle dust – or learn measurement by finding dragons and helping them grow bigger! The Osmo Math Wizard games are curriculum-based and self-paced, helping kids build math confidence and understanding – perfect for digital learning at home.
