Osmo Creative Starter Kit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves to draw. I thought this would be fun for her. She played the monster app. She had a lot of fun interacting with the monster and seeing whatever she drew come to life. It’s a great way to be creative and use imagination. Plus it’s educational because she was learning new words. This was really easy to set up. Take everything out of the box and place your iPad on the stand. You just go to the App Store on your iPad and install the apps shown on the box. You will need internet access to to that. Then you open up the app and set up an account. Next your child chooses a profile picture and nickname. That’s it, your child can jump right into playing. The app will instruct you to place the piece on that goes over the camera but I don’t remember at what point it has you do this. I highly recommend this as a way to fuse electronics with learning and creativity. I think this would be a wonderful tool for homeschooling too.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the osmo creative kit. I figured this kit would be great for all around family fun time together and I was right! My daughters (7&3) absolutely love the osmo monster. They had fun playing with it together and with us adults. Their favorite part was designing a room. I love that it is compatible with both ipad and android kindle tablets. We have spent hours playing and learning with these games. I love how vibrant the dry erase markers are and also how easy to cleanup off the board they are as well. My kids use a cloth to clean it during game play. I love how easy to follow the instructions are for my girls. I recommend this to everyone with kids. They will have tons of fun drawing and exploring.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For parents looking for ways to get your kids engaged in creative learning and art, I would definitely recommend Osmo. I myself have enjoyed playing with it; hours and hours of fun and creativity! My kids loved it! So basically, what you’re asked to draw on the drawing pad (included in the kit) will show up on the iPad screen and is used to tell a virtual story. It’s so fun and really draws you in; the whole family got involved. The set up was very easy; the kit comes with everything you need, just download the free app. Cons: 1. To my knowledge, it only works with Apple iPad. 2. During setup, the device didn’t want to recognize the drawing pad. It’s supposed to sense it as you place it in front of the screen, but it didn’t. What I did was hit “skip” and it ended up working fine after that. Other than that, we love it and there’s many other Osmo apps that will work with it, so it’ll keep the kids busy for a while.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Osmo Creative Starter Kit is one of the best toys I have seen in a while. It is geared for kids ages 5-10 but even older kids as well as adults would have fun using it. The set comes with the Osmo base (which requires an IPAD or IPAD mini to use it- that is not included), creative board, 4 erasable markers, eraser pouch and 3 game apps. The setup is very easy and only takes a few minutes to complete. My 11 year old was able to do this step. The game allows children to use their creativity and then bring it to life. There are a wide range of game levels from beginner to expert. I have an 8 and an 11 year old and they both really enjoyed playing with it. My daughter loves to draw and she spent several hours playing with it. It's a great tool that teaches the children so much. I would much rather than use their creativity than spend that time on another meaningless activity. I have been very happy with the Osmo Creative Starter Kit and I can't wait to see what else it has to offer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the osmo kit for my son. He really enjoyed it. It was amazing to see the things he drew come to life in the stories. The mirror image was spot on. He loved how it showed everything just as he drew it. It was simple to put together,and ready to play. the stories were awesome.
