There is a new way to learn with an iPad and it is called Osmo, Osmo is a learning system which uses tan grams, words and number tiles. All in the perfect size to get your little one, aged 5 and up, learning in no time.

Set up was easy where you install a few apps depending on what you would like to learn then set up the stand and reflector to more easily read the game pieces. Osmo perfectly melds the tablet’s digital view and camera with real world learning items, which give kids a new way to learn both visually on a screen and by manipulating items with their hands. Kids have so much fun playing they often dont know they are learning as well. OSMO supports, STEM, STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math and STEM products encourage kids to develop core skills in these areas. Best Buy carries products from basic learning games to advanced toys designed to stimulate a child’s mind in the STEM areas, helping to develop logic and problem solving skills.
Little Guy likes new apps of any kind, especially ones with toys as he puts it. And that is the interesting thing about this app it is less of a learning device in the child’s eye and more of a new toy, which works perfect for sneak learning.
Osmo is only available for iPads, but is is compatible with all iPads, so that is a nice treat for those of us with an old iPad collecting dust in the corner. We like how easy it is to store all the various pieces with the kit so little if anything is lost after learning or playing time is over. There are entirely too many toys that are just impossible to store or clean up in a quick manner.
