The suite of Osmo games include apps that feature drawing, literacy, physics puzzles, spatial reasoning, coding, and more. Each one offers an "augmented reality" experience where mobile apps bring real-world accessories to life.

Osmo Coding Awbie is played by placing blocks of code in a sequence on the table. Once you have assembled your program, you can run it by tapping the screen. The Osmo system will have a hard time seeing your code if your hands are covering the blocks. Make sure your hands are out of the way before tapping the screen.

Osmo offers a comprehensive reading kit that uses a tablet to teach kids an array subjects including reading, coding, mathematics and more. In essence, the Osmo system is really three things: An iPad or iPhone stand with a reflecting mirror that goes over the device's camera.

Each of the games can be purchased as part of a bundle or a kit, as well as individually. See these complete lists of Osmo Starter Kits and Osmo Bundles. Many of our apps are available free of charge, but most of them require game pieces to play, which can be purchased on PlayOsmo.com or through Osmo retailers.

Although an Osmo kit is expensive, we think it is worth it. If you decide to buy one, you'll want to get your money's worth. Explore all the different apps and games, get kids started young, and let their friends use it too (it would be great to share in a playgroup).
