Product Information

We want to bring preschool learning to the 21st century by merging Friedrich Froebel’s and Maria Montessori’s manipulatives with the adaptability and personalisation of digital applications. ” If you prefer kits that focus their learning material more specifically to age ranges and grade levels (elementary, kindergarten and preschool), Osmo has recently created starter kits that do so. A rather new and unique title in the Osmo series, this kit is designed around Osmo’s Math Wizard app series, an adventure/RPG series of educational math games that teach math up to grade 3. So while Osmo has excellent compatibility with Apple devices, Samsung and other Android users will have to look elsewhere. How Osmo Works
