Product Information

The Osmo Coding Starter Kit is the first coding toy we have owned and honestly, I wasn’t really sure what my son would think. He is 10 years old and loves video games. If he had it his way, he would spend endless hours playing Roblox and Fortnite— but a coding kit? I was a little skeptical that it would be able to hold his attention. But even with my uncertainty of how he would react, I was excited for him to give it a try because I know learning the basics of coding is very useful for children in today’s world — especially those who are drawn to electronics and may one day be able to make a career out of their passion. The apps we loved the most were the ones that required you to really engage with both the physical part of the game as well as the screen. When we first got our Osmo, the base and add-ons all came in this beautiful, handy boxes that were magnetic so they stayed together beautifully. I don’t think that’s true anymore, though it looks like the base kit comes with some small storage containers. If you’re having a hard time keeping it all organized, Osmo now has a separate storage organizer. Should you get the Osmo? This is one of the main reasons I feel like coding needs to be introduced to children at such a young age. They are not just learning about coding, they are learning about a whole slew of other accessory concepts while playing a game that is engaging, fun, and educational.

The Word game involved a lot of guessing and it seemed so random what pictures and words they had. My son who is learning how to read was just confused and my older son who can read was easily bored by it. The drawing app was okay (one of my boys enjoyed playing it once). But I didn’t love that it just involved staring at the screen, and didn’t involve a ton of creativity.If you’re using the Osmo with your ipad, I’d HIGHLY recommend getting the Osmo case that goes with it. I really wish this had been out when we first got our Osmo, because that was one of the things that made me the most nervous about using it when the kids were younger. Access to the other apps that don’t require extra pieces – like the Drawing app and the Newton app. Osmo’s Coding Awbie uses several of the Basic Coding Concepts that are useful for children of any age. Before you begin playing this game, make sure to explain to your child about the basic steps for cooking the dish, along with the ingredients required to make it. This was a super fun game that all three of my boys loved. It involved not just learning adding in different ways, but also planning ahead to create combos. It’s another game that progresses well with levels.
