Most of what's in these kits is familiar, but Osmo recently bundled its coding games together with new durable pieces and unveiled fresh cooperative and competitive word and math games to encourage families to play together. Employing the family tablet (iPad or Fire tablet) and combining physical pieces with onscreen games, this is fun learning at its best.

Osmo's thoughtfully designed educational kits are different. Trust me, we have several languishing in the backs of closets. While there are tons of educational toys, apps, and games that promise to ignite a passion in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) subjects, or improve literacy in a fun way, few of them live up to those promises. There's lots of pressure on parents to encourage kids to learn, limit their screen time to worthy content, and help them develop new skills.
