Osmo Coding Kit, Ages 5-10+, Coding for Kids, Learn to Code, STEM, Fire

This worked great with my kid's 7th Generation Fire HD 10"! Had no issues installing the app, or getting it to read the pieces. She's 8 and loved it, even the simpler game. I think she did gain some interest in coding while playing, but mostly because both of her parents code. She wants to move on to learning scratch next, and then some easy python stuff. What would be really cool is if they had an Osmo app that taught the troubleshooting side of tech too! Update: a few months later and after becoming completely obsessed with osmo coding jam my daughter's now declared that osmo coding is for little kids and moved onto making scratch games! She always looked at scratch as something that was over her head, so I consider it a huge improvement.. even if she has actually lost interest in osmo for now. This was a great first step into coding!

Grandson loved it.

This is a really great system. We bought the version that attaches to the Kindle Tablet. It was easy to set up. There are several games to download and play with these pieces. Appropriate challenge for kids that progresses as they do.

This allows you to play 3 different games . My daughter has so much fun playing this! Nice to see the advances in learning technology to keep these kids focused and having fun all while learning. If you're a child plays osmo, I highly suggest this one!

Very cool concept and my son had fun, but the "coding" is just sequencing. Which I know has a lot to do with coding but he knew how to sequence and has done other programs (for free) that taught that. He was disappointed it didn't have the actual code that you would input into the computer to do all of these things, that's what he wants to learn. Also osmo products unless caught on sale are extremely expensive. And you would think buying add ons would be cheaper but nope the kits are less expensive than buying the add ons because you aren't really buying the plastic stuff they send you, your buying the digital games that goes with it. I checked their site and they have an add on for the genius kit that has check marks for you to say you have the physical pieces needed before it will let you purchase the digital downloads for 60 dollars. Just a heads up, if you think it worth it by all means, but I'm a bit let down.

My 5 yr old son is pretty hyper active and he will sit up to an hour playing on this with very minimal help from me. Nice distraction when I need to clean the kitchen.

We purchased this for our 5 year old grandson for Christmas. It was a hit from the moment it was opened. This is what he asks to play with when he gets home from school. He is already learning more intricate coding from the instructions provided and then the practice that follows. I highly recommend this!

I bought this (and a fire tablet to use with it) in 2021. At that time, many of my grandkids were young and just didn't use it much. I pulled it out in Dec of this year (2024) and opened it to try it out before giving to the kids. I pulled out the fire tablet because you need that to use OSMO. It worked great! I then tried to use it today Jan 1, 2025 and I am now getting a message that OSMO only supports 8th generation or newer fire tablet. I have samsung tablets but apparently, you have to use a fire tablet. I refuse to buy a whole new tablet just to use OSMO!!!!! Thanks basically for nothing!

Wir sind echte Osmo Fans! Wir haben bereits das Genius Starterset und haben dieses Set nun noch als Ergänzung dazu gekauft. 1. Weil noch eine Station dabei ist und nun 2 Kinder damit arbeiten können und 2.weil wir absolut überzeugt sind. Unser 5jähriger wollte gerne sein eigenes "Anton" und er liebt diese Art des interaktiven und trotzdem händischen Lernens. Das hat auch uns begeistert denn er muss immer noch aktiv mitarbeiten und tippt nicht nur auf einem Display herum. Wir finden bisher alle Lernspiele sehr gut gemacht. Der Kleine ist ein riesen Coding aber auch Tangram Fan. Das das Coding mit Musik verbunden ist ist eine echt schöne Idee. Wir können Osmo uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Coding Jam is a great addition to the Osmo. I was an original Kickstarter backer of Osmo and I'm glad it's succeeded in making learning fun for kids. The kids spend a lot of time creating music and sharing with friends and family. Got this for my 7 year old who is really enjoying it. If it helps make learning fun it's got my vote!! Would also make a fantastic present for birthdays or Christmas

This is a great educational toy that helps to teach kids the basics of coding, it's a great start to coding, my boy loves this kit, he's 9 and is following the many modes really easily. The design of the product is really good, the build is even better. The game itself is really fun, keeps my boy quiet for hours and the best part about it is he learning

Alles OK.

Primary school pupils are introduced to coding with a device called a Turtle, a toy-like object wherein one physically puts in a small number of coding commands which the Turtle obeys. They then go onto a computer program such as Scratch, where blocks of code that perform distinct tasks are joined together jigsaw-fashion to create computer programs such as games. Osmo, then is a really clever idea that links these two concepts , physical 'blocks' that join together . These are read by a tablet - a periscope-like device fits over the front camera and the actions of the coder are transferred in real time to what's happening on the screen. It's loads of fun, and is really ingenious in the way it links the two forms of learning together. My seven year old tech-head son, Vinnie, absolutely adores it, and will play with it for hours. What you get: * 31 coding blocks in a box. * The periscope device, called here a Reflector. * A stand for an Amazon Fire (check that yours is of the correct generation) This seems necessary as it's obviously been engineered to be at a particular angle and height for the Reflector to function . * Access to the app, which contains three open-ended programs: A game called Awbie, where you help the titular character move through levels of a funny, colourful video game by coding his next move. A music making suite called Jam, and a puzzle-solving suite called Coding Duo. All of these can be played as games against other users, and they are all almost limitless in scope and depth - the player will never run out of things to do, which I think justifies the price - It's really all the stuff on the app your paying for, not the physical objects. Once the app is installed, you don't need a wi-fi connection to use it, so it can be played anywhere. An excellent educational game for young programmers, then. Unreservedly recommended.
