Do your little ones love screen time?
Mine are totally obsessed with anything on a screen, even a calculator! We limit our screentime to 30 minutes of educational games during the week and allow more TV and tablet time on the weekends.
I don't usually limit their screen time when playing with their Osmo. In my opinion Osmo games are more educational than most apps or online games and the tangible aspects of the games are more beneficial for motor skills and inherently gives little eyes a break from the screen.
When we heard Osmo was coming out with a new Reading Adventure program I was SO excited to try it out with my First Grader. He is just starting to read on his own and really enjoys reading. I think the Osmo Reading Adventure will help build his confidence in reading by helping him practice in playful way.

OUR REVIEW OF OSMO READING ADVENTURE
My 5-year-old desperately wanted to play Osmo but didn't quite have enough reading skills yet to enjoy the game. I definitely agree with the 5-7 year old age recommendation. This program was perfect for my 6-year-old who is able to read picture books on his own with only a little help on a word or two. I think he would have also found the program helpful last year in Kindergarten as well.
OUR OTHER FAVORITE OSMO GAMES
My kids love the Detective Agency game, the Creativity Starter Kit especially Newton and Monster. They also love the Little Genius Starter Kit with their favorite game Squiggle Magic that uses the sticks and rings accessory.
