For what you are physically paying for, this is way overpriced. I was under the impression that the base would plug into the iPad or something but it’s just an expensive iPad stand. The red mirror thing for the top of the iPad could use a guide so the kids can make sure it’s in the right spot on their own. I bought an open box kit which claimed to be in excellent condition- missing no parts... but mine was missing the red marker which is super annoying but whatever. My 6 year old likes drawing items in monster but it’s super hard to trace the pictures in masterpiece, even I struggle doing it. Newton is kind of cool, once you get the hang of it.
But yeah... $70 for a stand, mirror, 4 markers, fuzzy case/eraser and whiteboard. A bit much. $30-$40 is what this thing is worth.

Works very well. The only reason for four stars is it only works with iOS. Other than that, my kid has a really good time with this.

Great for kids! My niece loves it even know her age is uder the reccommended starting and cant yet use half of thefeatures, the drawing games it has that brings your art to life is enough to keep her occupied for hours on end as she grows into the rest of the games involving math and science, also giving her a head start!

I purchased the Osmo Creative Starter Kit for my 7 yr. old daughter who loves to draw and tell stories so it was a big hit!
It was a great value. She draws so much that I was spending a fortune on paper, canvas, pencils, markers, paint, and crayons! Plus trying to find somewhere to put all of her artwork. Osmo allows her to draw her masterpiece, take a picture of the screen on the iPad and now I don’t have papers scattered all over my house! :)
What I love about all of the Osmo products, is they include learning while still allowing kiddos to feel like they are just playing.
Osmo is a win-win for parents & kiddos!!

We typically do not let our kids use tablets, but Osmo is the exception. This is extremely interactive software that encourages play and creativity outside of the technology element. My twins that are 5 fight over using the Creative starter kit. It's so much fun - kid and parent approved!

I do recommend buying starter pack first before any game. It comes with all tools needed .Cones with 3 games and also markers,eraser cloth bag tablet stand, and board. Games are downloadable apps no physical cartridge or cd. My son loves how drawings come to live , helped improve drawing skills. I also love the way you can download the parent app where you get alerts of children’s progress.

My little nephew loved it. It was a birthday gift for him. They have three different kinds. One was for drawing, the second one was for reading, and the third level has puzzles. I literally have to ask my little nephew to see which one he really need. He is at the level where he likes to draw a lot so we got the Osmo drawing kit. FYI: IPad is not including.
