OSMO - focus on coding

So this morning my son and daughter (4 &7) have been "playing with" OSMO Coding. It has been a fun experience for all involved as they are not only working together to solve problems, but are having a great time.

If you are unfamiliar with OSMO - OSMO is a game system for the iPad that opens the iPad up to hands-on play. "Osmo fosters learning in key areas such as: social-emotional skills, creative thinking, art, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and common core."

How much does it cost?

In the United States the Starter Kit is $79, the Genius Kit is $99 and the Wonder Kit is $145. The Numbers Set* is $29 and the Coding Set* is $49 (* = requires the Osmo base and reflector).

As always, any questions please let me know!
