How Do I Download Osmo Little Genius ##BEST##

Squiggle Magic is such a creative way to let preschoolers practice making shapes, pictures, art and the alphabet! The little shaped pieces are color coded, which makes it easy for young ones to figure out which pieces they need to create the shapes.
Osmo has a variety of different products on offer including the Math Wizard Starter Kit, Kindergarten Starter Kit and the Genius Starter Kit. We opted for the Little Genius Stater Kit which is aimed at children between three and five. This young Londoner is three and a half (so a little on the young side), but he thoroughly enjoyed getting acquainted with the set and exploring the various games.
The Little Genius Starter Kit set comes with a silicone play mat and a couple of boxes containing the real life element part of the set. One box contains a variety of sticks and rings (all BPA free and dishwasher safe) and the other has 19 brightly coloured costume pieces that fit around a little boy. The pieces are durable (as expected with a high end toy) and my son thoroughly enjoyed playing the dressing up game and giggled away as he saw his efforts in real life take effect on screen.
The set-up (as with any of these digital games) can take a little bit of time. This can be frustrating to a child who wants to play with the item RIGHT NOW! Fortunately in this instance it was not too complex and took only around 5 minutes to complete (phew).
The Little Genius Starter Kit is aimed at children between three and five and this little Londoner is on the young side at three and a half but he still really enjoyed the games (although we had to help re-engage him a few times to start with.)
