The Osmo Genius Starter Kit made my kid forget she was near a screen — and that's rare

I was skeptical about the Osmo Genius Starter Kit. Expensive upfront, requires an iPad, and I’ve seen too many “educational” toys gather dust after a week. But this one stuck. It’s the only learning app that ever made my kid forget she was near a screen. She was solving puzzles, learning math, and actually engaging with the physical pieces — not just tapping glass. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely.
