The Osmo Little Genius Kit rewards research — check the family's tech setup before buying

The Little Genius Starter Kit is a smart toy for preschoolers who are ready for guided screen interaction. But it comes with the same caveat as every Osmo product: do your homework on the family’s tech setup before you buy. The games are well-designed for little hands, the learning content is solid, and the physical-to-digital feedback loop is genuinely engaging at this age. But none of that matters if the iPad compatibility isn’t there or the parents aren’t on board with the setup process.
