Osmo

This is so cool! If you have an apple iPad, and a child of pretty much any age, you’ll want to at least check out Osmo. The art component is my favourite, but there are also spelling games, physics, coding, tangram puzzles, and math. An educational toy where the digital world collides with the real world.
