Osmo’s Award-Winning Hands-On Fun and Learning Experiences for Families—Now Available on Amazon Fire Tablets

Osmo, the award-winning system that sparked a new category of seamless digital and hands-on play, announced that starting today it will offer family-friendly, hands-on fun and learning for the first time ever on Amazon Fire tablets.

The releases of Osmo Genius Kit and Osmo Creative Kit for Amazon Fire Tablets create an opportunity for even more children and families to enter Osmo’s award-winning universe previously only available on iOS devices. The bundle brings together a newly designed, versatile Osmo Base to accommodate current generation Fire 7, Fire HD 8 or Fire HD 10 tablets and everything children - ages 5+ - need to experience hands-on learning and digital fun in different ways, with fun titles like Numbers, Words, Tangrams, Newton and Masterpiece, and Monster. Support for additional Osmo titles is coming soon.

“We’re honored that so many kids, parents and teachers have welcomed us into their homes and classrooms,” explains Pramod Sharma, CEO and co-founder of Osmo. “This first step beyond iOS is an exciting chance to bring Osmo’s nutritious play to even more families and students.”

Osmo’s proprietary Reflective AI technology allows the tablet’s camera to “see” objects in front of it so kids can play beyond the screen by combining physical and digital play. Now any object - tiles, pen & paper, blocks, toys, you name it - can interact with the Fire tablet to enable hands-on play that promotes creativity, problem-solving and social interaction.
