How are Osmo games better than playing on touch screen?

Osmo games fire up multiple skill sets at once: spatial, interpersonal, and motor skills. This is far more nourishing than a simple touch-screen experience, in which the player zones out while playing the game and often loses sight of the outside world. Also, kids aren't hunched over when playing Osmo - it's less time they spend sitting with poor posture.

We call this kind of learning “phygital,” as it combines physical objects and digital learning.

We're all about healthy screen time at Osmo!
