Update 16th May 2015
The Osmo arrived from the U.S. yesterday only 5 days after ordering it! I had to pay B1200 for customs duty so the total came to approximately $120 with shipping. The apps are free and the boys were quickly into playing with the standard games (Words & Tangram) with minimal guidance. They started to argue and who's turn it was quite quickly - a good sign of engagement in the Taylor clan. We have not explored the building app Newton, or the drawing Masterpiece app yet, I'll update with that later on....
Just ordered one of these to test at home. There is an article written by Matt Renwick here: readingbyexample.com/2015/05/09/beyond-the-screen-osmo-for-the-ipad/
