                                          Today everyone wants his kids to be creative but everyone thinks that the only way to make his kids creative is to give them smart phone, tablet or make them sit in front of a laptop or desktop. Well this is not the true, physical world experience can’t be get from the virtual world, so let your kids experience the beauty of a puzzle game, word game and other type of small games physically. Hey, but what if we can merge the physical and the virtual world with each other? OSMO is the answer, this is a gadget based game system. OSMO is developed by former Googlers and I am going to tell you about this amazing product in detail today in this post.
