In June 2020 Little E was given an OSMO Genius Kit to review and help with our home learning journey. Over the past year, she has also been able to explore more OSMO games including the Creative Starter Kit as well as exploring the world of coding with the Coding Starter Kit. She also had some Disney fun with the Super Studio Disney Princess set. OSMO also started to expand their Math offerings with their Math Wizard range. This month launching The Amazing Airships and The Enchanted World Games. Little E was lucky enough to receive both of these new games to review.

Playing Math Wizard and The Amazing Airships
Customers call the airship hanger to order items that they need. You must fulfil the orders and deliver their packages.
![customer calling osmo math wizard amazing airships](https://ourlittleescapades.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/customer-calling-osmo-math-wizard-amazing-airships.jpg)
Your job is to design an airship that is able to carry the boxes of cargo and complete the delivery. You will need to make sure that the airship can stay afloat on its journey. These designs can be worked out by using addition and subtraction equations.

What Does Little E Love About Math Wizard and The Amazing Airships?
Little E loves the characters in this OSMO game. She loves discovering who will phone up with an order for the airships.
![opening screen osmo math wizard amazing airships](https://ourlittleescapades.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/opening-screen-osmo-math-wizard-amazing-airships.jpg)
As with all OSMO games Amazing Airships talks you through how to play the game and what items you need to create the airships. Little E loves this and it really helps her understand how to play the game. Before she knew it she was working out the maths equations and enjoying it.
![little e placing box pieces](https://ourlittleescapades.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/little-e-placing-box-pieces-osmo-math-wizard-amazing-airships.jpg)
She even enjoys working out the challenges and doesn’t want any help at all.

With the airships complete and the orders on their way, Little E loves that you have to collect items on the way. It adds another dimension to the gameplay. Giving her a little break from the math.

What Do I Love About Math Wizard and The Amazing Airships?
Math was something we really struggled with when we had to do home learning with Little E. The pictures on the paper just weren’t helping her learn what she needed to. We all ended up getting really frustrated and there were lots of tears. With this OSMO game, it feels like all those issues have disappeared. Little E is working out maths equations that I thought she would need help with. I was being told off for trying to help her.
![airship example](https://ourlittleescapades.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/airship-example-osmo-math-wizard-amazing-airships.jpg)
Amazing Airships is for ages 6 to 8 and it perfectly suits Little E’s ability and level. She is asking to play this game every weekend and she enjoys playing it with us even if she doesn’t need our help. I’m so glad we got the chance to add this game to our OSMO collection*.
