Osmo Pizza Co. Helps Teach Children About Business and Finance
Augmented reality isn’t just for catching Pokémon around the neighborhood. Osmo has made a name for itself by combining an iPad along with real-world play and learning. And its newest game – Osmo Pizza Co. – is all about entrepreneurship and learning more about finances.
- Teaches financial literacy, emotional intelligence, and applied math.
- A fun way to combine real-world and digital play.
- Who doesn’t love pizza, even the play variety?

Using the iPad, kids will need to keep hungry animal customers happy and the shop going strong. Some of the skills taught in the game include financial literacy, emotional intelligence, and applied math.

Both of my children really love the Osmo Pizza Co. system and ask to play one of the educational games almost every day. Pizza Co. looks to continue the tradition of previous games from the company that truly teach children while they are having fun.
