The Osmo Monster app helps kids bring their [drawings to life](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle2life). To use the app, an [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawww) needs to be connected to a stand and the dry erase board. Kids are then asked to draw a specific item by the mascot who is named 'Mo.' The items will become part of the story that is created. Kids interact with the game through a [question and answer-style format](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sketch-it) and can save their artwork to the gallery. The game has a "magic show" activity for kids to interact with and the kit comes with the dry erase board and markers to be used. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Digital Reality Drawing:** Opportunity for creating more interactive and educational drawing experiences for children. - **Interactive Educational Games:** Opportunity for developing more interactive educational games that incorporate digital reality technology. - **Personalized Digital Storytelling:** Opportunity for creating more personalized digital storytelling experiences that allow children to bring their own artwork to life. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Education Technology:** The development of more interactive and personalized educational software and games using digital reality technology. - **Children's Toy and Game:** Opportunity for creating more interactive and engaging toys and games that allow children to bring their own creativity to playtime. - **Digital Art and Animation:** Opportunity for creating new software and tools that make it easier for children to create animated artwork and bring it to life with digital reality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Kids Drawing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-coloring-drawing-book-app.md) - [Portable Drawing Tablets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-projector-for-kids.md) - [Creative Kid's Drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joyful-outlines.md) - [AI-Fueled Digital Art Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawww.md) - [Augmented Reality Educational Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-educational-app.md) - [AI-Powered Drawing game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodle-play.md) - [Interactive Digital Math Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osmo-math-wizard-and-the-magical-workshop.md) - [AI Coloring Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splat.md) - [AI Kids Coloring Pages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/SPLAT-1.md)
