Want to put a little bit more magic into Christmas this year? In this fun Christmas app for kids, your child can chat to elves and write a letter or draw a picture and send it to Santa. First, your child can choose which of Santa’s favourite elves they would like to chat to. They can choose from: Sparky: Head of Toy Making Minty: Head Reindeer Trainer Ribbon: Head of Santa’s post office Bubbles: Head Party Planner Once your child has chosen their elf, they can then start chatting to them. But what happens if my child wants to change the elf they are speaking to? Not to worry - they can change their elf in the Settings page. After chatting with the elf, kids can then choose whether they want to send a nice letter or a Christmassy drawing to Santa. If they choose a drawing, your kids can get creative by changing the background of the picture, add stickers of Christmas characters and draw in lots of different colours. Once you send to Santa, he will write a response based on the answers to the questions the elf asked your child while they were chatting. Santa's reply will appear in your letterbox immediately, so you don't have to wait! It's magic! A maximum of 5 children can send a letter or drawing to Santa.
