New for Christmas

Send a letter to Santa

Take a photo of your child's letter to Santa and they watch it fly to the North Pole. Every wish, spelling and all, ends up as a real gift on a list the whole family can see.

  1. 1 Take a photo of the letter, crayon and glitter included
  2. 2 Check what we read and fix anything we got wrong
  3. 3 Pick the gifts and add them to their list in one go
Send a letter to Santa Open until Christmas Eve, free as always
