Santa’s Sleigh Dash!

In this fabulously fun festive game, you must guide Santa to collect presents and then successfully deliver them down the chimneys.

Watch out for monsters in your path though, they’ll bring your sleigh ride to an abrupt halt!

NEW!! There are now 4 versions of our Santa’s Sleigh Dash game:

Santa’s Sleigh Dash The Original – great for developing concentration, coordination and for boosting self confidence!

Santa’s Sleigh Dash Words – match the presents you collect to the word descriptions on the chimneys for delivery.

Santa’s Sleigh Dash Mental maths – presents have numerical values, to deliver them you must choose which present solves the chimney’s equation.

Santa’s Sleigh Dash Colours and Shapes – presents come in all shapes and colours but make sure you deliver them to the right house!

Suitable for ages 3-11, in each version of the game you can change the activity settings dependent on the ability of your child.

Santa’s Sleigh Dash is also available as an app!

For only 99p our app includes all 4 versions of our fab festive game. Search for ‘Busy Things’ in your app store or click on the links below:

Please note, our festive apps are only available around Christmas time – don’t worry, not long left to go!…

Decorate a Christmas Tree

Whilst it may be that little bit too soon to get a real tree, you can enjoy decorating digital Christmas trees with the kids and add them to our snow scene.

Use stickers, stamps and brushes to create delightful designs!

Write a letter to Santa!

Children can let Santa know what they want for Christmas by writing and decorating a letter using our publishing tool.

You can then print it ready for sending to the North Pole – did you know you can send letters to Father Christmas via Royal Mail and get a reply?  Find out more!
