PopOut! The Night Before Christmas
by Loud Crow Interactive
The Night Before Christmas presents the famous poem as an app that makes you feel like you are cozying up by the fireplace. Loud Crow has used William Denslow’s illustrations which gives everything a classic feel. The app includes a piano rendition of “O Christmas Tree” while the narrator reads the story with full word highlighting. An option to turn off narration is also available, so kids, or adults, can read the poem themselves. The illustrations are interactive — images can be moved, or jiggled, and many will make a sound (which can distract somewhat from the story). Many pages also include pull tabs, or turn wheels, to reveal more parts of a picture, or to animate the scene. The Night Before Christmas is a holiday classic, and Loud Crow’s app certainly does it justice.
Christmas Tree Decorations: Hidden Objects
by Abosolutist Ltd
Christmas Tree Decorations is a hidden object game for kids. The app presents a colourful and busy Christmas scene, and kids can scroll around and find certain decorations within the scene. It isn’t as difficult as typical hidden object games, but younger kids may still want help from an adult. Once all the objects are found, kids get an ornament with which to decorate their own Christmas tree, and move on to the next scene.
