Santa Tracking

We’re getting very close to Christmas now and for good little boys and girls everywhere, the waiting can be pretty hard. That’s where a bunch of kid friendly websites and apps can help you share the excitement with your kids. Let me offer up some fun Santa tracking tools.

Once again this year, the NORAD folks and their Santa Tracking site is counting down the days to Christmas. As you watch the days go by your can play games in an interactive Christmas Village. On the big night, the site offers animations and real time tracking of the delivery sleigh. And new this year, through interactive maps provided by Google,  the Santa tracking site can be accessed through the iPhone and on Android phones.

Northpole.com is another fun website.  Your kids can visit Santa’s workshop, Mrs. Claus’s’ kitchen and the Toy Shop.  There are all sorts of games and stories you can browse.

And for just plain fun, try  Instant Santa, a very funny holiday app for the iPhone or iPad. The app allows users to create a modified image that shows Santa in any photo. Users can take funny photos of Santa in different poses in their homes, offices, or anywhere they can think of.
