Does your child still believe? Maybe you even believe just a little. We are talking about Santa of course. My daughter is 8 and as far as I know she still believes in Santa. Even with two older brothers she still gets excited about Santa and his reindeer. In fact, she may even get more excited about the thought of the reindeer. Recently we purchased some fun Santa products from PNP (Portable North Pole) that were just amazing. Today we had a chance to experience another PNP product the Portable North Pole’s Mobile App
Portable North Pole’s Mobile App
Portable North Pole offers iOS and Android users an application to create Christmas magic on their mobile devices. The newly updated PNP app includes: credit to create and access premium videos, call from Santa himself, an Advent Calendar game, Christmas Radar, Countdown game and access to a PNP account to synchronize with your online content.
I had the chance to check out all the details and what this app (Retail: $3.99 for iOS and Android; $4.99 HD app for iPad and iPad mini) could do. I downloaded it to my iPhone but I think I’m going to download it on the iPad as well. This is a really fun app and has daily content to keep your child intrigued.
I think my favorite is the Advent Calendar. There are fun things to do and see each day such as coloring pages, videos, puzzles, and more. Each day is like opening a new present you never know what you are going to find.
Portable North Pole Advent Calendar
Each video you watch is saved for future viewing. This is great so you don’t have to remember what day had the videos.
You and your child can full Santa Christmas Eve as he and his reindeer deliver presents to all the boys and girls of the world with the Santa Radar. There is also a Christmas countdown that will tell you exactly how many days, hours, and minutes until the big day! As a parent you also will have access to some special premium videos and even schedule a call from Santa using the credits you receive when you purchase the app.
We also had some fun play Santa Sprint which is another app by Portable North Pole. This is app is a game!
This unique Christmas adventure game, for iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod), provides hours of fun for the whole family. Guided by the voice of Santa, kids can help him get ready for Christmas and unlock exclusive video stories as they complete the different levels.
One of the first things I noticed and loved about this game is you don’t need to “read” the directions. Don’t get me wrong I strongly encourage reading, however I love to hear Santa pop up and tell you what you need to do to reach the next level. In fact, right now while I’m writing my daughter is playing Santa Sprint. She has started to encounter some other fun aspects of the game including power ups like hot chocolate and Santa’s sack of toys. You can even change the elf’s clothes!
We have been very impressed with both the physical products and virtual products offered by Portable North Pole. We encourage you to follow them on one or more of their social media channels.

I think anticipation is the best part! The sooner you get started the better and these apps look great. No better way to keep ’em busy. I’m just amazed at all the new techie things coming out now.

I can remember when my son was little and how much fun it was to watch him wait and watch and listen! I have a 4 year old niece that would adore this app. I am forwarding this right now! Thanks for the heads up!
