Christmas is coming!

Seasons Greetings!
It's never too early to get set for Christmas.  Lots of shops have their Christmas displays set up.  I had a wander through the tree section in Farmers a few days ago - very festive.  I love Christmas - I think I must be a big kid at heart.  Anyway - I thought I would look in  the App. store using the iPad to see what Xmas apps might be around.  I just put 'Christmas' into the search box and loads of stuff came up.  Loads of it was free. I have downloaded 10 apps with a range of activities - many of these involve numeracy, literacy, hand eye co-ordination.  There were loads of apps to choose from - I could have downloaded many more but I'll give these a try first.
These are the 10 I have selected for now:

Twas the Night before Jaspers Christmas (book):
 
          
Christmas Songs:
 
Christmas Fun (various games):
 
Christmas Jigsaw Puzzle:
 
25 days to Xmas - Advent Calender:
 
Christmas Tale (book):
 
Christmas Piano:
 
Toca Hair Salon - Christmas Gift (cutting and styling Santa's hair + beard):
 
Talking Santa:
 
Christmas tree Holiday:
 

I tried to include something for every student in my class with these choices.
There are hundreds to choose from - let me know if you decide to try any out.  I'll let you know how my class get on with the apps above.
