I was giving a message

Father Christmas by the way if you’re watching me please don’t put me on the naughty list. I just wanna explain something can you make it so on the video calls we end the calls instead of Santa just ends it all the time I was trying to tell him a gift I wanted this year. No offence though I know Santa was busy but still I didn’t wanna tell him what gift I wanted this year

The studio

Not a factory. A workshop.

We're a small team who believe children's apps deserve the same care as the stories and gifts they come alongside. Every app we make is something we'd put in our own kids' hands first.

Based on the South Coast of England, operating quietly through the year and loudly at Christmas.
