Little Saint Adventures

Parents are their children's first teachers in the faith, and the early years matter. Young children learn through play, stories and pictures far more than through explanations. A good faith app can't replace a parent's voice, but it can give little ones a joyful, Catholic place to spend some screen time.

What children find inside

Little Saint Adventures is designed to engage children aged 3 to 8 and teach them the Faith. It offers more than 40 games, Bible stories and activities, gathered into themed adventures. The Bible stories are illustrated and narrated, with interactive elements so children can take part rather than just watch. The games are designed so young children can find their way around on their own, which means less hovering for parents.

It is clearly made by people who care about passing on the Catholic faith, and that makes it different from the many general Bible games in the App Store.

Price and practicalities

This is a paid app at $8.99. On top of that, the store lists add-on worlds at $1.99 each, such as Nazareth Village, Sailing in Galilee, My Parish Family and Frassati Peak, along with a $12.99 Full Access option. It's worth checking exactly what the base price includes before buying, and keeping purchase settings locked on a child's device.

It hasn't been updated since March 2023, so it may not take full advantage of newer devices, and at nearly 340 MB it needs a good amount of storage. It holds a 4.4 rating from 72 ratings, which is solid.

Little Saint Adventures suits Catholic families with preschool and early primary children, grandparents looking for something wholesome for visits, and catechists working with the youngest age groups. It is one of the more thoughtfully Catholic options for this age range. Go in aware of the add-on costs, and it can be a happy part of your child's first steps in faith.
