We live in a digital world; one where kids reach for their parent’s smartphone or tablet to play games rather than going outside to play. Luckily today there are plenty of entertaining and educational apps for kids that keep their curious minds and fingers busy while also teaching them Christian principles.
Good Christian Chat have chosen three apps to feature today during this time of lock-down and isolation. It is an opportunity to bond, educate and enjoy each other while making the most of the time indoors.
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6
