A Family. A Dream.
A Drop in the Ocean.
Little Drops of Water® began as one young girl's curiosity about the saints — and grew into something far bigger than any of us imagined.
Born from a question
a child dared to ask
Hi, I’m Anna, and I’m the founder of Little Drops of Water. I’m twenty-four now, but this story starts when I was about twelve years old, sitting at the kitchen table asking my parents everything I could about the saints. Who were they, what did they do, why did their lives matter so much? I wanted to understand them, not just believe in them, and I couldn’t find anything that spoke to kids like me in a way that felt genuinely alive and joyful.
When my little brother Thomas was born in 2012, something in me just clicked. I wanted him to grow up knowing these incredible people of faith as friends and heroes rather than distant figures in old paintings, so in August 2014, with my dad by my side, I launched Little Drops of Water. We started with hand-drawn illustrations of the saints and brought them to Thomas’s classroom, and watching the children light up with questions was the moment we knew we were onto something real.
More than a decade later, those first little drawings have grown into a full collection of carefully designed plush dolls, miniature statues, rosaries, and keepsakes, and I’m still driven by the exact same question I had at twelve years old. How do we make faith feel alive and close and joyful for the people we love? I think the answer is the same as it always was. One little drop at a time.
"We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop."— St. Teresa of Calcutta

Faith is best passed on
through wonder
Every child deserves to meet Jesus, Mary, and the saints not as obligations, but as companions for life. That's what drives everything we make.
For Every Family
Whether it's a soft plush saint for a child's arms or a hand-painted Touchable™ for the family altar, we design for every moment of faith — accessible, joyful, and beautifully made.
Made with Intention
Every product we create starts with a question: does this help a child connect? From the first sketch to the final coat of paint, intention and craftsmanship guide every step.
A Mission That Travels
What started in one classroom in 2014 now reaches families, parishes, and schools across more than 20 countries. Our mission has always been the same — we're just covering more ocean.
Over 800 designs.
Each one hand-painted.
What began with Anna's early sketches of the saints has grown into a full creative studio. Today, our in-house design team develops every concept — from the initial character illustration to the painting specifications and packaging — before our skilled artisans bring each piece to life by hand.
Our catalogue spans both Catholic and secular collections, and includes two distinct product families: our Touchables — hand-painted figurines, snowglobes, money banks, magnets, and rosaries designed to be displayed and treasured — and our Plush Saints, fully certified toys made for little hands. Two different experiences, both made with the same love.
