Bible stories for toddlers and preschoolers
Young kids do best with short stories that have one clear idea, like the first Christmas or Jesus calming a storm. Our stories are written for ages 3 to 7. With a child under 3, read together and tell the longer parts in your own words.
We make Bible Stories for Kids, and these stories are from our library. You can read them free on this site.
For 2 and 3 year olds
Start with these. Point at the pictures, say one simple line, and stop when they lose interest.
