What Are the Best Bibles for Kids?

As parents, it can sometimes feel overwhelming to know how to best disciple our kids and teach them about Jesus. One of the most important tools we can use in this journey is the Bible, but with so many different translations and storybooks available, it can be hard to know which ones are the best fit for our kids’ age and understanding.

Here are some Bible options and tools to help you guide your kids closer to Jesus:

It’s never too early to start introducing kids to the Bible. In our nursery classrooms, we even have little pocket-sized Bibles for babies and toddlers to hug and love. These early moments help children understand that the Bible is something we treasure, and they begin to build a sense of reverence for it.

Great Bibles for Preschoolers

This is a classic favorite for preschool-aged kids. Its engaging stories and vibrant illustrations help little ones connect with biblical truths. This Bible is perfect for beginning to teach your children about God’s love and the important figures in the Bible.

For kids who enjoy a little extra interaction, this Bible storybook comes with an app that includes fun games and activities that tie in with the stories they read. It’s an excellent way to engage your kids with the Bible in a fun, hands-on way.

This Bible offers a humorous and lighthearted approach to teaching kids Bible stories. With a quiz at the end of each story, it’s a fun way to reinforce lessons and keep your kids engaged.

This Bible is colorful and full of fun pictures that kids love, making it more engaging for younger readers. The NIRV (New International Reader’s Version) is a great translation for kids because it uses simple language that’s easy for them to understand. It’s perfect for kids just starting to explore the Bible on their own.

Bibles for Kids Past the Storybook Phase

This is a great Bible for kids who are ready to dig a little deeper. It’s a more advanced option that still speaks to their age level, offering a smooth transition from picture Bibles to more structured reading.

This Bible is designed for kids who are ready to study the Bible a bit more seriously. It’s filled with activities and questions that encourage kids to engage with Scripture. It’s a great way to help your child begin to understand and apply God’s Word to their own lives.

The NLT is another excellent translation for kids. It’s easy to read and understand, making it ideal for children who are ready to move beyond simpler translations. The NLT maintains a good balance between readability and accuracy, so your kids can develop a deeper connection with Scripture.

More Fun Tools for Bible Learning

These tools are a great way to help kids interact with Bible stories in a creative way. You don’t have to limit them to just the stories from the Bible – use these search-and-find books to ask questions about God and his Word. It’s a wonderful way to get your children thinking more deeply about the Scriptures and applying them to their everyday lives.

These placemats help kids visualize the important concepts they’re learning from the Bible. By seeing the Ten Commandments in a fun, accessible format, children can start to understand their significance and place in God’s plan for us.

If your kids enjoy fantasy, The Wingfeather Saga is a fantastic option. Similar to The Chronicles of Narnia, this series includes biblical undertones woven into a fantastical story. There’s also a show based on the books, so your kids can enjoy the story in different formats.

There are so many resources available today to help bring your kids closer to Jesus. Whether through colorful Bibles, engaging storybooks, or interactive tools, there’s something out there that can help your child connect with God’s Word in a meaningful and lasting way. The key is finding resources that resonate with your child’s age and stage of faith, so that you can walk alongside them in their journey to know Jesus better.
