Hello Mamas!
I’m so excited to be sharing this. I’ve been digging into the word daily, even with kids. Since I’ve shared this I frequently get ask how I do it. There are a lot of times that I study when they are napping or playing outside with J, but our reality is that we’re together and sometimes “quiet time” isn’t possible. That led to me including them. Whatever I’m learning about, I want to share with them. I hope that they have all this biblical knowledge way before they’re 30.
I want them to see this as part of our everyday. That talking about how God creates and blesses and gives grace is every second of every single day. But me just reading my bible or talking about what I read isn’t really interesting to a couple of young boys. So I have to me more intentional. And I want you to do the same and I’m praying that these little ideas and things can help encourage you to dig in and learn with your littles.
So here it is, the first little Mama & Littles Bible Study. This idea is ever growing and evolving; and I pray that you love it!
Giving myself grace because I feel like I had so much to share but also realized that this is the first. I didn’t want to overwhelm myself or you. This little PDF includes a memory verse card for you and one for your littles, color sheets, fish printable for a game, and notes on the scripture you’ll read. The bottom of this post includes a list of links for ideas and tons of resources you might need – include the Jesus Storybook Bible story to go with your scripture, Veggietale music, and a Pinterest board filled with ideas.
Through this study, you can learn but have fun and spend quality time storing God’s word in your heart and mind. I hope this blesses you and I can’t wait for feedback (hopefully good) and to create more.
Activities
Color sheet fish + pipe cleaners // Have littles color fish. You cut them out, punch a hole, and lace a pipe cleaner through the hole like it’s a hook. Bend another pipe cleaner to use as a fishing pole and try to “catch” the fish. You can use letters and/or numbers to have them catch certain things also.
Color sheet // Coloring with the option to learn tracing letters of the memory verse.

If you have any feedback, I’d love to hear it. Any requests for a specific scripture to study with your kids? I’d also love to know what you’d like to learn about!!
Love this idea and the craft is adorable!
I LOVE this!!! I can’t wait to use it with my four year old.
This is sooo cool! This is way better than just reading a Bible story at bed time like we usually do!!
You are so creative!
How creative! What an exciting way to engage your kids on a level they will not only understand but peak their interest and keep them entertained.
How awesome! My son will often ask about Noah’s Ark. I’ve never thought to do it in art form! Great read!
What a great idea for a craft for kids and to teach them the Bible at the same time! Thanks for the idea!
I love how you included the craft to go with the lesson. Makes it so much more fun for little ones and to understand the versus for their age. Great job mom.
This is a great project, thanks for sharing this idea!
I LOVE this so much! I”m saving to do with my son soon! Thank you so much for sharing!
