About This Baby Bible Lesson

This free printable Trueway Baby Bible lesson gently introduces babies and toddlers to the Bible passage in Matthew 28:1–10, where Jesus died and came back to life on the third day .

Through repetition, movement, music, and sensory exploration, little ones begin to understand one simple truth:

Jesus is alive.

Designed especially for ages 0–2, this lesson focuses on calm interaction, connection, and early faith formation. Babies experience the Bible passage through simple phrases, gentle actions, and hands-on play in a safe and loving environment.

The lesson helps children begin to understand the joy of Easter—that Jesus is alive, He loves us, and this is the best news ever.
