Ecclesiastes – Baby Bible Lesson | Free Printable for Ages 0–2

Ecclesiastes 3:1–11

Trueway Baby Bible lesson for ages 0–2

About This Baby Bible Lesson

This free printable Baby Bible lesson gently introduces babies and toddlers to the Bible passage in Ecclesiastes 3 and the truth that God has a time for everything. Little ones begin to explore familiar rhythms such as laughing, resting, planting, growing, playing, eating, and sleeping while hearing that God is with us through every part of the day.

Through simple words, repeated actions, music, sensory play, and visual learning, little ones begin to learn one clear truth: God has a time for everything.

Designed especially for ages 0–2, this lesson focuses on connection, repetition, and early faith formation. Babies experience the Bible passage through movement, touch, simple signs, high-contrast cards, sensory play, and loving interaction.

The lesson presents ideas from Ecclesiastes through simple action cards, including pretending to write as King Solomon records what he learned, using the Time sign for “There is a time for everything,” laughing together, resting quietly, pretending to plant a seed, opening hands like a flower blooming, making an arm movement from sunrise to sunset, and finishing with a hug to remember that God is with us throughout the day.

The lesson also includes a Day and Night Scarves sensory activity. Babies and toddlers can touch bright scarves representing daytime and darker fabric representing nighttime while hearing about times to laugh, play, rest, and sleep.

Watch & Sing Along

“God Has a Time”

Optional tune: Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush

God has a time for everything,
Everything, everything.
God has a time for everything,
All through the day!
A time to laugh and a time to play,
Time to eat, time to sleep.
God has a time for everything,
He loves us every day!

Singing together supports bonding, rhythm, early language development, and repetition of the lesson’s key truth.

Parent Take-Home Connection

The parent take-home sheet reminds families that their child learned: There is a time for everything—to laugh, to rest, and to grow. God holds our time in His hands.

It includes simple home ideas such as Day and Night Peek-a-Boo, using a small blanket to explore times for laughing and resting, and Flower Watch, looking outside for a flower, leaf, or grass while remembering that God makes everything beautiful in its time. Families can also practise the Time sign and sing the lesson song during the week.
