About This Baby Bible Lesson

This free printable Trueway Baby Bible lesson gently introduces babies and toddlers to the Bible account of Jesus calling His first disciples in Luke 5:1–11.

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

Designed especially for ages 0–2, this lesson focuses on connection, calm interaction, and joyful engagement. Babies experience the account through simple phrases, actions, and hands-on sensory play that help build early faith foundations in a safe and loving environment.

How This Lesson Works

Trueway Baby lessons are short, gentle, and repeatable. Sessions are baby-led and flexible, allowing caregivers to respond to cues with warmth and reassurance.

Each session includes:

• One simple spoken key phrase: “Follow Jesus.”
• A gentle action song (“Come and Follow Me” – optional tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
• One clear sign language action (“Come”)
• A safe sensory play activity (“Squishy Fish Bags”)
• High-contrast visual cards (fish, net, boat, footprints – see pages 2–3)
• Simple action picture cards retelling the Bible account (pages 4–7)
• A short, calming prayer

On page 1, the lesson introduces the key phrase, song, sensory activity, and sign.
Pages 4–7 provide simple action cards with short phrases like “Jesus said, ‘Follow Me’” and “We can follow Jesus too!”
Page 8 includes a parent take-home sheet with simple at-home ideas.

Everything is designed for repetition, security, and joyful interaction.

Watch & Sing Along

This lesson includes a simple action song:

“Come and Follow Me”
(Optional tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)

Row, row, row the boat,
Gently out to sea.
Jesus calls to everyone,
“Come and follow Me!”

Throw, throw, throw the net,
Throw it in the sea.
Trust in Jesus, He is good,
His promises He will keep.

Singing encourages rhythm, bonding, and memory through repetition.
