About This Baby Bible Lesson

This free printable Trueway Baby Bible lesson gently introduces babies and toddlers to the Bible account of Jesus and Nicodemus in John 3:1–21. Through simple words, repetition, movement, and sensory experiences, little ones begin to learn that God loves the world.

Using soft night imagery, gentle actions, music, and visual contrast, this lesson helps babies experience the truth that God’s love is big, safe, and for everyone. The focus is not on complex ideas, but reassurance — God loves the world, and God loves me.

Designed especially for ages 0–2, this lesson supports early faith formation through calm, relational, and joy-filled interactions led by trusted adults.

Bible Focus

“God loves the world.”

Through gentle repetition, simple signs, and loving actions, babies begin to connect the word love with God’s presence. Over time, repeated exposure helps children associate God’s Word with safety, comfort, and belonging.

Watch & Sing Along

This lesson includes a simple action song set to a familiar tune (“Row, Row, Row Your Boat”), encouraging joyful repetition through sound, movement, and visual engagement.

The lesson includes a simple action song based on John 3:16:

For God so loved the world,
(Reach up)
He sent His only Son,
(Pretend to give something)
Believe in Him, believe in Him,
(Point to heart)
Life for everyone!
(Stretch arms wide)

Singing together strengthens attachment and helps babies associate joy and rhythm with Bible truth.
