About This Baby Bible Lesson

This free printable Trueway Baby Bible lesson gently introduces babies and toddlers to the Bible account of Jesus healing and forgiving the paralysed man in Mark 2:1–12.

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

Jesus makes me well.

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.

Action Song

“The Friends on the Roof”
(Tune: The Wheels on the Bus)

The friends on the roof dug a hole,
Dug a hole, dug a hole…
To help their friend meet Jesus.

The man on the mat went down, down, down…
To get to Jesus.

Jesus said, “Get up and walk!”
He healed the man!

Music encourages bonding, rhythm development, and joyful repetition.
