The Woman at the Well – Baby Bible Lesson | Free Printable for Ages 0–2

John 4:1–42

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 John 4:1–42, where Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well. Through simple words, repeated actions, high-contrast visuals, music, and sensory play, little ones begin to learn one clear truth: Jesus is my friend.

Designed especially for ages 0–2, this lesson focuses on connection, repetition, and early faith formation. Babies experience the Bible passage through movement, sound, touch, facial expression, and loving interaction—helping them discover that Jesus knows them, loves them, and welcomes everyone to come to Him.

The lesson introduces The Woman at the Well through simple action cards, including Jesus resting by the well, the woman coming to collect water, Jesus asking for a drink, the woman waiting for God’s special King, Jesus revealing who He is, and the woman excitedly telling others about Him. Through these repeated interactions, babies begin to associate Jesus with friendship, love, and welcome.

The lesson also includes a “Splash Water” sensory activity, where babies move blue ribbons, fabric strips, or pom-poms into a bucket while hearing about the water Jesus spoke about. This simple hands-on activity helps reinforce the lesson theme through movement, colour, and repetition while keeping the environment safe and age appropriate.

Watch & Sing Along

“Jesus by the Well”

(Optional Tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

Jesus by the well,
Jesus by the well,
Jesus met a woman there,
Jesus by the well.

He asked her for a drink,
“Please give Me some water,”

He told her, “I give life,”
“Living water from above,”

She ran to tell the town,
“Come and see the One I met!”

Singing together supports bonding, rhythm, and early language development while reinforcing the key truth of the lesson.

Parent Take-Home Connection

The parent take-home sheet reminds families that their child learned: Jesus is our best friend who knows us and loves us.

It also includes simple at-home activities such as “Jesus Knows You,” where parents point to their child’s nose, eyes, and toes while reminding them that Jesus knows everything about them, and “Found You Toy Hunt,” where a hidden toy is discovered while connecting the activity to the woman looking for God’s King and finding Jesus.

These simple activities help parents continue the Bible lesson naturally through play, repetition, and everyday connection.
