Toddler's Bibles for children 2 to 4 years

Toddler’s Bibles are designed and written for children of ages 2 to 4. For the under 3s there are baby’s Bibles and for older children a range of Bibles for the school years, teens and for young adults.

A colourful Bible with simple stories simply told makes for a time of sharing for adults and children and the start a lifelong love of Bible reading. Toddler’s Bibles are written and illustrated not just for the child aged 2 to 4 but for the parent, relative, teacher or other adult to share in these early encounters with the greatest stories ever gathered into one book.

Choosing a Toddler’s Bible

Toddler's Bibles have to share shelf space with other children’s books. Choose a Bible that looks as interesting as the other books clamouring for a child’s attention. A toddler’s Bible has to be robust a yet easy for small hands to hold and use.

For younger toddlers, choose a Bible with board covers and pages that wipe clean. Some editions have padded, soft covers and rounded corners. For some children, a toddler’s Bible might have to provide more than words and pictures. Many new editions of the Bible for toddlers include puzzles and other activities to engage their lively young minds.

Reading a Toddler’s Bible

A bright, attractive cover is a good start to choosing a Bible that will become a loved and valued possession. To make sure the Bible doesn’t stay on the shelf, choose one with large clear print. Short sentences and simple words are easy for early readers to follow and for adults to read aloud.

Young readers often follow the text with their finger and grown ups may help by pointing out the words. Choose a toddler’s Bible with enough space for a child to place a finger beneath the line of text. Remember that children grow and change quickly. Don’t leave them with a Bible they outgrew long ago. Be ready to replace their Bible with a more grown up version as they become ready.
