Best 20 Bible Story Printables for Sunday School Kids

I have a basket on top of the fridge that I call the Sunday Basket. Spare crayons, a glue stick I’ve replaced three times this month, and whatever printables I downloaded last week at eleven p.m. because I suddenly remembered I had class in the morning. That’s my system. Three kids — eight, six, and three — and a husband who runs the youth group, so the Bible is basically ambient noise in this house, which I think is the right kind of noise. I sub for little-kids Sunday school whenever Ms. Karen needs a break, which she is not shy about asking for. Between home and class, I go through a lot of paper.

What I’ve learned after two years of printing things and handing them to children: line weight matters more than pretty colors, big text saves you a lot of explaining, and anything with more than four tiny pieces will end up in someone’s juice cup. The 16 picks below are the ones that actually made it through both tests — surviving my kitchen table on a Saturday and surviving twelve other people’s kids who have, without fail, already eaten their snack before class even starts.

Prayer Jar Labels That Actually Fit a Mason Jar Lid

We started a prayer jar in Sunday school after a lesson on 1 Thessalonians 5:17 — “pray without ceasing” — and I needed something the kids could write on without it looking like scrap paper. This set comes with clean label art that fits a standard wide-mouth lid when you trim it down. The font is big enough for a first-grader to read back later. Honest note: the PDF doesn’t include a cutting guide, so you’re eyeballing the trim — fine for home, slightly chaotic when you’re making twelve of them for class. Print on white cardstock, not regular paper. Regular paper warps as soon as anyone’s hands are slightly damp, which with these kids is always.

Jesus the Way the Truth the Life Verse Art for the Wall

John 14:6 in an embroidery-style graphic — we printed this 8×10 for the Sunday school room and laminated it. It’s been up three months and nobody has tried to peel it off, which is my benchmark for success. The lettering is bold enough to read from across a small room. Nora, my three-year-old, points at it and says “Jesus” every time, which is partly the graphic and partly because she just says “Jesus” a lot. One flaw: the background has a very subtle texture that drops out if you print on anything less than 24lb paper. On standard printer paper it looks a little flat. Still usable, but worth knowing before you commit to a whole stack.

Jesus Crocheting Clip Art for a Lighthearted Craft Day

This one is genuinely funny and I mean that as a compliment. Jesus with a crochet hook. My eight-year-old, Micah, asked me why Jesus was knitting and I said that was a great theological question and also it’s crocheting. We used it as a discussion starter about rest and creativity, and it worked better than I expected. It is not a verse printable — it’s clipart for crafts, cards, bulletin boards. The line art is crisp enough to print at small sizes for sticker sheets. Don’t try to use this as a serious coloring page for little kids; the detail is too fine. Best for older kids making something with it, or for the teacher who wants to make a funny handout.

Easter Christian SVG Bundle With Cross and Egg Hunt Designs

I downloaded this in January for an Easter unit and got more out of it than I expected. The bundle mixes overtly Christian crosses with egg-hunt clip art, which sounds odd but actually lets you do one craft that bridges both. We made bookmarks — cross on one side, Easter egg on the other. The SVG files are clean and resize without going fuzzy, which matters when you’re printing both a big poster and small take-home cards from the same file. Fair warning: you need a program that opens SVG files to use them fully. I use the free Inkscape. If you want straight-to-printer, stick to the preview JPGs the listing includes, but those are lower resolution.

Christian Cross SVG Bundle Religious for Versatile Craft Projects

Fourteen cross variations in one download. Simple outlines, ornate fills, a rugged wooden-beam style, a Celtic knot version. Micah used the plain outline cross for a watercolor resist project — crayon the lines, then watercolor over it, and the wax repels the paint. Came out beautiful. The three-year-old used the same file printed at full-page size as a coloring sheet and was occupied for eleven minutes, which is roughly her limit. One thing I’d flag: a few of the more ornate designs have very thin lines that disappear on a home inkjet at normal print quality. Print at “high” or “best” setting if you want the detail to show.

Christian Cross SVG Bundle Faith With Bold Scripture Lettering

Similar bundle to the Religious one above but these lean toward script lettering paired with the cross shapes — phrases like “Have Faith” worked into the design. Better for framing or room decor than for coloring. I used two of these for the Sunday school room: printed on cardstock, put in cheap frames from the dollar section. Took maybe fifteen minutes and looked intentional. The downside is the letter strokes are thin and decorative, so coloring them requires a fine-tip marker, not crayons. Theo, my six-year-old, tried with a crayon and turned it into a very enthusiastic abstract painting. That was also fine, honestly. Know your use case before you print a stack.

Faith Journaling Stamp Collection for Bible Study Crafts

This one is aimed more at older kids and adults doing Bible journaling — illustrated stamps you can print, cut, and actually stamp with an ink pad if you mount them on foam. I use these for a small group of the older Sunday school kids who like journal-style Bible study. Not a coloring page. The art is detailed and the margins are tight, so you need reasonably sharp scissors or a craft knife to cut them cleanly. My six-year-old tried cutting one and it looked like it had been through a paper shredder. For ages 9 and up doing real journaling, though, this is a genuinely useful set — covers prayer prompts, verse banners, and small decorative elements.

Walk by Faith Not Sight Verse Printable With Clean Typography

2 Corinthians 5:7. One of those verses I want on the wall and also want the kids to memorize, so having a printable that works for both is useful. This one is text-forward — the verse in large, readable script — with minimal illustration around it. I printed it as a coloring page by converting to grayscale first; it worked fine because the lettering is thick enough to trace with a crayon. In Sunday school we used it as a take-home card: printed 4-up on a sheet, cut into quarters. Fast, zero prep. The file is a JPEG, not a vector, so don’t try to blow it up past about 8×10 — the edges get soft. At 5×7 it’s clean.

Rise Up and Pray Luke Verse Art for Kids to Color

Luke 22:46 — “Rise and pray” — in a bold hand-lettered style with small illustrated elements around the edges. The letters are fat enough that even Nora can color inside them with some guidance. We did this one on a Wednesday night when the kids were supposed to be winding down, which obviously didn’t happen, but at least they were coloring a verse about prayer. The border illustrations are small and fiddly — a cross, some clouds, small stars — and they’re the weak point for little kids. My solution: print and then just circle the big letters and tell them those are the important parts. They ignore the small stuff anyway. Works well as a memory verse card at 4×6.

Rejoice in the Lord Verse Printable With Bold Floral Border

Philippians 4:4. “Rejoice in the Lord always.” My Sunday school class did a whole month on joy and we came back to this printable three different times in different formats — once as a coloring page, once printed small as a bookmark, once traced onto construction paper for a bulletin board display. That’s the test of a good file: you can reuse it without it getting boring. The floral border around the verse is detailed but not so tiny it’s annoying to color. My one complaint is the file comes as a single JPEG — no layered version, so you can’t easily isolate just the text. If you want text-only, you’re cropping in a photo editor.

Pray Big Printable Verse Card for Sunday School Take-Home

Short. Punchy. Two words the kids actually remember on Monday. “Pray Big.” I don’t know the original source verse this designer had in mind, but in class I paired it with Matthew 21:22 — “whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” The graphic has the text large and bold with a simple illustration behind it. Printed at index-card size, cut down, sent home in backpacks. About half of them made it home uncrushed. I consider that a victory. The illustration behind the text is light — more of a watermark style — which means the text stays readable even on color copies. Good for printing on colored paper too, which the kids like picking themselves.

Joy Comes in the Morning Psalm Printable With Sunrise Art

Psalm 30:5. We did this one for a Sunday school lesson on hope after hard things — simplified for a six-year-old level, which meant I talked about bad days and how morning feels different. The sunrise illustration is simple and reads well even at half a sheet. Nora colored the sun yellow and then colored over the yellow with orange and then with red and told me it was “very hot.” So the illustration held up to some abuse. The verse text is small compared to the graphic — that’s my main note. If you’re making this a memory verse coloring page, zoom in on the text section when you print, or the letters are a little tight for crayon work. The overall visual is warm and the kids respond to it.

God Is With Me I Will Not Fail Printable Verse for Kids

The title on the listing has a typo — “withim” instead of “within” — but the actual graphic file has the correct text, so don’t let that scare you off. “God is within me, I will not fail” from Psalm 46:5. Bold block letters, simple enough that my three-year-old can recognize it’s words even if she can’t read them yet, and she traces the letters with her finger while I read it to her. I printed this on yellow cardstock for a class on God’s presence and it looked cheerful and intentional. The downside: no coloring version, just the final art. You can desaturate it in any photo editor to make a black-and-white coloring page, which I did. Takes two minutes.

For With God Nothing Is Impossible Luke Verse Printable

Luke 1:37. One of the first verses Micah memorized — eight years old, and he can still rattle it off, which I credit partly to doing this printable about four times in different projects. The design is clean and bulletin-board ready: white background, strong lettering, no fussy decoration that dates it. I’ve used it as a coloring page, a room sign, a journal cover. The file is a JPEG so again, 8×10 is the safe maximum print size before the edges soften. At 5×7, crisp. I’ll also say: this one photographs well if you’re making a memory-verse wall and want to document it. The composition is balanced enough that a phone photo looks decent.

Christian Fruit of the Spirit Bundle Covering All Nine Attributes

Galatians 5:22-23. Nine illustrations, one per fruit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control — each with the word and a corresponding fruit illustration. We turned this into a nine-week Sunday school series, one attribute per week. The kids colored one page per class and we built a bulletin board that went all the way to October. The illustrations are clear and each one reads as its own standalone piece. One honest issue: “self-control” has the smallest, most detailed illustration of the nine — harder for little hands. Swap the order and save it for when the kids have had a few weeks of practice coloring. The other eight are very manageable.

Christian Faith Alphabet Clipart for Scripture Letter Crafts

Twenty-six letters, each one illustrated with a faith-related image — A for angel, B for Bible, and so on. I printed the whole alphabet and let Micah and Theo each pick their initials to color. That was an easy fifteen-minute activity with zero prep and they were both engaged because it was “their” letter. The clipart is detailed enough for older kids to appreciate and simple enough that the three-year-old can color the big shapes even if she ignores the small details. One thing: this is clipart, not coloring sheets — the letters come with color fills in the original file. You’ll need to print in grayscale or open the file and remove the fills if you want coloring pages. Worth the extra step.

A Few Last Thoughts

Sixteen printables sounds like a lot, but if you’re running Sunday school through multiple seasons and also trying to keep three kids busy on a Tuesday afternoon, you’ll cycle through them faster than you think. I keep a folder on my desktop called “Sunday Basket Digital” and I dump everything in there the moment I download it. Otherwise I’m searching my email at 10:47 on a Saturday night, which I have done more than once.

A few things I’ve noticed after actually using these: print at 100% scale, not “fit to page” — some of the verse art gets weirdly squished otherwise. And if you’re handing these to a class, card stock makes a noticeable difference for anything the kids are supposed to take home. Regular printer paper gets crumpled in a backpack by minute three. My six-year-old, Theo, treats everything like origami whether I want him to or not.

If one thing on this list saves you one panicked Saturday-night search, that’s enough. My daughter Nora, the three-year-old, held up a finished coloring page last week and said “I made God.” Technically it was a cross clipart. But I’m keeping that one on the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Bible story printables are included for Sunday school?

These cover well-known Bible stories in formats kids engage with, like sequence cards, coloring scenes, and activity sheets that retell the narrative. Tying the printable to the day's story helps the lesson stay with kids through the week. A mix of formats keeps a class of different learners engaged.

How do I prep Bible story printables for a class?

Print the sheets ahead of time, on cardstock for any cards meant to be reused, and laminate the pieces you want to bring back week after week. Pre-sorting into per-child sets makes class morning smooth. Printing a couple of extras covers surprise visitors.

Can I reuse these printables across multiple weeks or classes?

Yes, since you keep the PDF you can reprint stories as your lessons cycle through them. Laminated story cards can be reused indefinitely with different groups. Personal and single-classroom use is the standard license, so reprinting for your own class is exactly what they are for.
