How a printable Bible story book works
- Pick. Choose a story and an edition. The coloring edition is the same book in clean line art.
- Print. Any home or church printer, regular Letter paper. Low ink uses about a third of the ink.
- Fold and staple. Fold the stack once, two staples on the fold. Read it, then talk about it.
Teachers and grandparents: gift a year of bedtime books to a family, paid once, with a printable certificate.
Questions parents and teachers ask
- Are these Bible stories free to print?
- Yes. Three library books are free for life with a Storyfold account, in all three editions, no card needed. Family Reader adds 3 new books every month for $5.
- Do they follow the Bible?
- Each book retells one passage for ages 2 to 6, seen through the eyes of a child: a shepherd boy, a fisherman's son, a girl in the crowd, a boy with a lunch basket. Those children are imagined companions for young readers; what Jesus says and does stays with the Gospel account. The verse reference is on the last page with a Talk together question.
- Can I print them for a Sunday school class?
- Yes, print as many copies as your family or class needs. The low ink edition is the one for a stack of 20, and the coloring edition keeps a class busy while you read.
- What ages are they for?
- Most are written for ages 2 to 5, The Boy with Five Loaves and Jesus Calms the Storm for 4 to 6. Each card shows the age band.
- How do I turn the PDF into a book?
- Print on regular Letter paper, double sided if you can. Stack the pages in order, fold the stack once, and put two staples on the fold.
