Do your kids know how to navigate the library of the books of the Bible? Do they understand the genres of each book of the Bible?

Give your children a fun way to learn the books of the Bible with this printable bookshelf craft. They can use it as a reference, a puzzle, or a memorial of the books they’ve read (as we do in Bible Road Trip™). Your kids can construct this craft over a few days, or they can add books to the bookshelves as they read them.

Creating Your Books of the Bible Craft

1)  Print Your Books of the Bible Bookshelf Crafts and Cut Out the Shelves

Books of the Bible Craft
Print each page on a different color of cardstock–you’ll need seven. You’ll want two pieces of cardstock for the background pieces too.


2) Glue Your Shelves to a Blank Piece of Cardstock

Books of the Bible Craft
This will create your bookshelves.

On the Old Testament bookshelf, in order your shelves will be:

  • Law / History
  • Poetry / Major Prophets
  • Minor Prophets

On your New Testament bookshelf, in order your shelves will be:

  • Gospels / History
  • Pauline Epistles
  • General Epistles / Prophecy

3) Cut Out Your Books of the Bible

Books of the Bible Craft
Cut out each book of the Bible. You can choose to work on one section at a time as an ongoing project, or you can cut them all out at once. You can also make it a puzzle for your kids as they figure out where each book of the Bible goes on the bookshelves.


4) Glue Your Books of the Bible onto the Bookshelf

Books of the Bible Craft
Your child can glue the books of the Bible onto each shelf as they read it, or they can work on a section at a time. You may want to spend a few days working on this project if you’ve decided to do it all at once.

Books of the Bible Craft

You did it! Consider framing your child’s Books of the Bible craft and put your child’s work somewhere special and talk about each book of the Bible on a regular basis.

Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Bible

Love the Bible for Kids | A resource you'll love!

You want your kids to learn and love the Bible. 

You want to teach the Bible…

As parents, we deeply desire the best for our kids. We look for the right schools, we make them eat right and exercise, and we get them involved in extracurricular activities. We take our job as parents seriously.

But are we also putting our time and energy into
teaching them the Bible? Giving them the life-changing, soul-nourishing words of Scripture is not only doable, it’s an essential part of parenting kids for Jesus. And the good news is, studying God’s Word as a family doesn’t have to be difficult!

2 Timothy 2:15, ESV, says:

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved,
a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

Our job, as parents who love Jesus, is to help our kids become approved workers, unashamed and rightly handling the word of truth.

The good news? Teaching the Bible isn’t hard. Your family can learn the Bible together.

…and you can!

A Crash Course in Teaching the Bible to Your Kids

Danika Cooley’s book, Help Your Kids Learn and Love the Biblewill give you the tools and confidence to study the Bible as a family. It will help you identify and overcome your objections and fears, give you a crash course in what the Bible is all about and how to teach it, and provide the guidance you need to set up a family Bible study habit.

You will finish this book feeling encouraged and empowered to initiate and strengthen your child’s relationship with the Lord through His Word.
