Children are the leaders of tomorrow. One day these kids will be passing on the valuable information they’ve learned to their own children. But for now, they are on the receiving end of the learning spectrum, and their young, developing minds are absorbing all they can about God, his work and his Word.

What better way to help them exercise their minds than with resourceful Bible gifts specifically catered to their needs and interests? After all, there are lots of study Bibles to aide adults; let’s take a look at what’s available for children.

Story Bibles

Among these specially-made gifts are story bibles designed to teach the smallest children. Filled page after page with colorful illustrations and detailed imagery, these storybooks introduce young, non-readers to the characters and tales of the Bible. Their artistic features are designed to nab a child’s attention and increase their interest in learning about God.

The Adventure Bible is among the most popular storybooks, helping kids to understand life during Bible times, highlighting the most well-known verses and indicating the most interesting facts and figures in the Bible. Parents will approve of Bible gifts such as this, and children will have a blast mixing their fun time with learning.

Bibles for Boys and Girls

When considering giving the gift of the Bible to a boy or girl, it is best to acknowledge the differing interests of both parties. Boys, for instance, are more inclined to read stories that feature a strong, male figure, while little girls respond to the classic heroine. There are different study Bibles made specifically for children that will help them understand the Bible better, from a younger perspective.

These types of children’s bibles allow both boys and girls to grasp the details of what it was like for men and women to live during Bible times. They present powerful, admirable characters that children can aspire to be like.

When searching for the perfect boys’ or girls’ bibles, keep in mind that color and design are everything. Most gender-specific children’s bibles stick to the basics: blue for boys, pink for girls. The artwork is also gender-specific; decorative flowers, for example, typically indicate bibles meant for little girls. But artwork and packaging aren’t everything. The main purpose of these Bible gifts is to enlighten the lives of young children by reaching out to them from a point of view to which they can relate.

Bible Accessories

The ideal Bible gift for a young child does not necessarily have to be a storybook or a Bible written in a gender-specific format. Among the most creative gifts to give are those made for children who already possess their own copies of the Bible. These gifts can be as simple as Bible highlighters, which are ideal for marking verses without having the ink bleed through the page, or Bible tabs, which allow kids to mark their favorite passages without ruining any pages. These accessories are not only fun to use, but they are constructive and worthwhile.

A Bible cover is one treat that would please any youngster. Available almost anywhere in an array of colors, textures and designs, Bible covers are a smart way to protect the Bible and keep additional notes neat and organized. Girls will love the various fashionable designs available to them, from bright, animated colors to animal print and furry covers. Boys will enjoy the camouflage-style covers, and older kids will appreciate a nice, fine leather to wrap around their Bibles. Meanwhile smaller kids will go crazy for the Veggie Tales-themed plush Bible covers.

Children are continuously learning, and these varied Bible gifts will help them further acquire biblical knowledge, all whilst learning in an imaginative, hands-on manner.
