Adam and Eve Story for Kids

by pameladonnis

“In the beginning. . .” the first interactive Bible characters I created were for telling the Adam and Eve story. And from the beginning the printable version has been a FREE download here at Keeping Life Creative so that YOU can test out the story figures for yourself to see if they’ll work for teaching your family or class too!

I am so humbled that tens of THOUSANDS of families and teachers have downloaded these figures and shared their success stories in using the characters during their Bible lessons.

When you sign up for our e-mail list, a link to download these interactive Adam and Eve story printables will be delivered to your inbox so you can try them too!

But if you don’t mind, I’d love to take a minute to share HOW these printables were first created and WHY they are such a great tool in teaching Bible stories to your kids/students.

Why I Created these Adam and Eve Story Printables

I was in the season of young motherhood with a two-year old and a newborn when I received a strong impression that I needed to start teaching my babies stories from the scriptures.

I wasn’t exactly sure HOW I’d teach the Bible stories. (And this was before Pinterest so creative teaching ideas weren’t as easy to find!)

But I remembered my childhood Sunday School classes and learning stories on an old-school flannel board. So one afternoon during my babies’s naptime, I pulled out a stack of felt scraps and started cutting out rough shapes of people and scenery.

Those rudimentary characters were well-loved and eventually became the basis of our family’s scripture learning. I primarily focused on teaching and familiarizing our kids with the Bible stories — knowing the principles and application of scripture would come later.

And a Decade Later. . . 

Fast forward many years and those two babies are now teenagers! We’ve added a few more kiddos to the mix (making a total of six kids). So our family scripture study looks a bit different than it did in those early years. Seasons are always changing!

But using flannel board story sets is still one of our favorite ways to tell Bible stories.

(Except now they’re available to YOU in a digital/printable format, making them easy to print and laminate, or iron on felt.)

Adam and Eve Story Props are for all Learners!

WHY do we love these storytelling props and activities?

They’re an especially fun way to get the kids involved in the Bible account. As they manipulate the characters and interact with an audience (real or make-believe), they stay engaged in the story.

Hands-on storytelling captures the attention of kids who are tactile or kinesthetic learners and need movement to learn best.

BUT interactive storytelling ALSO engages students who are auditory learners (as they talk about or tell the story), visual learners (they “watch” the story being acted out), and social learners (their knowledge will be strengthened through conversation).

These hands-on storytelling activities let KIDS become the teachers. And the props make great tools for organically testing their learning comprehension. Just ask them to re-tell the story to you!

And here are some additional learning activities you’ll get in that download — to help teach your kids the Adam and Eve story:

Kid-friendly Bible Story Suggestions

Reading directly from the Bible can be intimidating and hard for young kids to understand. In the beginning I prefer to use a Bible storybook or picture reader to help them learn the stories. As they learn the Bible at their level, the principles and application of scripture will eventually come line upon line, as the stories come alive.

Mamas and teachers are always asking for my Bible reader recommendations, and I have a few suggestions!

Adam and Eve Paper Doll Crafts

Making a paper doll may seem like a simple craft. But combining hands-on activities with a lesson actually activates kids’ brains! If they’re only listening, they’re only activating one part of the brain. When they’re putting projects together, creating crafts, or explaining to a peer — they’re making connections in the brain that will better help them remember and apply their learning.

These Adam and Eve paper doll crafts are a fun project to supplement the Bible story lesson.

Comic Strip for Re-telling the Adam and Eve Story

This Bible story activity is a favorite with my older kids! Comic-strip style graphic novels are SO popular. So why not let have them create their own by retelling the scriptural account?! Also a great way to check their comprehension and reinforce the story in their minds!

“Making Choices” Sorting Game

Liken and apply the scripture story to kids’s lives through this “making choices” discussion game. The story of Adam and Eve can easily spark discussion about the choices we make. After telling about Adam and Eve’s choice to eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, use the picture cards to talk about some examples of good and bad choices they may face.

Then play a sorting game by placing good choices in one column, and bad choices in another.

Before/After Garden of Eden Flipbook

Re-tell Adam and Eve’s experience in the Garden of Eden though a simple flipbook foldable. Cut and fold, then illustrate or write inside the flaps to show and tell what happened BEFORE and AFTER Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden.

Cut-and-Paste Tree Craft

Originally created as an apple tree craft for fall, we changed the colors a bit and turned this into a craft reminding us of the fruit trees in the Garden of Eden. The printable cut-and-paste template makes the project simple.

    Thank you so much for the Creation, Adam and Eve and Moses downloads. We are a small evangelical church in North Wales. We do a weekly toddler group and a bible club. We found felt bible stories very expensive to buy so we bless you for providing these downloaded stories. Thank you again. Elinor

    Thank you so much for this ministry of yours!! I have a 3 year old son that I homeschool. I have been wanting to find ways to make the Bible come alive for him without purchasing the expensive curriculum or felt sets. This is exactly what I wanted. I printed your sets. I painted toilet paper rolls (for a 3D effect) and am about to hot glue my laminated Adam and Eve on them to tell the story. My son is going to love it! I will probably print extra figures so he can play with them on a cookie sheet. 🙂 I am looking forward to seeing additional Bible characters. These are GORGEOUS. If I can make it to the store, I may add yarn to Adam and Eve to make them pop a bit more. I pray that this little bit helps my son remember history! Thank you so very much. God bless you!

      I really appreciate your kind feedback, and I’m so happy you’re enjoying the story pieces! There are several other free Bible story sets as well, hopefully you’ve also discovered those! If you think of it, I’d love to see a picture of your final project! Love the idea for the 3-D effect. Have fun, and thanks for visiting.
      xoxo, Pam

    Thank you for the opportunity to share Adam & Eve with my 3 year old. I am overwhelmed with everything on the “to do” list with the older kids and often I find very little is spent on my baby. My prayer is that this year I would have wisdom to balance out all 3 children and their learning journey. I am truly blessed and you are an answer to prayer.

      Thank you SO much for sharing this with me! I completely understand, as I sometimes struggle to balance time and learning between my four kids as well. Hope you enjoy the stories!

    Noah and the Ark would be easy for you to create. You already have adorable animals designed. Just add Noah and the Ark. Your graphics are adorable.

    Oh my goodness, this is SO what I was looking for. I was thinking that I could make my own but was getting so overwhelmed. My 2 1/2 year old daughter is totally into story telling and I really want to start doing more than just our daily morning, dinner & bedtime devotions. This is so perfect. I’m giddy about it!

    Thank you SO much for these Pam!! They are SO cute! I teach preschool at our church’s Christian School. I plan to print these out and laminate them. I’m not sure yet if we’ll use them on a flannel board or as a game file… or both! 🙂 Again, thank you SO much!!
