Teaching the Fruit of the Spirit to toddlers and preschoolers is a beautiful way to build a foundation of character and faith from an early age. These free Fruit of the Spirit printables from the Mindy Jones Blog give you a gentle, age-appropriate way to introduce these important qualities to your youngest learners — with over 30 pages of activities kids can actually enjoy.
What Is the Fruit of the Spirit?
The Fruit of the Spirit comes from Galatians 5:22-23 and includes nine character qualities: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These aren’t just Bible vocabulary words — they’re practical character traits that shape how kids treat others, handle frustration, and grow as people.
Why Start with Toddlers?
Toddlers are already learning about emotions, behavior, and relationships every single day. A Fruit of the Spirit curriculum simply gives those lessons a framework rooted in Scripture. When you teach a two-year-old about kindness or patience, you’re meeting them right where they are developmentally — and planting seeds that will grow for years.
This printable set is designed to be simple and low-prep. Toddler attention spans are short, so each activity is brief and hands-on. Think coloring, matching, and simple activities rather than worksheets and lectures.
How to Use This Curriculum
One fruit per week: Spend a week on each quality. Read the related Scripture, do the activities, and look for real-life moments to reinforce the concept. “You shared your toy with your sister — that’s kindness!”
Morning circle time: If you do a morning gathering or circle time in your homeschool, the Fruit of the Spirit makes a perfect daily focus. Start with a verse, sing a song, and talk about the day’s character quality.
Multi-age family: While this printable pack works especially well for toddlers and preschoolers, older siblings can participate by helping teach the concepts, doing additional reading, or journaling about each fruit at their own level.
