The My Fruit of the Spirit Lapbook is a fun, hands-on Bible study for your child from the ages of 5-12. You and your child will study three Scripture passages:
- Galatians 5:22-23
- John 15:1-17
- Matthew 7:15-20
Your child will learn about the fruit the Holy Spirit develops in the life of the believer, think about ways that fruit can show in their life, and explore the definitions of the nine fruits listed in Galatians.
You and your child will discuss who grows the fruit in our lives, and when it appears. Your child will also learn what the Bible has to say about the fruit of those who do not love Jesus.
They will be asked to consider why Jesus told us to look out for those bearing bad fruit, specifically false teachers.

How to Set Up the Fruit of the Spirit Lapbook
To create the base of your lapbook, place your file folder on a table and fold both sides inward toward the creased spine of the folder. Once the outer edges meet, crease your file folder. This will give you a book that opens in the middle.
You will still have a fold in the middle of your book, so I like to glue a piece of cardstock into the middle section of the book to create a thick center that won’t bend.
You’ll want to print the My Fruit of the Spirit Lapbook single-sided on plain printer paper using color ink. In your lapbook pages, you will find step-by-step instructions on each minibook and activity, explaining how to assemble each. You can watch a quick tutorial for the Fruit of the Spirit lapbook above, at the beginning of this post.
The Fruit of the Spirit Lessons and Lapbook will give your child hours of thoughtful Bible study, with visuals they will not forget.
