The Story of the Tower of Babel

Within the pages of the book of Genesis, the story of the Tower of Babel goes deeper than just bricks and mortar and the building of a tower. 

As you’ll come to see, it’s also a profound exploration of unity, ambition, and seeing God’s hand in our ability to communicate. As moms, we're tasked with the challenge of translating God's word into lessons that can resonate with our little ones, and this biblical story offers rich soil for planting these seeds.

Imagine a time when the earth was filled with people speaking the same language, a time when understanding each other was as effortless as breathing. 

These people were united by a common language. They settled in a land and decided to build a tower—a tall tower that would reach the heavens. Their motive? To make a name for themselves and likely negate their need for God. 

This tall tower was a symbol of human pride and self-sufficiency, a tangible representation of their desire to reach the heavens without God’s help.

But, as the story continues, we learn a vital lesson about the limitations of our humanly ambition when it tries to overshadow God’s will. God saw the tall tower and realized that the unity of their language served as a potential way for them to stray further from His teachings. 

In a moment of divine intervention, God confused their speech, turning their single language into multiple different languages. Suddenly, neighbors couldn't understand each other. What was once cooperation became chaos, and the once unified people scattered across the earth. 

Their tall tower project was left abandoned.

Lessons to Learn From This Story

This story is not just an ancient tale from the book of Genesis; it actually offers some of the best bible lessons for our little ones, teaching them about pride, unity, and the importance of following God's word. 

As we go deeper into this story with our kids, using the printable Tower of Babel coloring pages as a guide, we can see that the values are still as relevant today as they were back then. 

Here are some lessons this story can teach our children – our younger and older children. 

The Importance of Humility 

The people in the story wanted to build the tallest tower to make a name for themselves which was driven by pride. 

Use this to teach your kids that while it’s good to have ambition, that ambition should not be at the cost of disobeying God’s Word or His plans for us.

Understanding Diversity

When God introduced different languages, it wasn't just to confuse but to teach the value of diversity. 

Our children can learn to embrace and celebrate the different cultures and languages around them, understanding that diversity is part of God’s beautiful design.

The Power of Unity

The language of the people was initially one which served as a way they were able to have such incredible unity. This unity made them powerful enough to attempt to build the tallest tower. 

This is a lesson for older kids especially, showing them how much can be achieved when we work together, but also a reminder that even when we work with other people, those efforts should align with God's plan and guidance.

Obedience to God

The ultimate lesson from the Tower of Babel is about listening to God’s word. It challenges us to reflect on whether we are building “towers” in our lives that may go against God's plan. Teaching our children to seek God’s will in everything they do is a valuable lesson of obedience.

Respecting Boundaries

God set boundaries for a reason, and the people of Babel overstepped them. 

This story can teach children to understand and respect the boundaries set by parents, teachers, and ultimately, God.

Incorporating these lessons into our discussions around the coloring sheets brings the Bible stories to life. 

It’s not just about the language of the people or the tallest tower; it’s about the values we instill in our children.
