This coloring Bible was created for girls from 8 to 12 years old and has thick white paper which helps prevent bleedthrough when she writes or draws on the pages. The text is printed in Zondervan’s NIV Comfort Print® typeface in a readable 8-point print size.

4. ESV My Creative Bible for Girls
If ESV is your preferred Bible translation, you will love this adorable creative Bible!
One thing that I thought was interesting is that this Bible is published by a small Christian publishing company called Christian Art Publishing. I personally really like to support small businesses whenever possible.
My Creative Bible for Girls (ESV) is available in 4 fun covers:
- Softcover, ESV003
- Hardcover (Purple Glitter), ESV002
- Faux Leather Hardcover (Metallic Pink), ESV001
- Faux Leather Hardcover (Teal), ESV006
This Bible is formatted with a single column and has cute line-art illustrations throughout. It also has a presentation page that gives you space to add a name and/or a message when it is given.
This Bible also has a Bible Memory Section that has 66 important Bible verses that everybody should know and 12 line-art prayers that will help girls learn to pray about anything. Each book of the Bible also begins with a line-art illustration. The Bible also includes profiles of fifty women of the Bible.
5. NLT Inspire Bible for Girls
The NLT Inspire Bible for Girls is a creative Bible that was designed for girls over 8 years old by Tyndale. It is a single-column Bible that features over 500 scripture illustrations. It also has over 300 devotionals written by Carolyn Larsen. The Bible also has plenty of pages that have 2-inch margins that are lightly lined. This is great for taking notes, journaling, and writing prayers, or can be used to do creative Bible journaling.
There are a few different covers available depending on whether you want a hardcover, an imitation leather cover, or a paperback.
6. NIV Artisan Collection Bible for Girls
Zondervan has a pretty option if you are looking for a journaling Bible for a girl ages 8 to 12. Each page has lightly lined wide margins for notes, journaling, and artwork. The Bible is formatted with single columns and the words of Jesus are in red.
At the time of publishing this post, there are two different covers available. One is by Oliva Joy, a 2-D abstract artist from Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The other is by Edna Marie Esparra, the founder of Everlasting Words Designs, a Bible painting ministry.
7. NIrV Journal the Word Bible for Girls
Another great journaling Bible from Zondervan is the NIrV Journal the Word Bible for Girls. Zondervan designed this Bible for girls ages 6 to 10, with the NIrV translation, which is a 3rd-grade reading level translation.
This Bible features wide margins for note-taking and drawing. And one thing that is very special about this Bible is that it has 100 verses throughout that help with scripture memorization and penmanship.
8. NIV Journal the Word Bible for Girls
This journaling Bible is very similar to the Bible mentioned above. It is also published by Zondervan, but is appropriate for girls 8 and over, with the NIV translation. Because it is for slightly older girls it does not include the verses for tracing and penmanship.
The version that is currently available has floral artwork and a magnetic closure
It has a double-column layout and has lightly lined wide margins which are great for taking notes, journaling prayers, and creative Bible journaling.
