Explaining the Trinity to Children: Three in One

10/08/2014 by Heidi

Shamrock

There are things in the Bible that I can’t wrap my brain around. The Trinity is one of them. The understanding that God is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit – Three in One.

Here are some ideas of yours and mine to help everyone in your home understand the awesome God we serve!

Shamrock   Painting Shamrocks
Place a blob of white, yellow, and blue paint on each leaf of Shamrock Printable.  Mix the colors together to make light green; three colors to form one color.  Can also mix three colors of play dough together. Thanks to Heather for this idea.

Water –
Steam, Liquid, Ice – Three forms but all H20.

Egg –
Shell, Yoke, White – Three forms that create an egg.

“God milk” –
Pouring milk (representing the Holy Spirit) into a glass (representing the child) and then added yellow food coloring (God the Father) and blue (God the Son). Stir it up and you have 1 God, but with 3 parts.

Pretzel  Twisty pretzels also have 3 parts to the whole pretzel.
