The Holy Trinity is
not only a difficult concept to explain to adults, but a challenge trying to
explain it in terms a child can understand. The Apostles’ Creed and Nicene Creed contains a great lesson and deep meaning of the controversial Trinity concept.

My favorite analogy of the Trinity is the
Shamrock method used by Saint
Patrick. Three leaves, but ONE Shamrock.
With the melody of Frère Jacques, sing with your kids while
making the activity:
Praise
the Father. Praise the Father.
Praise
the Son. Praise the Son.
Praise
the Holy Spirit. Praise the Holy Spirit.
Three in
one. Three in one.
Eggs
Other method I learned in a Religious Class is: Three in One with a hard-boiled Egg: The shell, the white, and the yolk represents God is made up of three parts (Father, Son and Holy Spirit),
there is still only one God as only one Egg.

This year
I found this creative book, 3 in 1: A Picture of God by Joanne
Marxhausen (Author), Ed Koehler (Illustrator), Benjamin
Marxhausen (Illustrator)
The author uses another method to guide children through the Holy Trinity with three parts: peel, flesh and core. Those parts represent Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit.
Watch the Book’s video : it explains the concept clearly
for children to understand the Holy Trinity.
Happy Holy Trinity!
