The Trinity is a challenging concept for children (or even adults!) to understand, but is an important thing to communicate. God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, inseparable and yet distinct in person and purpose. There is an element of this truth that we may never fully comprehend, and simply take on faith. There are some ideas that we can use, though, to help illustrate the Trinity and hopefully explain it to some extent. These two crafts aim to share and celebrate God’s three-in-one nature. A “Triangle Trinity Model” provides a decorative description of the Trinity. The “I Need S’More Jesus” magnet is a fun and seasonal way to recall that the Trinity has three components in one person.
