St. Patrick famously taught the Irish people about the Holy Trinity using a shamrock; three leaves on one stem! Inspired by this tale we've designed a green Holy Trinity Flexagon paper toy. Children can manipulate the toy to show the multiple sides- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Each side shows traditional symbols associated with that aspect of the Holy Trinity!
A fun and interesting way to teach children about the Holy Trinity.
This printable is ready to print in full color, and comes with folding and gluing instructions.
Sized to fit standard letter paper 8.5"x11"

This is worthy of better instructions for all. I eventually figured it out but should be simpler. Also, I recommend tape over glue on some spots.

Cute manipulative for little hands and it not only helps with brain development in the folding process, it helps teach about the Trinity!

Looks nice, I haven't used it yet as I already had a Holy Trinity sermon ready for the kids, but I have it in the file for next year, or when the opportunity arises. Thanks so much for the free resource!

This was a nifty way to show my kids the trinity. My 6 year old loved the way it would twist to show a new set of words and pictures, and she would practice saying each one.

The children in my class loved them. They had just learned how to do a flexagon in school, but they said this one was cooler (my slang, their word was fly? They would have liked it to also have been a coloring version, but what you gave us was wonderful.

A fun paper project. My older kids had fun putting these together and the younger ones enjoyed spinning them around. The final gluing is a bit fidley and required some patience.

I wish I had a video of the young boys in front of me at mass reading your books. It inspired me to go home and order the saints ABC book and others on your webpage. All of the books will be great for my grand kids.
