Can you pull us out of the mire again mumnsetters?? In RE they are doing the 'holy trinity' (father, son & holy ghost - sorry if thats obvious to everyone!)
The children need to make a model of something else where three things combine to make one and we're truly stuck!! THe only thing I can think of is a plait and so make a 'model' of a plaited loaf of bread but thats not really three different things! We are not a particulary arty lot so my joke suggestion of a model of the 'sugarbabes' wasnt particularly helpful! Thanks all

blimey, i really didnt expect any replies!!! Yes the clover leaf is the obvious one, but I think its meant to be three different things that go together to make one thing! I'm liking the cup of tea idea, very good but I think the 'Battenburg' (not sure of the spelling!!) may be the winner!! Now she's ssupposed to make it, wonder if i can buy one and 'mess it about a bit'!!!
Thanks everyone, true stars!!!

How many in your family. If she is an only child then there are 3 people that combine to make a family.

What about that cake with the pink and yellow squares and the evil marzipan on top? That's 3 things. Pink squares. Yellow squares. Evil marzipan.

Airway

What's wrong with the clover leaf? 3 parts, 1 leaf, no part stands alone and you can't remove one from the whole without destroying it.
