About the Froebel method of teaching

Founded by Friedrich Fröbel, this method centers on play as fundamental to a child's development. Fröbel's kindergartens, established in 1840, revolutionized education by prioritizing care, nurture, and creative expression. He believed play was the vehicle for children's learning and self-discovery, preparing them for adulthood. Fröbel's "play gifts," geometric objects made from diverse materials, facilitated understanding of the world. These gifts encouraged exploration of nature, math, and art. Today, Fröbel's occupations, including paper folding, weaving, painting, and more, shape early childhood education worldwide and influence modern art and architecture. Figures like Piet Mondrian, Wassily Kandinsky, and Le Corbusier engaged with Fröbel's geometric forms, reflecting the enduring impact of this method on creativity.
