Fröbel’s Gifts

Friedrich Fröbel (1782-1852) was a German educator and the founder of the oldest known kindergarten, in 1837 in Bad Blankenburg. It was an institute for children under the age of six, which he occupied with various educational projects. In his theories, Fröbel assumed a belief in divine unity in nature, using spiritual training as a fundamental principle. Three-dimensional forms would stimulate the development of the child; an idea that resulted in the first buidling block boxes: Fröbel’s Gifts. This item is also on display in The Masonic Lobby.
