Friedrich Fröbel, Gifts | Gaben 7 - 10, 19th century.
The Froebel Gifts are maybe the world’s first educational toys and they certainly were the first materials designed for child development. Developed in the early 1800’s by Friedrich Froebel, who launched the Kindergarten in 1837, the Gifts appear simple but represent a sophisticated approach to child development. Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster Fuller and many other notable architects and artists were educated with the Froebel Gifts.
