Let's play and experience Fröbel – again!
Friedrich Fröbel was both, a brave childhood theorist and a gifted didactician and practitioner. He recognised childhood as an independent phase of life as well as the educational value of children‘s play. Fröbel integrated these into scientific theory and educational philosophy.
"The sources of all good is in play."
It was important to Fröbel to support children‘s play with care and attention through language. “Interaction as a basic didactic principle” we would say today. Playing with Fröbel gifts is located in the field of interaction between guidance by an adult and the free work and play of the children. In the mediation between these two poles in a co-constructive learning processes helps the children to acquire knowledge.
Laying materials
With the Fröbel Set 3, the colourful laying materials come into play!
The children have many different ways to use the laying materials: Using template cards and backgrounds, copying stories read out by the teacher or simply laying their own pictures and motifs. The stories are printed on a practical stand with instructions, so you can get started straight away! The children listen to the stories and act out the scenes freely. The Teacher Guide contains even more tips and information.
Fröbel in the 21. century
The concept of the play gifts of Friedrich Fröbel is almost 200 years old, but it still fits into current pedagogical trends. How do specialists in educational professions apply Fröbel today?
"I want to bring together what is divided – school and life must be one."
