The Gifts: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-Curvilinear

The legendary Froebel Gifts^TM, the educational materials developed for Friedrich Froebel's original kindergarten in 1837, are perhaps the world's most intricately conceived playthings. The Froebel Gifts^TM appear deceptively simple but they 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^TM, but the effect of Froebel's kindergarten is more widespread and interwoven with the world history. The purpose of this site is to introduce you to the Froebel Gifts^TM and their proper use.
