The Mottoes and Commentaries of Friedrich Froebel's Mother Play (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781410209627)

This volume contains Froebel's songs and games for the mother with her child. This is justly regarded as the key to the philosophy of the kindergarten and as the manual of its practice. Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852) was a German educator who introduced the concept of kindergarten. This book is a collection of fifteen essays, originally published in German in 1861, on the value of different stages of a child's play. Froebel found an educational value in every phase of the child's play, and in every object that engages its attention. Froebel finds all that the child does significant and of educational importance. In fact, he is the great pioneer and founder of child study as well as of the pedagogic theory of intellectual values.
