Materials as Mentors: The Original Materials Developed by Fredrick Froebel

A Lecture on the Original Kindergarten Materials and Frank Lloyd Wright by Nicolette Harrington, MoNA Link Coordinator

Join us in celebration of Youth Art Month! Froebel developed 10 gifts (educational materials) and 10 occupations (educational activities) to support children’s play and learning in 1837. Become familiar with seminal ideas that have contributed to the field of art education to help better understand how we came to be where we are today.

"The maple-wood blocks . . . all are in my fingers to this day."
