Building with blocks in a Froebel kindergarten, 1937

In a kindergarten room with patterned curtains, a radiator under the window and a folding screen, three small children kneel and sit among large wooden blocks and boxes on the floor and build a tower, a girl in a flowered pinafore reaching over the pile. Building blocks were the heart of Friedrich Fröbel's method: he coined the word kindergarten in 1840 and designed wooden 'gifts' through which children were to learn form and number in play.
