Quote
[Friedrich] Froebel’s curriculum was based upon the child’s inner unfolding much as a young plant unfolds, requiring tender care and nourishment rather than force and restraint. Education was to grow out of the natural interests of the child and, hence, from life itself. His vehicle of instruction was play, which was to be instructive and enjoyable, unlike the rigid instruction and dull, passive tasks prevalent during his day.
