Quote
[Friedrich] Froebel credited the children themselves for teaching him how to teach them. Considering their ways, he saw their delight in movement, their powers of observation, their use of senses, their ability to invent and construct, and he turned this to the interest of children. This was an “ah ha” moment, for he saw, perhaps more clearly than any of his predecessors, the power of play in the education and development of children.
