seventh gift

tiles

The shapes of this gift are derived from the surfaces of the blocks of the earlier gifts. They can be introduced to the child by placing them on the blocks. Made of wood, cardboord or paper, these two dimensional shapes can be arranged by the child to create knowledge, beauty or life forms.

Children create these beautiful designs using one shape. This set of 60 pieces includes 10 pieces in each of the six colors of the rainbow. Buy these shapes online from the Froebel Gallery.

In the occupation of paper folding, these shapes appear as the child folds the paper.
