FROEBEL'S FIRST GIFT
"I wish to find the right forms for awakening the higher senses of the child: what symbol does my ball offer to him? That of unity."
"The ball connects the child with nature as much as the universe connects man with God."
Friedrich Froebel.
"Line in nature is not found, Unit and Universe are round."
"Nature centres into balls."
R. W. Emerson.
