Originally published in 1895, "The Republic of Childhood: Froebel's Gifts" provides an in-depth guide to the use of Froebel?s materials by two of the Kindergarten?s most famous supporters. In this first of two volumes, Kate Douglas Wiggin (author of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm and many others) and her sister Nora Archibald Smith discuss use of the Froebel Gifts in the Kindergarten from their experiences in the classroom and as presenters at educational workshops and conferences. The sisters were instrumental in establishing the Kindergarten in California and promoting its proper use throughout the world.
This rare work is an excellent resource for those wishing to learn more about Froebel's method and expand the creative use of educational materials. This book contains no illustrations but serves as an excellent companion to other books about Froebel's method. The second volume covers the use of the Froebel Occupations.
