Froebel laid the foundation for modern education with his creation of the world's first kindergarten (German = “children's garden”) in Germany in 1837.

To support free self expression, creativity, social participation, motor skills, and demonstrate that children learn by playing, Froebel designed geometric building blocks, balls, tiles, sticks known as the Froebel Gifts or Gaben.

Maria Montessori was influenced by Froebel's philosophy; among the notable people who experienced Froebel materials as children are architects Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Buckminster Fuller; as well as anthropologist Franz Boas.
