Puzzle Divided Cylinder Froebel Gift Portable Play Jar

Inspired by Froebel’s Gifts, the divided cylinder appears deceptively simple but represents a complex approach to learning! In Froebel’s educational philosophy of ‘gifts’ the presentation of the ‘gift’ is as a whole, when play is complete it must be returned as it was presented.

This wooden divided cube is a 12 piece puzzle that is housed in an Awe & Wonder portable play jar. The puzzle is investigated by children during play and is only finished once it is successfully returned to the portable play jar in it's whole form.  

Froebel inspired 'gifts' encourage children to make connections to their learning. While taking something that is familiar to them and using their knowledge and skills to re-create items and events in the world around them. The divided cube puzzle also supports mathematical thinking, early numeracy development, problem solving skills and persistence.
