Froebel Gift 4 - 2 inch cube FW-4 |  | ||
Gift 4 is only a slight variation on Gift 3, but the rectangular pieces open up many more possibilities. The 2" cube is again divided into eight pieces, but the pieces have a proportion of 1 to 2 to 4 (1/2" by 1" by 2"). This feature aids in creating modular constructions and designs, and introducing proportion.
The presentation is exactly the same as with Gift 3, reinforcing the process/ritual. Ask your child how this new Gift differs from the last. Comment on the similarities and differences.
Forms of Life:
New possibilities in building provide new associations. Introduce words like brick, tile, and steps. Your child will make walls, sidewalks, fences, tables, chairs, etc.
Forms of Knowledge:
The concept of proportion and of fractions (and vocabulary words like half, quarter, fourth, etc.) can be discovered. Introduce new words like rectangle, direction, vertical, horizontal, height, width, length.
Forms of Beauty:
Continue with symmetrical designs. Remember that each new design is created by modifying the last. When your child is ready and has explored the possibilities of symmetrical patterns, introduce asymmetrical designs.
Ages 5 and up.
