Developed in the early 1800s by early childhood education pioneer Friedrich Fröebel, the Fröebel Gifts (“gabe” in German) are a series of simple toys and exercises which focus on geometric forms, colours and creativity.  Gift 5P, sometimes also called the Curvilnear Gift, consists of three natural wood divided concentric circles(thirty-six pieces in all) plus nine numbered wooden cubes. The pieces can be assembled into a wide variety of forms, particularly when used together with other Fröebel sets. The set comes in a natural wood storage box with lid which measures 18.cm square.
