I’ve gotten quite interested in Froebel blocks. I’ve picked up a few antique sets to collect and use for storytelling in my design thinking workshops. I see them on display in exhibits about Frank Lloyd Wright and also at the Design Museum in London. The story is that many of the most famous designers in history, like Frank Lloyd Wright, grew up playing with Froebel blocks (and learning design from them). As I’ve learned more about the method of using Froebel blocks in classes with students, I notice the origins of popular training methods (like LSP) in the flow of activities.
