Play & Learn

Watching my young son create art and build with toy blocks—while joining in myself—has rekindled my passion for making and led me to explore new creative avenues.

Below, you’ll find links to the toys and books that have supported my son’s creativity, enriched my parenting journey, and inspired my art and design practice.

Froebel's Gifts

Educational play materials for young children, originally designed by Friedrich Froebel in the 1830s for the first kindergarten.

 

These "toys" are credited with influencing renowned 20th-century designers and artists like Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Gego, Paul Klee (and many more).
