[What is the Third Gift?] The theme of the "Third Gift" is learning about changes in shape using eight "cubes." It is a collection of eight small cubic blocks with sides of 3 cm each, and is housed in a wooden box. (This matches the length obtained by dividing each side of the 6 cm cube in the "Second Gift (sold separately)" in half.) [How to play (example)] If you disassemble the cube experienced in the "Second Gift (sold separately)", you will see that it becomes the eight cubes introduced in this "Third Gift". ⇒ Introduction of disassembly and integration. The relationship between parts and the whole. Introduce that one cube can be disassembled front to back, left to right, and up to down. When one is taken out, the whole shape changes. It also tells you that even if one cube is missing, the whole will not return to its original shape. You will notice that the small cube is small as a whole, but has the same shape as the original cube. You will also discover that all the other small cubes are the same shape and size. Next, we will develop it into imitation play. Start with four cubes, then use all eight to play with continuously changing patterns. *This is just one example of how to play. Because it is simple, you can gain many realizations about cubes. ●Set contents: 8 cubes in a wooden box ●Material and specifications/Cover ●Weight/250g ●Wooden box size: 7.9 x 7.9 x 7 cm (height) ● Froebel-kan original products Made in Japan FROEBEL'S Kindergarten Gifts [Froebel Gift Series] "Gift" is the general term for a series of educational toys invented by Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852), the founder of kindergartens, as the first play equipment for children. [What is the third gift?] The theme of "The Third Gift" is learning about the changes in shape of eight "cubes." It is a set of eight small cubic blocks with sides of 3 cm each, and is housed in a wooden box. (This corresponds to the length of each side of the 6 cm cube in the "Second Gift" (sold separately) divided into two equal parts.) [How to play (example)] If you decompose the cube experienced in the "Second Gift (sold separately)", you will find that it becomes the eight cubes introduced in this "Third Gift". ⇒ Introduction of decomposition and integration. The relationship between parts and the whole. We will show you how a cube can be disassembled front-to-back, left-to-right, and top-to-bottom. When one is taken out, the whole shape changes. It also shows that if just one piece is missing, the whole will not return to its original shape. Children will notice that the little cube, although smaller overall, is the same shape as the original cube, and they will also discover that all the other little cubes are the same shape and size. Next, we will develop this into imitation play. Start with four pieces, then use all eight to play with the pattern changing continuously. *These are just a few examples of how to play with the cube. It's so simple, but it will give you a lot of insight into cubes.
