Froebel's Mother Play

Froebel's Mother Play refers to everyday activities and interactions between parents and young children that promote learning through play. It emphasizes nurturing, communication, and shared experiences—such as singing, storytelling, or simple games—that help children develop social skills, language, and understanding of their environment. These activities are natural and spontaneous, fostering emotional security and cognitive growth, and are considered foundational for early childhood development. Froebel believed that through meaningful, playful engagement with a caring adult, children could explore and make sense of the world around them.
