By Sandra Gustafson

Symbolic Education: A Commentary On Froebel's Mother Play by Susan Blow is a comprehensive analysis of the educational philosophy and practices of Friedrich Froebel, a prominent German educator who developed the concept of kindergarten. The book focuses on Froebel's Mother Play, a collection of activities and games designed to stimulate the imagination and creativity of young children. Blow provides a detailed commentary on each of the Mother Play activities, explaining their significance and how they contribute to the development of children's minds and bodies. She also discusses the broader principles of Froebel's philosophy, including his emphasis on the importance of play, nature, and symbolic representation in early childhood education.
