Paper and Scissors in the Schoolroom by Emily Weaver, 1893, Published by Milton Bradley (Froebel Kindergarten Related)

Regular price $35.00

I happened across this one, and in my quest to share and promote all things Froebel kindergarten, of course I scooped it up. Published by Milton Bradley in 1893, this was one of a series of books directed toward teachers, in an effort to spread and support the teaching of the Froebel kindergarten program in the US (with Milton Bradley the leading producer of Froebel blocks, papers, sewing cards, etc.) The subject here is specifically the occupation of paper folding and cutting, and with diagrams on pretty much every page, it makes an excellent reference now for making one's own album of what Froebel had categorized as "Forms of Beauty" (flat geometrical patterns folded from squares and other shapes), and "Forms of Life" (representations of everyday objects). Or just keeping the kids busy on a rainy day!

8" x 5 3/8", 77 pages. Excellent condition, previous owner's signature in graphite, otherwise unmarked and very crisp and clean..
