This organization developed children's instinct and spontaneous activities, recruited children aged 3-7, and used his expertise in mathematics and architecture to design six sets of toys for children, named Wu En (German: Spiegel Gabe, Chinese: Froebel It is designed by God for children to play with, and it is a gift from God, so it is called a gift. 1840 Froebel, who loves nature, created a new word for this institution-kindergarten, which is also the source of this word: kindergarten is like a garden, children are like flowers and plants, teachers are like gardeners, and children's development is like plant growth. At the same time, he gave women a professional position-kindergarten teacher for the first time in Europe.
