This 5 min Froebel Trust short film introduces Froebel's Occupations and shows how one early years settings has built these activities into the curriculum they offer young children.
Froebel's Occupations are activities and experiences which enable children to develop their curiosity, creativity and problem-solving skills. These include clay, woodwork and sewing.
The team of educators based at Guildford Nursery School and Family Centre in Surrey (England) are trained in a Froebelian approach to early education. A Froebelian approach recognises the importance of play, learning through nature, practical hands-on learning and nurturing a child’s connection to their community.
More details about a Froebelian approach and access to free resources for educators working in early years settings can be found at froebel.org.uk
