Children's Toys - The Aesthetic of Work

We should volve only those things that do not go unnoticed by children. When you see a farmer guiding a plough through the furrows, aside from the goal of the activity, we feel what lives in that image. If we bring such aesthetics into the toys we make, we approach what children really want. We have become almost completely utilitarian or intellectual in our civilization and thus we present children with all kinds of invented things. This is where many otherwise good kindergartens make major mistakes. The frobel kindergarten and others created with a genuine love of children must become clear that young children can imitate only what is not intellectual.
