Gift 1 is normally introduced by the parent while a child is still a toddler and can be used for children ages 3 mos. to 3+ years. Froebel recognized that a ball is often a child's first or favorite toy. These balls are lightweight and easy to grasp or hold. For Froebel, the ball symbolized unity because it is a complete whole, a pure form. The whole is the beginning of understanding as everything else is derived from the whole.
