AB  - Prominent pedagogue Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel, renowned as the author of the concept of pre-school institutionalized education, created a series of educational principles and practices based on the idea that preschool children get to know the world around them through play. In the 19th century, he created a pedadagogical system of pre-school children in his native Germany based on their activities, emphasizing the play with objects, Froebel gifts. The paper aims to present Froebelʹs ideas about play and their basic contribution to pre-primary education as an eminent activity that is a source of agile learning for a pre-school child. It presents a intelligible and harmonious study, which embodies all the essential components of Froebelʹs play and interprets his ideas in the context of pre-school and elementary pedagogy based on the whole, i. Froebelʹs pedagogical system.
