Definition
- If play has always been a child's first teacher, then parents become a child's first toys. German educator Friedrich Froebel (1782–1827) asserted, “What a child imitates, he begins to understand.” For a newborn's strong grasp reflex action, finger games provide the first play that can quiet a child.
