Golden jubilee edition of The paradise of childhood, a practical guide to kindergartners
A kindergarten teaching manual by Edward Wiebé, revised by Henry W. Blake and issued in 1916 by Milton Bradley of Springfield, Massachusetts, setting out Froebel's gift-and-occupation exercises for teachers of young children. The line engravings show tablet mosaics, gridded stitching patterns, folded-paper figures and stick-and-ring constructions — symmetrical geometric motifs usable as borders, pattern repeats and diagram ornament.
