A Froebel-like kit for young children, teaching them color theory, design, and craftsmanship. Included are samples at various stages of completion as well as numerous exemplars not yet used, all in attractive colors. Included is an 8pp. booklet providing basic instructions and offering example designs. The style of the packaging matches others issued by Milton Bradley during the period. Many such kits likewise exhibited a Froebel influence in order to appeal to a kindergarten audience possibly already being trained according to that principle. All materials fine, box only shows modest staining and wear with little to suggest any sort of repair. A fine kit, scarce in itself and to this degree of completion.
