The German Christmas or Froebel Star (Fröbelstern) is a traditional Christmas decoration that can be dated back as far as the 18th century. Friedrich Froebel (who also founded the concept of Kindergarten) used this paper folding activity to teach children basic mathematics and develop dexterity skills.

We sell these Froebel Stars pre-made in a variety of papers and sizes as well as in kits with instructions for kids to make with their parents as special holiday decorations.
