Intricate origami stars folded as Christmas decorations in Germany are named as a tribute to Friedrich Frobel.
A 19th century German educator, who is the father of the kindergarten concept, he taught children to fold origami stars to improve their manual dexterity.
The stars have a long tradition in the state of Thuringia in Germany and to this day people still fold “Fröbelsterne” before Christmas and hang them on their trees.
Pendant is inspired by Froebel stars (Fröbelsterne)
