Elora Crawford is an artist, educator, and MA Art Education student at Concordia University. Her research explores the art history of Kindergarten and the pedagogy of play. Central to this work is her scholarship of 19th-century playthings and art activities—the “Gifts and Occupations”—introduced to education by the founder of Kindergarten, Friedrich Froebel (1782–1852). These materials for learning through play are explored in workshops, gift play interviews, archival study, and artmaking. Her artistic practice unfolds across installation, sculpture, parquetry, paper-folding, and weaving.
Elora has shown her work and curated exhibitions in Toronto and Montréal, and has presented workshops and guest lectures in Toronto, Montréal, and Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Her art writing has appeared in C Magazine,Peripheral Review, the Trinity Review, and gallery exhibition essays. She holds a BA in Visual Studies from the University of Toronto.

Learning through play informs the theoretical building blocks of art education, but teaching through play takes practice. This two-hour workshop leads participants through material exploration of the Froebel gifts—play sets designed by education reformist Friedrich Froebel alongside the invention of Kindergarten—and the occupations—art activities that extend foundational knowledge of art and design principles.
