Fröbelin Palikat is a Finnish children's music band. The band was formed in 1987 by kindergarten teachers Mats Lillrank, Ari Bergström, and Hannu Mäkelä, who had met while studying at Helsingin lastentarhanopettajaopisto in 1981–1983.[1] Timo Nuutinen joined the band later in 1987.[1] The name Fröbelin Palikat ("Fröbel's blocks") derives from the educational toy blocks designed by German pedagogue Friedrich Fröbel.[1]
