the Bauhaus and early childhood development / education

I'd be curious to hear about how the Bauhaus can be used in classrooms and other educational settings, esp. in K-12 contexts. The Bauhaus artist Johannes Itten was a Froebel-trained elementary school teacher. The Bauhaus' focus on basic geometric shapes -- such as the square, cube, triangle, circle, sphere, etc. -- seems to have a lot in common with so many kids' toys and games that use those shapes.
