Gift play with the points is closely related to drawing, one of Froebel's Occupations. Drawing is an Occupation since it cannot easily be undone. It helps to understand Gift 9 in this context. Through Gift play, the child will begin to see the universe in terms of solids, surfaces, lines and points. In drawing, the child may perceive lines as a series of connected points.
Points also exist in three dimensions.
Gift 10, the final Gift, creates a skeletal structure of a form using both points and lines.
