Baby sign language

Is there a good book or website?

Apparently our nanny is teaching F sign language, so I need to learn it ASAP.  I only know the alphabet and the sign for frog =)

Re: Baby sign language

  • Baby Einstien has a DVD that is for baby sign language.

  • I have a DVD, but honestly we never used it. Everything I've read says to start with 3 signs: more, eat and milk. Beyond that, every sign I wanted to teach DD I just googled.

    We do have a board book on signing that has a lot of basics in it too: https://www.amazon.com/My-First-Signs-Annie-Kubler/dp/1904550398 I got it at BRU. DD likes pictures of babies, so we've read it about a zillion times.

  • We take baby sign language classes at the Gymboree on Post Oak and love them.
  • Ok, F is being taught by our nanny, I need someone to teach me!

    Is there a good website that has the signs?  She knows more, please and thank you so far.

  • The teacher of the class recommended this site because it has video clips of people doing the signs. https://commtechlab.msu.edu/Sites/aslweb/browser.htm Baby signs are pretty close to real ASL. However, the class has been extremely helpful for me even more so than Molly.  I learn the signs in class so I can use them with her at home, but she enjoys the bubbles, music, other kids, etc.
  • There is a DVD called Baby Signing Time that is very good. Several girlfriends have had great success with it.

    We turned onto it just a little bit before Lucas's speech took off - the need for signing fell away before implementing everything.

    We might try earlier with K2.

  • i know baby sign and I also have a book that you can borrow that's really quick to understand...  i'll give it next time I see you - prob on fri.
