Baby Signing Time 3

Fantastic. I can't sing the praises of this entire series enough! We started using the at 4 months old and at 6 months my daughter started signing milk, eat, and quickly followed by dozens of other signs over the next several months. My husband I Have learned righ along side her! Her language development and vocabulary are well above average. At just 24 months she speaks in full complex sentences with varied vocabulary. She sings full fledged songs like God Bless America, Let it Go, part of your world, and many many more. She knows her letters, colors, shapes, zoo animals, bugs, sea animals, farm animals, recognizes numbers 1-20, recites numbers 1-20. Counts objects 1-10, spells her name, knows her address, knows the other states our family members live in...the list just goes on. Now I know these videos aren't the only reasons she is flourishing so well, but I do attribute these as the start to it all. I love that I can sign instructions to her without having to say a thing out loud. It prevents frustration and humiliation for her. Other parents are amazed and immediately want to know what I'm doing with her! As a baby she was super happy and content because she could always make her wants and needs known. Now as a toddler, I can sign for her to sit down during library story time, she can sign to me when she needs to go potty. Mind you, she uses her verbal language most of the time, but this is her second language and she is better at it then me! These videos are engaging, have catchy songs, and the repitivite ness seals the deal for the learning!This would make a fantastic baby shower gift! You will be thanked over and over again!

This is our third Baby Signing Time video purchase. My 2-year old toddler has really enjoyed each one. I was pretty skeptical before buying our first (I'm a fairly frugal guy). Even though these videos are not expensive, the idea of a bad purchase is less than settling. The great reviews on Amazon finally did convince me, though, and I couldn't be happier with the decision.My daughter asks to watch "Signing Time" nearly every day. The signs are taught in a way that she's able to pick them up quickly. Has it helped with our communication? ...immensely. Her enunciation is still not great and sometimes she gets quite frustrated with me for not understanding what she's saying. If she can sign the word(s), however, all becomes quickly clear and her smiling satisfied look of relief is quick to follow as I successfully confirm what she's saying.This video in particular (of the three we own) is packed with lots of signs that we use everyday. Driving has become good signing practice as we pass trees, flowers, leaves, etc. and we see the sun and clouds or the moon and stars in the sky. It's great and she seems to really enjoy being able to sign the words as she speaks them.

In the beginning, we weren't so sure about these Baby Signing Time DVDs so we borrowed a couple of them from the library and then finally decided to purchase them since our little guy loved them so much. We started teaching our son sign language when he was six months old. It has been a wonderful resource for him to learn new signs by watching the DVDs. The music and clips of other babies signing definitely makes it more interesting for him. He is now 20 months old and uses his signs to communicate to us everyday. I would say that we love the songs in the third DVD more than the first and the second (even though they are all very good). I would recommend these DVDs to all parents who are interested in teaching their babies sign language. However, I believe that the most important and helpful thing in teaching your baby sign language is your constant reinforcement of what he has learned in the DVD by actually using the signs and by practicing them with him on a regular basis.

My daughter absolutely loves these videos! She is 18mos and really getting into signing now. Every time I ask if she wants to watch "baby sign" she jumps up and down. The songs are pretty good on this DVD. Many of the signs are a little more advanced and require to hand gestures put together, not just one. So this may be better for a child that is pretty proficient at single gesture signs. Some of the signs are relevant such as trees, grass, stars. Some of the signs are not such as day. It all depends on how far you want to take their signing. And if you're not even interested in signing the video itself is entertaining for a child because of all the children on the video.

We initially purchased the Baby Signing Time series so we could better communicate with a young family member. This series has blessed our lives ten fold. At the time, we didnt know our oldest wouldn't learn to speak until he was three. I credit the Baby Signing Time series with giving us the ability to communicate, especially through the frustrating moments, with ASL. The music is fantastic, the explanations and visuals are so clear. When we watch, our senses aren't assaulted like with so many other kids' "educational" programs. I gift this series to every new Mom and we continue to enjoy these shows along with other programs from Two Little Hands Productions (Rachel and the Treeschoolers & Potty Time specifically). You won't regret the time or money spent on this wonderful program. So sit back and enjoy learning ASL with your family!

My son LOVES the Baby Signing Time DVDs! He loves singing the songs, which I think is just the cutest thing in the entire world! It seems like he enjoys singing the songs from "A New Day" the best. We have had great luck with these videos. At first we were signing to him and although he was picking up on it, he didn't seem to have much interest in it... if that makes sense. Then we found these videos and he started signing up a storm! It seems like the videos really reinforced what we were teaching him while making it super fun and engaging. As he has gotten older he still loves the DVDs, and uses them not just to learn how to sign, but for language development and fun as well. I'm shocked on all of the signs, words/phrases, and songs my 1 year old has under his belt from these DVDs. Absolutely amazing!
