New Baby Signing Time DVDs

Ever since I heard about Baby Signing Time through a friend, I have been keen to teach Gavin how to sign.  Anything that would help to head off toddler tantrums and help us get through the “terrible twos” more smoothly was, in my book, definitely worth looking into.  When I bought the Baby Signing Time Set, I found it so engaging that even I enjoyed watching them.

After Gavin started learning most of the signs from Baby Signing Time, I thought it was time to get more DVDs and I bought myself another three DVDs from the Signing Time collection from the topics that Gavin was most interested in at the time.  I was surprised that Gavin didn’t enjoy the Signing Time collection as much as he enjoyed Baby Signing Time.  I guess the layout and change in characters took a bit of getting used to.  I also thought it might be due to the fact that Baby Signing Time plays music throughout the DVD, whereas, Signing Time stops in between to teach new signs.

At that time, I wished that Rachel would make more Baby Signing Time DVDs so that Gavin could learn more signs (since he wasn’t keen to watch Signing Time).  It turns out that my wish has come true -- there is now a Volume 3 and 4 for the Baby Signing Time collection available.  Here’s a sneak preview…

Baby Signing Time Volume 4:

I should add that Gavin has since warmed up considerably to the Signing Time DVDs I bought him and really loves the new songs.  He still signs to me that he wants to watch Signing Time -- although he refers to them all as “Baby Signing Time”.  His enjoyment of the series prompted me to buy the rest of Signing Time series 1 and 2 -- okay, okay, I confess, I bought them so I could watch them, too.

Although Gavin is getting older, I would still love to get a copy of Baby Signing Time Volume 3 and 4.  Gavin loves music and dancing and he enjoys watching the children signing.  And even though Gavin is picking up lots of new words every day now (to the point that he sometimes stops signing and just says the word), I like the audio-visual-kinesthetic approach to teaching that Signing Time offers and I think Sign Language is a great second language for Gavin to have under his belt.  Besides, baby number two will be able to watch and learn from them, too. (For those waiting for news - no, this is not a hint that baby number two is on the way)…

Author’s Note:  I originally wrote this blog post hoping to enter the Little Hands competition and win a complimentary copy of the new Baby Signing Time DVDs but then discovered that I couldn’t enter because I’m not a US resident.  Nevertheless, I really think Signing Time is great so I’ve decided to keep this post up.  If you want to teach your baby how to sign, I highly recommend this series of DVDs.

Ammended Note (19 September):  The Little Hands competition competition is now open to everyone.
