A great site to get you signing - learning some basic baby signs such as; milk, eat, all gone, no, to name a few.

Mr Tumble shows you how to do the sign properly (although regional signs may differ) He says the word at the same time as signing, this enables your child to learn speech and sign at the same time which improves their communication.

Mr Tumble will entertain your child, although may scare you a tad! There are other games and print-outs also.

These delightful books are the most popular baby signing books in the UK.

They are hardy board books (so will survive being chewed and thrown about), beautifully presented showing the illustrated image (by Annie Kubler), word, and instructions how to do the signs, with additional signing tips to help you out.

If you are starting out 'My First Signs' is the book to go for - then add other books to your collection as and when you wish. 'My First Signs' starts you off in baby signing by using the most common words you are likely to use such as Milk, Sleep, and More. There are 40 signs in total so you will find more than enough signs to get you started!

The BSL signs in this book are compatible with those used in the Makaton Language Programme, which used signs and symbols with speech to encourage communication and language development.

They contain flaps to grasp and open, different textures to feel, varying shapes to hold, squeak buttons to press etc...... which all encourage developmental skills to improve. By playing with developmental toys alongside using baby signing this will improve their manual movements in their fingers, hands, and arms as well as coordination, attention, eye-gaze, aural, and oral skills to name a few, all of which are vital in baby signing as well as normal development.
