Singing songs and rhymes is the perfect way to bond with your baby and share quality time.
It also aids language development by introducing them to the natural sounds
and patterns of speech. Combining these with actions also stimulates the brain
and helps muscle development and coordination.

Baby Signing Board Books
By introducing babies to simple signs at an early age, we can enable them to communicate
their emotions and their needs. Babies are able to coordinate and control their hand muscles
much earlier than their speech muscles, meaning they can produce recognisable signs
from as young as seven months. This ability to communicate not only reduces frustration
for babies and their parents/carers, but it also helps their language development.
Using standard British Sign Language signs means that your baby’s signs will be understood
by other parents or carers who sign, as well as by you.
