Babies really can learn to communicate via signing well before they can form words – and using the Baby Signing Time DVDs and curriculum, you can teach your child to sign in a really fun, engaging way. The creators of the hit series, Signing Time, have found that teaching babies and toddlers to sign can reduce tantrums, frustration and help increase the bond between parents and children. Plus, you are exposing your child to a real second language (American Sign Language) at an early age – when their vocabulary is growing the fastest.
A few weeks ago I reviewed the Baby Signing Time program and shared some of the Signing Time printables here. Now I have the Baby Signing Time DVD Gift Set 1&2 plus a set of fun Baby Signing Time flashcards to give away to one lucky Printables4Kids.com reader. Whether you are already a huge fan of Rachel, Alex, Leah and Hopkins the Frog or you want to give Baby Signing Time a try, this giveaway is a perfect opportunity!

My babies first sign was eat
I’m still working on our first sign, milk. Hopefully, my twins will catch on soon.
My baby is 4 1/5 months old, I think now is the perfect time to learn to sign
My baby’s first sign was more. I would love if signing would help reduce tantrums since it would give my son a way to communicate until he can form the words.
The first sign I taught was more.
The first sign I taught to both my kids was all done. These are great videos!
The first sign I taught my oldest was “eat”.
My daughter’s first sign was eat, my son’s was more.
My baby’s 1st sign was “more”.
The first sign that I learned and my kids too was eat. Kbroderi@msn.com
great baby shower gift
The first sign was eat as well. I would love for her to learn hot, cold, mom, dad, yes, & no. Just the basics for now. Thank you for the chance to win!
I also posted about you on facebook!
Our babies first sign was ‘more’…
even at 4, he still sometimes uses it (unconsciously)!!
We taught milk and all done signs first ones they picked up on
I think the I don’t feel well and where is good too.
I love that they can express themselves not alot of tantrums in this household
My son has autism and his first sign was More he is now able to use words but he attends a public school for kids with autism and many of the younger children still can not speak at all. It would be great to win these and give them to the school as they do not have enough of these DVD’s to go around to all of the classrooms.
My babies first sign was for eat.
The first sign that I taught my daughter was “more”. It helped alot when we were starting to feed her solid foods. Helped to determine which foods she liked and which ones she didn’t. If I win these DVDs, they will be the perfect gift for my sis in law for my niece. She is getting to the perfect age to start teaching her the basic signs for communication!
Thanks
I posted about your Baby Signing Time DVD set Giveaway on my Facebook page. Thanks!
I’ve always wanted to teach my baby to sign. I think we could most benefit from her learning to sign eat and more. Simple requests that would be nice for her to be able to tell me. Thanks!
The first sign I taught my children was more then please shortly afterward. I am an Occupational Therapist with infants and toddlers. We have recommended theses videos numerous times. They are great.
“More.”
I’ve tried teaching my toddler several signs but the first she picked up on was “more” and then she added “all done” the next day. I love the Signing Time program!
I let my friends on Facebook know about this giveaway!
The first sign my niece learned was the sign for “All Gone”
Jack learned “thirsty” and I would like to teach “hungry” and “diaper”
Eat and All Done would be the most helpful signs.

My son first learnt the sign “more” after watching Signing Time DVD. He was particularly intrigued by Hopkins the Frog. The next sign that I think would be useful is ‘keep quiet’ as he reaching the ‘terrible two” stage when he tends to scream or shout.
The first sign I ever taught my twins was milk. They make it when they want to nurse 🙂
our first baby is due in March, as a pre-k teacher, i can’t wait to start signing with my child… everyone has recommended signing times though to help us out!
My son first learned the signs for together, friend, drink, eat, more, and his colors. I especially think it is important for infants to start learning early signs for eat, drink, and more. This helps them keep from being so frustrated when they try to communicate with you at early ages. Another great idea is to teach them the signs for the potty functions. This keeps embarrassments when your child “shouts” at the top of their lungs their potty talk in front of people. My son absolutely loves to have a “secret” language he can use with just mom. Especially when I drop him at school and doesn’t want to have to be embarrassed in front of his friends when mom signs I love you and he signs it back. Not a one of them know how to sign. Though he is teaching a best friend!!!!!! And none of our family or friends needs sign language…….. I just decided it was an invaluable tool for him to learn as an infant and we have continued on with it!!!!!!!! Someday he will be multilingual (English/Spanish/Sign Language (ASL) and it will be a wonderful benefit/asset to him!!!)
The first sign we taught out daughter was “finished”. She is 16 months old, has Down Syndrome and a hearing impairments and now knows about 20 signs
I run a daycare and I care for a 2 yr old deaf boy. The first sign he learned was dog. We worked on eat and milk but he was more interested in my dog, Cheyanne I guess you could say she is his favorite sign and favorite toy.
The first sign we learned was More!
My Grandson Morgan is 2 and has CP. The first sign we taught him was please, We have never used signing times but we are very interested in it. We would like to teach him signs for his favorite things to do like sandbox, swing, 4 wheeler etc.
