Baby Signing Time is Back

Liam and I had the opportunity to review the two newest additions to the Baby Signing Time series, “Volume 3: A New Day” and “Volume 4: Let’s Be Friends”. The songs are fun and upbeat. Rachel adds a little extra pizzazz to the songs in these DVD’s. My husband even noticed that the songs are a little more mature. “Strollin” in Volume 3, is one of Liam’s new favorites. As you would expect from the Signing Time DVD’s there is repetition, to help with learning the new signs. The use of families and children in everyday situations helps toddlers recognize objects and make sense of the new signs being introduced. Overall, the format is the same as in Volumes 1 & 2.

Liam was fixated on the television when we first watched them. He picked up new signs immediately. By the end he was signing “pear” and “music”. He dances to the songs and enjoyed seeing the same animated characters as in the first two volumes. I like that these DVDs build on the signs previously learned. Rachel uses some of the signs from the first two DVDs, while teaching lots of new ones. I also felt that the signs in the new DVDs are very appropriate. Months ago, I had purchased a couple of the Signing Time DVDs that are intended for older children. I wanted to teach Liam some of the signs I felt he needed to learn. All of the signs I wanted him to learn are in the new Baby Signing Time DVDs. Too bad they weren’t out then! The Signing Time series has helped Liam learn lots of sings. He is now 16 months old and has over 50 signs. We LOVE Signing Time!

Here's a little bit from Volume 4!
