The twins still aren't talking very much, although their vocabulary is larger than it was a few months ago. (Well, anything is larger than zero...) The woman from Early Intervention is helping to teach them a few basic hand signs to help them communicate, since they just don't have the speech skills yet. Little One Books has a video called My Baby Can Talk: First Signs. This video invites babies and parents to come on an engaging and interactive journey to discover the first twenty hand signs and words that are most loved by babies - including eat, drink, milk, more, book, go and favorite animals. This program includes a parent tutorial, focusing on key guidelines to inspire babies to sign, and a printed quick reference signing card offering illustrations of the signs presented.My Take
I wish I had had this video back when the twins were 10 months old so I could've started them on hand signing much earlier. I loved the way that the signs were presented with animations, live footage and actual babies doing the signs. I was immediately hooked by the first sign, which was "cat". I LOOOOVE cats, so having one on the screen first thing made me so happy. The twins also seemed to be enjoying the video, although they couldn't sit through the whole 45 minutes (not enough attention span for that). The video is also great for my husband and I to learn the signs easily, so we'll understand if one of the twins learns a sign and starts to use it.
Little One Books has many other books and videos available for children of all ages, many of which are educational. In the My Baby Can Talk series, there are also videos of Sharing Signs and Exploring Signs. If the twins do well learning signs with the First Signs video, I may consider buying the whole set.
Cost: The My Baby Can Talk: First Signs video is $19.99. ($$$$)
Overall: We give Little One Books' My Baby Can Talk: First Signs video a 9/10!
