Baby Sign Online Webinar

Waving.. Kisses... Pointing... Clapping... these are all ways babies and toddlers can communicate using gestures. To maximise this exciting development phase, teach your little one key signs which can help them communicate earlier and more easily.  

Signing can also help babies and toddlers reduce frustration, express their needs and wants, develop key communication skills and have lots of fun too!

This is an introductory session to 'Signing with your Little One' and is a great opportunity to help get you started.

It is ideal for parents with babies and toddlers who are still learning to speak.

This online and interactive class hosted by Sign & Rhyme will cover:

  • How to effectively sign with your Little One
  • The benefits for your child and your family
  • Tips on how to build signing into your day
  • Signing with books and songs
  • Recommended signs to start with

This session is scheduled for 7:30pm and will take a maximum of 1.5 hours which includes time for questions and answers at the end.  As signing is a great family activity, other parents/caregivers in the same household are welcome to join you - they can also hear first hand what signing can offer your family, see clips of little ones signing and learn some signs to use with your little one.

This session is run by Kirsty from Sign & Rhyme
