This is a MUST HAVE video for any parent wanting to instruct their baby or toddler in sign language! It is easy for parents to learn the basic signs as well as babies. I have yet to see one on the market that compares to this one.
I started showing the video to my daughter when she was about 7-8 months old. As a parent, I have concerns about how much and what my child watches on TV. This video relieved my fears because while it was entertaining, it was slow paced and calming. Using babies captured my daughter's attention and she
began signing herself. At about 1 year old, it was the video she most requested to watch. At about 18 months, I loaned the video to my friend. Incredibly, since then, my daughter began using signs from the video that we never used together! She is now 22 months and I have to laugh when I read that the average 2-3 year old uses 300 words. My daughter was using over 50 at 16 months and now greatly exceeds 300 words. She talks regularly in four-word sentences and sometimes uses 5-6 word sentences. My friends and family are amazed at how developed her verbal skills are for her age. I credit her advanced language skills with her learning sign language. In addition, I have viewed other sign language videos children. The pace was often too fast for a baby or not entertaining for a baby. In addition, many sign language videos do not use ASL which I found disappointing. Who knows if she will ever use ASL in her adult life, but we definitely know she won't have a need for "baby signs."

My main complaint about this DVD is that it is basically a video, but on a DVD. There is no DVD menu to choose which part to play, so you have to watch the introduction and tutorial parts (or fast forward through them) each time. I liked "My Baby Can Talk" better. That said, the content of the video is good. If it had a more user-friendly format on the DVD, I would like it a lot.

My daughter is handicapped and has virtually no speech. We had tried other signing videos but she learned none of the signs.

After getting Baby See 'N Sign our daughter finally started using some of the basic signs.

Baby See N Sign has been great. It is my daughter's FAVORITE thing to watch. She is captivated by the combinaton of bright colors, live video clips of babies and toddlers and accompanying sounds. Baby See N Sign gives me an opportunity to learn for myself and to teach my daughter at the same time. It is very easy to use and my daughter (7 months) already recgonizes many signs. My husband is currently participating now that he sees her ability to understand and react to signing. LOVE IT!

I bought this for my non-verbal autistic son for christmas. He loves this dvd and has picked up ALL the signs. He is now in the begining stages of talking, and he has also picked up all of the words with the signs. Excellent DVD! Will recommend over and over!

I'm the mother of a 6 month old. We just received our Baby See 'N Sign DVDs Volumes I & II. Not only is the menu very user-friendly, but between the 2 volumes they cover over 200 signs! The signs are repeated 3 times (once in slow-motion) for slow learners like me! The set is loaded with objects, sounds and picture after picture of little ones! These DVDs cover more signs than any others I have looked at. I really like how the signs are presented, not just for me, but for my baby too. She is captured by the sights and sounds and signs! I can't wait till she starts signing with me! I can tell she is learning as she watches!

I'm an early childhood educator, always looking for products and activities to enhance development and communication. This one is not one of my favorites. Once a child is signing, this may be a good choice as it presents a larger vocabulary than most other signing videos. But the presentation is pretty straightforward, with most of the signs shown by an adult. Pretty boring for kids, I think. But maybe a good tool for parents to learn signs to share with their kids. The best of this genre is the "My Baby Can Talk" series.

LOVE both Volume 1 and 2! Used Vol 1 with our now 4 yr old with great success. Now am using both volumes with our 8-mo old. And the 4yr even sits down with his baby brother and tries to teach him the signs when the DVDs are playing. Highly recommend both!!!

I got this for our 5-month old, who is now 17 months old. In the beginning, I left it on as background noise. One day, my son said "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapple." He definitely picked that up from is dvd. He knew how to identify many objects because of the dvd. We have volume 2 too and at 17-months old, he's mastered 90% of the signs in vol. 1 and about 50% of the signs in vol. 2. He selects what he likes to identify and learns the signs and words. In our case, signing definitely helped him start speaking early rather than delaying his speech development.

Good video. Clear hand signs, easy to use in everyday life, good video images of the meaning of the word and sign. Useful for my 4yr. old, speech delayed/non-verbal child affected by autism. Great for my 2.5yr old who picked up on it instantly. Also bought vol.2, good choice...recommend Baby Wordsworth (baby einstein video) and Signing Time Kids...
