5.0 out of 5 stars My Baby LOVES Baby Signs!!, September 8, 2006

This is such a cool kit to help you get started with Baby Signs! The Parent Guide is VERY readable and explains the research (that says signing helps boost IQ scores -- I just thought it would be fun!!!), plus HOW and WHEN to start signing with your baby. (Another reviewer said that this kit didn't teach the how -- she either didn't view & read the actual kit or was referring to a different product.) The video dictionary is such a big help in actually seeing another live person do the signs. The baby DVD (which I guess is by the same production company that does the Baby Einstein DVDs) is so cute. My baby AND my older kids really like watching it. Both big brothers have already learned the signs from the DVD & are busy trying to teach them to the baby -- too cute!! The "Signs at a Glance Fipper" has a magnet to stick to the fridge for easy access (for us and babysitters!). Overall a GREAT kit at a GREAT price! Thank you, Baby Signs!!!

This review is from: Baby Signs Complete Starter Kit: Everything You Need to Get Started Signing With Your Baby (Hardcover)

I just received my Baby Signs Complete Starter Kit. I'm thrilled! It 'sealed the deal' on the choice to teach my sign language using the Baby Signs Program. The book tells that this program has hard evidence WHY it works - people, they did 20 years of research! The examples of how it works and what to expect helps me to have realistic goals. The Video Dictionary CD has a beginning section where you 'meet the founders'. This all started with MOMS that happened to be doctors...abd they too questioned whether signing would delay speech (Their research found it accelerated speech development!)
The video dictionary can be watched straight thru or you can scroll to a word. A smiling woman appears and you hear directions on doing the sign (Really helps you remember them) as you see her make the sign.
The Quick flip reference guide is a resource wonderful for me that has magnets to attach to the fridge. Great for babysitters and grandparents when they are over.
The four little books for my baby are just the right size, have 8 pages. I like how the pages that face each other aren't too busy, but focus on a single sign at a time. ie A cute character doing the baby sign for 'cat' with the facing page of the character sweetly with the cat. These are definitely books great at home and that I can slip in my purse or diaper bag to use when we're out, or for use in the car.
The 'Favorites' DVD is fun to watch with my baby. It has upbeat music, puppets, babies actually doing the signs, characters doing the signs and 'Beebo'(a huge fuzzy bear with yellow gloves)too.
I liked the flyer that explained other products and especially classes where I could go & meet other parents doing this same program.
This Kit is definately a keeper!

My son absolutely loves the books, they are heavy cardboard and he cannot rip the pages like he has done to most of his books. My personal favorite is the DVD dictionary, I can either watch each sign in order or skip to a particular sign to see how it's done. I gave the flip chart of signs to my sister since she spends so much time with my son and she keeps it on her fridge. I'm glad my son likes the books but I think Baby Signs needs to come out with some more board books, we've pretty much mastered the ones we already have. We just registered for the 6-week classes too. Can't wait!!!!!!
