Sign Babies ASL Flash Cards, Set One: First Words [Cards]

Sign Babies (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2004

Sign Babies Flash Cards introduce American Sign Language (ASL) signs for the words that babies and small children need most.

The eye-catching illustrations help young children to recognize common objects, actions, and emotions. Parents and educators can use the cards to facilitate learning signs that children can use to communicate before they can speak.

The flash cards can be presented individually to facilitate learning signs or in a 4 x 6 photo album to create a custom "book" that focuses on the words and concepts children are learning. The ASL sign and hint on the back side help adults remember the signs.

This is a great introduction for parents that don't know sign. I know a bit but my wife doesn't know any and these cards have been a good introduction for her and a good way to help her use the signs with our baby.

I can only give 4 stars, however, because the material the cards are made of is pretty flimsy...especially when the baby gets ahold of them. And since the purpose is for both the parents and the baby to see and use the cards, I can't understand why the cards don't come laminated.

Fortunately, I saw a suggestion online to get the cards laminated BEFORE showing them to the baby. I took the cards to Kinko's and got them laminated in about 10 minutes for less than $10. And then my wife and I had to cut the cards out ourselves. I would recommend you consider the cost and time of lamination for these cards if you plan to let your baby even look at them.

We have been teaching our 11 month old son sign language for the last 3 months. These flashcards have been a great tool to reinforce what we have been teaching him (besides helping me remember how to actually do the sign). He is very entertained by the pictures as they are so inviting to young children. He will sit and look through them for quite a while and I know he is grasping the concept as he signs back at some of them.
I would recommend these flash cards to anyone who is signing with their hearing child to help alleviate communication frustration between parent and child.

The best thing about the Sign Babies cards is that my twins AND I could both use them. I enjoyed signing with my first child and used a different signing book. But with my twins, the Sign Babies cards help the little ones learn the signs even faster. I can show them the sign, and the babies can look at the picture at the same time. A GREAT product. I've laminated my cards to make them "drool proof." I'd definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to sign with her babies. Well worth the money.
