5.0 out of 5 stars The best sign language video for babies and toddlers!, January 2, 2006

This review is from: The Treasure Chest Toys and Signs (DVD)

I have purchased many sign language videos for babies and toddlers and this one is easily the best one out there for babies 6-36 mths. old. For older children 18-24 mths. + I would recommend the Signing Time series.

This is set up in a Baby Einstein-type style where it shows engaging visuals as well as a bear and children producing the signs. Unlike the Baby Signs videos it uses all ASL signs which has a lot of benefits. It includes over 35 ASL signs as well, unlike the Baby Signs videos that only include 6-10 "signs" per DVD.

This DVD has kept my son as well as my daycare children totally engaged. By 2 years old my son and two of my daycare children who were also 2 yrs. old would sign every sign along with the DVD. Young babies and toddlers alike seem to love this video and many ask for it by signing BEAR.

Another great thing about this DVD is that there is an info piece at the end where Dr. Anthony gives you tips and information about how to introduce the signs to your baby throughout the day as well.

The only criticism I have of this DVD is it is obviously an amateur production as far as it is not as polished looking as the Baby Einstein series. You can easily tell they did not have a huge production budget. That being said it is upbeat and fun and although as an adult you might groan at the cheesy looking bear, the kids absolutely LOVE this video and it is the best one I've seen yet out there for babies and toddlers.

I definitely recommend you get the DVD and not the VHS because this is likely to become a favourite in your home and if you get the VHS it will probably wear out very quickly!

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!, July 3, 2004

AWESOME!!!

When I started to sign with my son I purchased this video along with MANY other childrens signing videos. Of all the videos this is the ONLY one which captured his attention AND reinforced the signs we were learning. My son loved the signing bear and the music which plays throughout the video. This video is set up very much like the Baby Einstein series videos. The only difference is that signs are introduced.

My son, now 3 years old, will still request to watch the video (even though he knows all of the signs in the video). If you are going to invest your money in a signing video this is most certainly the video to buy.

My 10-month-old son loves this video. Unlike so many other babies, he did not enjoy Baby Einstein at all, and would cry after a few minutes of it. But he sits and watches this video very intently. He really likes the bear and all the kids. The parent segment at the end, which explains how to begin signing with your baby, is very helpful. I would definitely recommend this video to all parents.
