Baby Signing Time DVD and CD Collection

I bought these for my 10 month old nephew, and within a few weeks he was signing basic signs like food, more, milk, and more! He loves these DVDs!!

My daughter is 13 months and isn't allowed to watch really any TV except for Baby Signing Time. I purchased this set for my daughter for Christmas after visiting with a friend whose almost two year old could communicate SO well with signs. I couldn't believe all the things he could say through signs that other children that age just couldn't say with words. I own and operate an in-home child care, so I am now teaching the signs to the children in my care of all ages. It can never hurt a child to have multiple ways of expressing their thoughts!My daughter was slow to pick up the signs from about 10-12 months, but ever since then, she has been learning about 2 new signs a week, and I'm sure she can understand a lot more of them than what she will actually sign back. She amazes people with her abilities and it has definitely not impeded upon her ability to speak. She amazes people with her manners as she loves to say "please," "thank you," "you're welcome," as well as many other words. I believe Baby Signing Time has just helped her communicate through signs and taught her new words we may not have taught her yet (ball, boat, train, etc.) had we not watched the videos with her.I love that the set comes with CDs as well so we could just listen to the songs once we are very familiar with the signs and continue our learning that way. All babies should learn sign language! It's so invaluable!

If you are looking for a signing series for children that gives the foundational and functional vocabulary to your child, look no further. Rachel and the baby signing times videos makes it easy for parent and child to develop together. Each video is full of songs and signs made simple. The real-people showing the modified signs they use show there is no perfect way to sign these signs as babies. The songs are so amazingly catchy you find yourself singing along with you hands and voice. As a teacher of the deaf, I found these useful with my younger students but I purchased it for my own baby.My son took his time with the videos. He didn't initially want to sign, he would just watch and dance to the music. I continued the path of showing the video once a day. What I noticed is he would respond to the signs before he ever attempted to sign one time. If I signed milk to him, he would become excited and happily drank. Soon, he began to sign things he really wanted: cracker, milk, drink, eat, mommy. He cried less because he was able to communicate and be understood. Once he started talking, he used signing less but he still at age 3.5 still remembers the signs and uses them when he wants.I highly suggest using it with your baby. Less frustration and it's wonderful watching their language develop well before they are able to speak.

I am so thankful for these DVD's. My daughter loves them and is signing like crazy at 16 months. She doesn't have a huge vocabulary yet and these DVDs have given her the ability to communicate things that she is not yet able to vocalize. She signs for "baby signing time" when she wants to watch them or listen to the CD's. I can't help but think about all the wonderful "conversations" with her I would be missing out on if I hadn't purchased these. Because of these materials, I have insight into what she is thinking about, what reaches her and makes an impression on her. We are a family that sings a lot and the songs, cartoons, and real kids using the signs is the perfect combination for her to stay interested and learn something new every time we watch one. CDs are great for being in the car and help to calm her when she's getting bored. Best purchase I have made for her!

I bought these when my daughter was about 4 months. We have only watched the 1st DVD so far, so that is why I have only rated this as 4 stars. My daughter loves watching the other babies' faces, so this signing video definitely keeps her attention, much more so than the animated baby sign flash cards we play with on my iPad from time to time. Your baby will learn the signs faster if you watch the video and sign along with him or her. For instance, during the song about drinking, I always have a glass of water near by and am sure to sign to her that 'mommy is drinking water' while the video is playing the 'drink' song. So yes, you should watch this video with your children so you can lean the signs and use them with baby, I try to avoid using this video as ababy sitter, although it sure is tempting sometimes. If she loves the other DVDs as much as the first, this will be a 5 star product.UPDATE: It's official - these DVDs are awesome! My daughter just turned 7 months old and started signing 'milk' to me this week while she was drinking a bottle. Now I can ask her by signing if she wants milk and if she doesn't she just looks at me, but if she does she signs milk back to me. It is so amazing that she can communicate with me now on some level. She gets really excited now everytime we watch one of the DVDs.

I ordered this DVD set for my 13 month son at the time. He loves this set. After two days watching first DVD, he started signing for "drink" and "more". I was surprized how quick he picked up. He is now 20 months old and still these are his favorate DVDs. I also bought Wordworld but he prefer to watch signing time. So I ordered signing time practice which teach him ABCs and 123s but he doesn't like to watch it too long. Maybe he is too young for that. Before he started watching this, I let him watch "your baby can read" since he was 3 month old. No, he didn't learn how to read but, he learned all his body parts from that DVDs. I don't play after we got signing time but he still knows all his body parts. Our family was impressed that he knows all his body parts at 8 month. Another DVD he really likes is "Letter factory" but not as much as signing time. Anyways, I would highly recommend this to every mom who wants to communicate with their little one.

My son loves watching these videos and has even started signing a few things back to the babies on the TV. He is 9 months old so I am thrilled with this. Be prepared; the songs will get stuck in your head and drive you crazy!

An awesome resource, we love signing time! Fast shipping and item arrived in great condition.

Recieved in like new condition. Delivered way faster than estimated date. Very pleased with purchase Thanks

Love these!

While I think the price is too high for this set, it IS a great way for baby to learn basic signs. My little one has learnt over 20 signs from watching these, and is still picking up new ones every time we watch!Five star content, three star price = 4* overall
