Tuesday’s Top Tip 😁…. What does your baby love to watch and what gets them excited in the world around them? 😍 If you observe your little one closely you’ll see, just like us grown ups, there are some things they are more drawn to than others.

🤩 If they’re excited by something, they’ll be more motivated to use the sign - so introduce signs for those things into your baby signing early on as well as the signs that are most useful to you.😁

Using the signs, words, and of course the funny noises they may make, for animals 🐶🐷🦁🦆🐴, vehicles 🚙🚲✈️🚂 and people 👵👦👨‍🦳👶 can often really engage your baby and give them the tools to tell you what they love. 🥰

Love from Sing and Sign x

This week in Ennerdale Bridge, Cockermouth, Whitehaven and Lamplugh...

Our Babes families have been focusing on "commenting" and how to instigate those first two way communications with your baby. 👶

Our Stage 1s have been focusing on ‘going out' and learning a range of signs about the world around them. 🚗🚲✈️🏫

Our Stage 2s have been focusing on 'opposites'! All things big, small, up, down, in, out, round and round!

Are you interested in joining us? Have you heard from some of our families how invaluable signing is to your daily routines? We still have spaces in some of our venues, so if you want to try a week's trial drop me a message. Alternatively, book your course space here;

This week at Sing and Sign...

Our Babes have been learning about the importance of facial expression for early communication.

Our Stage 1s have been focusing on ‘WHERE’. We demonstrate this sign every week with Jessie Cat 🐾 and once mastered opens up opportunities for so many games and interactions with your little one.

Our Stage 2s have been focusing on the weather, which is very fitting given our current wild weather! ☁️ ☀️ 🌧️ ❄️ 🌬️ We teach your toddlers key weather signs to help them describe what's happening in the world around them.

Are you interested in joining us? Have you heard from some of our families how invaluable signing is to your daily routines? We still have spaces in some of our venues, so if you want to try a week's trial drop me a message. Alternatively, book your course space here;
