For many parts of the country this is turning out to be a super early spring. It is beautiful outside and that means it is finally time for outdoor play focused on discovery and the development of motor skills.
We love the change of seasons, with it we receive the gift of new experiences, a gift that we can pass along to our little ones
Get your baby a pair of wellies, gardening clogs or even a pair of old shoes and head outside to enjoy the sunshine and share some experiential learning
Take Time To Smell The Flowers
Exploring the explosion of blooms will give you the opportunity to teach your baby signs for objects such as flower and leaf. You can also teach your baby about their senses by teaching them signs like smell and see.
Walk After The Rain
I have distinct memories of a childhood well lived. My mother always made time to take us for walks right after spring showers. Dressed for the occasion with the most lovely rain boots we headed out to jump in water puddles. When it rains we can teach our babies signs like rainbow, rain and wet.
Plant a Vegetable Garden
This is my absolute favorite activity. When we plant a garden our babies have the opportunity to witness growth and learn about patience and care. We created a really neat guide with printables to help you plant a garden and teach your baby relevant gardening and vegetables baby signs. You can find the post here.
Go To The Park
You may not be able to go on epic vacations but everyone has a park nearby to enjoy. Take your little one to the park and learn signs like picnic, park, playground and even ice cream.
Discover Your Own Backyard
Why not take time to look for snails, fly a kite or play with a ball in your own backyard. Embracing the simple things in life can be a great tool to teach your baby meaningful and relevant signs that will amplify their communication skills and help you both develop a deeper bond.
In addition to thousands of free printables and mini video tutorials you can also order a Premium Baby Sign Language Kit. Our kits contain 12 beautiful resources like DVDs with songs and durable flash cards to give your baby the best tools to accelerate learning.
