Learn Our Top Winter Baby Signs: Winter Apparel

Yesterday we worked on our first set of winter signs for babies and toddlers. We learned how to sign wind, snow and cold and also had a few opportunities to engage our little ones in activities and crafts. You can see the post here.

Today we are going to tackle winter clothing. Toddlers begin to show interest in undressing at about 15 to 18 months of age. Undressing is significantly easier than dressing and likely to happen earlier. Between 20 and 28 months your toddler will develop sufficient gross and fine motor skills as well as cognitive abilities that will equip them to tackle self-care such as dressing and basic personal hygiene.

Even if your little one will not begin dressing until he or she is a little older you can begin teaching the signs for clothing as early as 12 months old. Winter clothing is particularly intriguing for babies and toddlers making it easy to engage in the learning process.

How to Teach Winter Clothing Signs?

Our two favorite methods to teach winter clothing is by getting baby ready to go outside and signing the items of clothing prior to putting them on. We also love paper dolls and baby dolls with winter clothes. Let your toddler help out by attempting to dress the baby doll.

Another great opportunity to learn signs for winter clothing is while storing laundry. Let your toddler help you out with small tasks such as carrying clothes from one location to another. Do not expect perfection and remember that the idea behind allowing a toddler to help is mainly about their learning journey.

Now let’s get our printers ready and keep building on our awesome winter baby sign language flash card collection:

Baby sign language sign for sweater.

Baby sign language sign for gloves.

Baby sign language sign for hat.

Baby sign language sign for coat.

 

We hope you enjoy learning four new winter signs. If you have not yet added Signing Time volume III titled A New Day consider purchasing a copy. The DVD covers outside signs such as weather times of the day and animals.

The Best Signs to Teach Your Baby Just How Much You Love Him

Love

Love is in the air. If you have little ones in school, the whole week has been about the tender exchange of friendship tokens in shades of pink and red. If you are new to motherhood, chances are you are your wee little one is keeping you busy and sleepless as you both discover one of the most beautiful and limitless expressions of love: Motherhood.

The baby sign language community is made up parents, caregivers and teachers that care deeply about the emotional and intellectual development of their babies and you are among those. On a daily basis we receive emails with questions from parents seeking to teach their little ones the signs that matter most. How you prioritize the signs you will teach your little one is based on the specific needs of each child, and the way they interact with their surroundings. Selecting their basic vocabulary is at its very core an act of love. If you just joined our community or you are searching for the next 100 signs to teach your toddler consider this:

Show Your Little Ones How Much You Love Them By Teaching Signs That Empower
The central goal of baby sign language is to provide your pre-verbal child with the communication tools that will equip them to express their needs with minimal frustration. We have found that relational signs such as mom, dad, milk, eat, more and all done are particularly useful in empowering your baby and reducing the likelihood of emotional meltdowns.

Show Your Little Ones How Much You Love Them By Teaching Signs of Discovery
Growing up is about expanding your world and learning new things. For a little baby or toddler discovery can be as simple as a walk to the park where he or she can learn new signs like playground, tree,flower and run.

Show Your Little Ones How Much You Love Them By Teaching Signs That Encourage Nutritional Variety
According to some studies babies begin forming food preferences at the womb. They also become accustomed to the flavors present in breast milk resulting from mom’s nutritional choices. Little ones are also influenced by what they see us eat and are more likely to try something out in the context of imitation. Take time to explore new fruits and vegetables and equip your babies with the proper signs to help them ask for their favorites. Consider signs such as avocado or a blueberries (a favorite when given frozen to alleviate teething issues).

Show Your Little Ones How Much You Love Them By Teaching Signs That Point to Fun Activities
Baby signs can and should go beyond the basics. Include signs that engage your little ones in fun activities such as dance, bubbles, kite or art. Learning how to have fun will encourage self esteem and will prepare your little ones to engage more effectively in social contexts such as play group.

Show Your Little Ones How Much You Love Them By Teaching Signs to Pair with Reading
Perhaps you live in a city where your little one will not have a chance to see the ocean or you are out in the countryside where your babies may never ride a taxi. Look for age-appropriate books that expand how your baby sees the world. Introduce them to astronomy by learning how to sign star and moon and why not consider spending time learning to sign different farm animals like goat, duck and chicken.

Show Your Little Ones How Much You Love Them By Teaching Signs of Comfort
Consider the importance of showing your little ones to give and receive affection. Introduce signs such as hug,I love you and kiss.

Sarah learned her first 10 signs at six month and it made our lives much easier. Instead of screaming, she could tell us when she was hungry, thirsty, or tired. She learned another 50 signs by nine months and that was a blast. Now she is talking much earlier than the other children in her preschool and we think it is because of her signing.

We can’t imagine missing out on all the little things she shared with baby sign language. Thank You!

The Well-Rounded Baby – Five Life Skills You Can Enhance Through Baby Signing

 

With 2017 just around the corner each of us is busy thinking about resolutions and putting together plans to make our lives and the lives of those around us better and more beautiful. For those of us with babies our greatest desire is to give them every chance we can to have a successful and well-adjusted life. As we work to shape little ones whose mind and heart is set in learning and loving here are a few skills that can be enhanced by the use of baby sign language to reinforce concepts and behaviors:

Teach Your Baby About Trust

 

Trust

This is a relational concept that will influence the life and character of your son or daughter for many years to come. To build trust always respond to immediate needs in ways that are consistent and positive. Engage in physical activities such as play that show your little one that they can rely on your responses for safety and continuity.

Our favorite signs to teach baby when we are learning about trust:

Jump

High

Okay

Teach Your Baby to be a Listener

Listen

Our ability to listen to others and the world around us empowers us to be relational and helps us stay safe and alert. Good listening skills also impact our child’s ability to learn and memorize information. Make it a point to engage your babies in activities conducive to listening to music, sounds and speech.

Our favorite signs to teach our babies to listen:

Listen

Music

Quiet

Teach Your Baby to Embrace Fun

Fun

Babies are born with a natural ability to embrace joy. Shortly after birth  our babies learn to respond with smiles and before we know they begin to seek activities and relationships that trigger pleasure, joy and fun. It is essential that we invest time with our baby exposing him or her to experiences that trigger joy through having fun

Our favorite signs to help our babies discover fun:

Laugh

Play

Funny

Teach Your Baby About Independence and Autonomy

Autonomy

Independence and autonomy covers almost every life skill. As your baby grows it is essential that every moment is conducive to learning skills that facilitate autonomy. Spend time allowing your baby to explore things like eating on their own, getting dressed or imitating household or work-related chores. Always give your little one praise for their effort even if the results are less than perfect.

Our favorite signs related to autonomy and life skills:

Dress up

Try

Good

Teach Your Baby About Friendship

Friendship

We are by our very nature social creatures. Spending time and effort teaching our babies the rules of engagement and emotional responses associated to friendship will set a foundation that will help them throughout their lives.

We love these signs that reinforce friendship:

Love

Hug

Share

You, along with baby are about to enter a season of discovery where everything is new and magical. As a parent or caregiver you will have abundant opportunities to stimulate learning. One of our favorite activities and one that is deeply loved by every little one we meet is learning to identify farm animals, responding with the sign and mimicking the appropriate sound.

Learning farm animal sounds can be done interactively during a farm visit, at home through songs and rhymes or at school during group activities. We loved using puppets as well as flash cards.

Join us today and let’s learn just a few of our favorite farm animal sounds and signs:

Sarah learned her first 10 signs at six month and it made our lives much easier. Instead of screaming, she could tell us when she was hungry, thirsty, or tired. She learned another 50 signs by nine months and that was a blast. Now she is talking much earlier than the other children in her preschool and we think it is because of her signing.

We can’t imagine missing out on all the little things she shared with baby sign language. Thank You!

Everyone thought I was nuts when I started. A month later, all my friends saw Michelle’s first signs. Then they wanted to know how they could start.

Michelle is talking now and doesn’t sign much anymore, but it gave her a headstart over other children her age. Everyone says she talks like a three year old. Now she is helping me teach her baby brother Jordan how to sign.
