My son loves the flash cards! The poster is hanging up in our house and we refer to it often. The guide book was a very quick read with lots of useful information. We also reference the signs book regularly to learn common signs we could be using. Thank you!

Love the flash cards. Do you have alphabet flash cards?

Glad you love the flash cards, Anne! Our New Dictionary: L Words include individual pages for Letters A through Z. On each newly designed page, feel free to download and print the corresponding Letter Flash Card. Cheers!

Used this system for my second son who is now 18. He has excelled at languages, maths and physics. He has won scholarships for school and university. He is artistic and musical and enjoys sports. He was able to communicate from 9 months old so as a result was never frustrated as he told us when he was tired, thirsty etc. We started the system from 3 months and at 9 months he combined 2 words together. He saw a swimming pool and signed ‘big bath’. I am convinced Baby sign language gave him a head start and he keep improving on it. My son is living proof and I had to buy it again for a friends daughter, and well, she is 3 now and has the assessed comprehension of a 5 year old and speaks 3 languages. Worth every penny, all children should have access to this.
Luis O. (verified owner) –
Product as expected (And I had high expectations). Great looking cards nice poster and a good basic variety of items to start signing with your child. First time parents, no previous ASL knowledge. We get to learn with our Child and at 11 months we could see him starting to repeat some common signs. Very exciting we absolutely love it! But like anything, you have to stick with it, consistency is the key. Very satisfied , Thank you!
Patricia Franklin (verified owner) –
I really appreciate the size of these cards they are large enough to see but not to bulky, so I am able to carry them around and match them to the item in the picture to the real item very easily. I also like the simplicity of the pictures they use. Detailed enough you know what it is but not to “busy” that it is distracting. My favorite thing about these cards would be the object is on the front, and the sign is on the back. So I am able to keep eye contact with him while also glancing at the back of the card to look at the side with the instruction on how to do the sign very easily.
NATALIE R EVANS (verified owner) –
Love these solid flash cards. They are a staple for my twin granddaughters as we integrate sign language into their daily living.

We LOVE our Baby Sign Language kit. It has been so helpful in teaching our little guy how to communicate with us. We got the kit when he was first born and took time to learn the basic signs we thought would be beneficial. When he was about 4-6 months old we started signing to him when we would say one of the basic signs we learned. When he was about a year old he signed his first sign (more) and from there he quickly starting signing the rest of the basic signs we learning. Now at 18 months he uses a combination of both signs and words to let us know what he wants. We have found that it helps communicate better and in turn we have less melt downs!
We use a combination of all the products to help teach both the basic signs and new signs. My husband and I use the dictionary to look up signs, the flash cards are great for reviewing signs that our son already knows. We use the chart for grandparents/babysitters so they can also communicate with him. The guide book helped us to learn how to teach him to sign. This kit was definitely well worth the money!
Tim (verified owner) –
Great product. We only really needed the dictionary in order to expand our vocabulary since we had already learned the basics with a local mom group. But we still took the larger package in order to give the poster and flashcards to the Grand Parents so that they can practice and communicate with baby as well.
Though baby only started to sign back at 12 months, ASL has been tremendously helpful, especially since we are a trilingual household and it helped bridging the 3 spoken languages in baby’s mind.
Definitely highly recommend practicing ASL early on (or later) with all babies, and though I cannot vouch for the method offered, the content provided by babysignlanguage.com is definitely valuable.
Rebekah Ruhle (verified owner) –
Love this product. My daughter learned way more signs than her peers and they were easy to teach. She was able to confidently communicate a broad array of ideas at a very early age and we avoided a lot of frustration by teaching her signs. She is now two and still remembers them while we are teaching her little twin sisters.
Raquel (verified owner) –
This kit is fantastic. We have been using it for two years now, it is one of those purchases that truly pay off. The guide gave the adults confidence, the flashcards made our LO interested and the dictionary helped us expand vocabulary once the first 52 signs were mastered. Signing helped us communicate while our LO was still figuring out how to speak. At 18 months, a point where most toddlers are expected to say around 20 words, we were using +150 signs!
The only way this kit could be improved would be more flashcards, we all loved them and wished there were more.
Again, this was an amazing tool for the whole family and a life saver many times. I have recommended it to my friends and they all loved it too!
J Glass (verified owner) –
My youngest has Down Syndrome and is non verbal. I started teaching him baby signs as a way to communicate so neither of us got frustrated. This is still his primary mode of communication and he enjoys learning new signs for things he sees out and about. I highly recommend!
Yolanda (verified owner) –
This was absolutely a life saver for myself and my son. He struggled with language and I decided to teach him simple signs so he could communicate. I had no real experience with sign language and this kit was easy to understand and also the online component shows short clips of a person signing which I found to be helpful. The cards are strong and durable for little hands. My son was 1 when I used these. He is now three. His language has improved but he loves going through guide book and looking at the large print letters. We go through the alphabet several times. He had a special education teacher and speech and language pathologist from Birth to Three help him with language and they were really impressed with this kit as well. They wanted to share it with others families. This really was very crucial to my son being able to communicate and he picked up on the signs very quickly and was able to use them well independently. He was able to request items he was familiar with and communicate things he saw on his trips the park. I would definitely recommend this kit for all ages. It helped me learn a lot as well.
Fannette –
We are a bilingual family (french and English) living in London. I’ve started signing to my little boy when he was 5 months. I finally decided to buy this kit when he turned 15months as he could sign “eat, drink, more and tired”. Well since using the flash cards I have seem tremendous progress in his signing. One month later he can now sign 15 words by himself. Some signs are quite similar like “butterfly and bread”, or “more and banana” but context does help. There is no tantrum at home and when he wakes up crying in the night he just signs that he wants to drink, drinks and goes to sleep. Amazing as I would never have thought a baby would want water at night. My friend and family are amazed when they see him sign “dog” or “banana” and I feel so proud of him. So I wanted to say thank you so much for all your hard work. Keep working on it and add more vocabulary, especially fruit and veg that my boy loves. We love using sign language!!! 👌🏻💕

I purchased this set to help expand growth development and aid my children in meeting milestones. I knew this product with a built in ritual would be very helpful. The use of the poster, workbook, and flash cards help to make learning more realistic and enable engagement between and child and parent. My family enjoyed learning time with me while I was educating myself and I was able to have fun signing. Pictures were clear and colorful.
Lindsay Lipcsak (verified owner) –
We bought this shortly after our daughter was born in 2016. She is 18 months and knows several signs now and communicates primarily through sign. It was a life saver early on before she learned how to point. However, I will say that I feel sign language has possibly stunted her speech development since it is much easier than speech itself. We are still working hard to get her talking, but we rarely have miscommunication issues and I feel we have avoided many tantrums because of sign. I love the flash cards, the books and the poster. She loves looking at the images and trying to copy them.
ADMIN – Hi Lindsay,
Speech is always the path of least resistance. Baby sign language rarely delays speech, instead it helps children that would have otherwise have slight delays in speech have a means to communicate early on.
David (verified owner) –
I never regretted this purchase for a second. If you’re thinking about it, just go for it. We had a lot of fun with the flashcards, which we purchased for our daughter when she was about 12 months old. She picked up a lot of the signs over the next 3-6 months. Then she started saying words, and we stopped using sign language, cuz… well, she was talking. But she still plays with the flashcards (they’re well crafted, and not one has been destroyed). Overall, this was a solid tool to teach and bond with our daughter. I highly recommend you use it, along with other fun letter puzzles, number puzzles, etc., and you can’t go wrong.
Monica R (verified owner) –
We loved this kit and recommend it to our friends! We started using the signs on the wall chart (mainly, “eat”, “milk”, “more” and “all done”) with our daughter when she was 4 months. By 6 months she would regularly use them to ask for milk and more of whatever she wanted at the moment. The book that comes with the kit is great for learning the alphabet and numbers too.
Paul Guerrero –
We bought this kit to educate us, the parents, so we could reinforce the signing that our daughter was learning from our nanny. The kit is very comprehensive for educating yourself and teaching appropriate signs to kids. It is a new language (most likely), so don’t expect it to be easy. Taking a 3 dimensional movement and making it a static 2D picture is challenging. You will have to think and learn, but this kit helped us a lot. Especially, the wall chart and the flash cards. Our daughter was signing consistently with 20 plus words by 4 months. Here is the kicker, if you are committed to teaching an infant sign language, you get the benefit of a happier baby able to communicate their basic needs, and you give your child a jump start on language development. Today, at 4 years old, our daughter is not using her sign language at all, but she will likely skip kindergarten due to her language and numbers and she is picking up Spanish like crazy. It pays off and well worth the modest costs to help educate the parents!
Yanzza Negron –
I love the concept. I have been using the flash cards and videos. I wish it had an app that teaches the words or have the videos more accessible because I would be able to learn as well as my boy when we are out and about in down time. Love the flash cards they are our favorite.
Roxane –
Completly satisfied! I hoped I have got that for my 2firsts kids! So much more understanding of my third’s need!
Selah Cross –
Our two-year-old grandson was having a hard time learning to form words, so we taught him a few basic signs that had helped our son many years ago. He was so excited to be able to communicate specific concepts even though he couldn’t make his words understood! The world opened up to him and he could participate by signing. He caught on very quickly to the signs we taught him through the poster and flashcards. He loves to sit and go through the cards just for fun, and remembers almost all of the signs. Just in the last few months, he suddenly began experimenting much more with sounding words out. It isn’t work to him — it’s a wonderful game that engages him with other people. Since we’ve always combined the signs with the auditory words, we can figure out what he’s trying to sound out because he’s doing the signs for us. The Baby Sign Language Dictionary is also very helpful, expanding our vocabulary to abstract concepts (“how?”), adjectives, adverbs, and verbs. The dictionary is all nouns, which is an excellent starting point for children anyway. The photographs and artwork are clear and easy to understand, and the signer has a sweet and pleasant manner that charms us all. Our whole family enjoys interacting with our grandson through signs, especially since he is so enthusiastic about it. Basic sign language has also been extremely helpful to us over the years when we’ve needed to say something to the kids but couldn’t talk out loud (“sit down” in church, “water!” when in a coughing fit, “come here” across a noisy room, and so much more!). We also have a chart from somewhere else with the alphabet hand signs, and our grandson can recognize many letters on shirts or signs, speak the letter, sign it, and even assign his own nicknames for family members using their initials. You will be amazed to discover the vast amount of comprehension your small child has once you give him the tools to communicate it! All the Baby Sign Language materials have high-quality construction that makes them durable, attractive, and easy to use. We just LOVE it!
Tamaryn Hurly –
This product and whole concept changed our whole parenting experience. It is the best thing we ever did for our daughter – being able to clearly communicate with her from as early as 9months was brilliant. It eased any tantrums and gave us an insight into how differently she viewed the world. I can’t speak or recommend this highly enough! If you have any doubts, forget them – and invest the time to do this for your child and yourself.
Beth –
I love the sign language kit. Great quality products. The flash cards are strong cardboard, which is great for little hands and mouths. Very happy with my purchase.
Mirella Kacinskis –
I bought this for my first child (we started late, when she was about ten months old) and now I can’t wait to use it with my second, which is due February. The material is high quality, the flash cards are holding up for THREE years of frequent use. My daughter loves to play with them. First, I would use them to successfully help her learn to sign (unfortunately I didn’t catch that on video). Then, we would use it when she was learning her words and soon moved to using them with her sorting skills (she would sort them into similar colors, shapes, animals, objects). She also likes to use them to “teach” things to people (she copies what I would do with her). Now she is learning a second language and we still use them to learn words. I told her we are going to use them to teach things to her little sister and she is thrilled. So I think that they are going to be used for a few years still.
I never used the poster, but that is because we just signed at home (me and my husband) and I didn’t suggest doing it in her daycare.
I used the dictionary several times, especially if we noticed that a particular word was important to our family and baby. It was always at hand and ready to be consulted, but I did use the videos a lot, too.
The teaching guide was essential to teach us exactly how to implement baby signing at home and by following the guide it was very easy and we were extremely successful. I feel our daughter did suffer less frustration than she would have without signing, because at one point she would sign almost every conversation. She still uses the “please” sign when she wants to be emphatic (like in pleeeeeaaasseeee – accompanied by the sign). I also noticed that the first words she spoke were the ones she knew how to sign.
Ultimately, I am more than pleased with the product and the program.
Mariana –
I love the kit. Unfortunately, I can’t use the flash cards with my daughter because she chews on everything. I use Baby Sign Language to gap the bridge between the two languages my daughter is constantly exposed to. I speak Spanish as first language, my mom watches my daughter while I’m at work and she speaks in Spanish to her all the time. My husband does not speak any Spanish at all. Therefore, he speaks in English to our daughter. Sign language has become handy for those times when our daughter is trying to ask for something. It’s been incredible and even moving to see my daughter being able to communicate. And you can see the happiness in her eyes when she sees that we understand what she’s trying to say. I would recommend Baby Sign Language products to any parent any day, most especially when it’s a bilingual home.
Marie –
What a great system! We startted signing when C was 10 months. By 14 months he was communicating his needs with us very clearly! I was amazed by how quickly and eagerly he wanted to learn. Being able to understand what your baby wants can save you so many tantrums! We are a trilingual family and the signing only helped him more. He couls sign with my mom in Spanish, with me in French and with friends in English! (We used the same signs and made sure caregivers were up to date with the signs!) Overall it’s a system I recommend to ALL my friends and family with babies. The kit is complete, it has everything you need. And my son still loves the flash cards! I can’t wait to start baby sign language with my 5 month old. Older brother is very excited as well!
Elizabeth –
This product was super helpful! As a new parent, one of the biggest stressors is trying to figure out Baby’s needs. Signing, in addition to speaking, and then showing, accelerated our communication. What a relief! Try it – it works.
Joni Peebles –
I love Baby Sign Language! I started signing to her at around 6 months and it took a few months for her to sign anything back, but she still understood them. Sometimes I will sign something many times with her never doing it herself and then out of the blue she’ll see that thing and do the sign. So she absorbs it but just waits to reciprocate sometimes. Right now, at 21 months, she knows about 40 signs and uses them all the time, since she doesn’t yet speak too much. She is easily able to tell us what she needs and it has made her very confident and much less frustrated. My husband questioned teaching her signs at first, but the first time he didn’t know what she wanted and she was able to tell him that she wanted to eat, he was a believer. I strongly feel that it has kept her from having tantrums as well, since we understand her and she can express herself. She makes up her own signs for things sometimes, too, if the real sign is too hard for her or I don’t know what the right one is at the time. She also loves the flashcards and can sign them just from the pictures without me saying the words. What a valuable resource, I highly recommend it!
Secret Agent Man –
My baby absolutely refused to learn sign language, no matter how consistently we performed all the signs, which we memorized easily thanks to the placing the supplied materials throughout the house. Also, he cried all the time, and pooped a lot, and wouldn’t sleep, and keeps pulling the cat’s tail to this day (#1456, give or take.) Nevertheless, it wasn’t for any fault of the Standard Kit, which was a terrific product.
Nikki –
We purchased this kit when our twins were only a few months old in the hope that it would allow earlier communication and help us to avoid tantrums. It lived up to expectations and more. Even with just a few basic signs like “eat”, “drink”, “more”, we were able to discern what they desired faster and they were so happy that they could tell us their needs. They love the flash cards and even now that they are two years they still enjoy playing with them. Some are chewed around the edges, but none are bent or broken. Now that our twins are older we have progressed to the older Signing Time videos are they love them too. I even saw my daughter singing the theme song to herself and doing the signs along with the verbal singing. I would highly recommend Two Little Hands products to anyone. It is a very engaging and enjoyable way for both children and adults to learn sign.
Alex Witt –
I purchased the flash cards, the teaching guide book, and the wall chart. The flash cards are probably one of the favorite products I have ever purchased for the kids. We are a multi-language household, and I have used these with the kids for various languages, including sign language. The product is extremely well made.
Ly-ann (verified owner) –
The flash cards are great, I think the poster COULD be helpful if you have lots of different people caring for your baby. The manual is possibly helpful too for some ideas and guidance but the dictionary seems like excess since even in the book it suggests to look online at the video for an example. I ended up referring online to the visual example as the printed ones’ sometimes didn’t quite make sense to me.
Andrew –
We started using the Baby Sign Language Standard Kit with our little one at around 4 months.
Too. Much. Fun.
At first, he seemed to just enjoy ‘hand game time’, laughing and smiling but not really understanding we were trying to communicate. After about a month, little Tintin realised it was more than a game and after 6 months of use, he’s pretty good with ‘milk’, ‘water’, ‘nappy’ and ‘sleep’. There are others that he uses occasionally, but these four are regulars… and at his age, those four magic words cover a lot of situations!
My one regret, should have started the little one on it earlier. Ultimately, loved the product so much, bought one for my sister! My wife and my sister got pregnant around the same day – double happiness!
Thank you Lila and the Baby Sign team.
Smiles from Shanghai,

I bought the standard baby sign language kit for my twin 2 year old girls. They were having significant speech delay and we were experiencing a lot of speech frustration through out the day. I’m happy to report this program helped us tremendously. My girls picked up the signs quickly! And the flash cards are brilliant. My husband and I even used them on a long car trip to learn all the signs. Baby Sign Language truly picked words a baby/toddler uses frequently. I’m thankful for this company in finally helping me be able to communicate with my girls. They began making great strides in speech development once their frustration level dramatically decreased. A year later, they are speaking age appropriately BUT they still love to use their signs as well! 🙂 <3
Deborah Miller, PersonaGrata Consulting –
I gave this product the highest of ratings because from start to finish, my impression of the product and this company was fantastic! My questions were answered by Baby Sign Language staff with enthusiasm and genuine passion for spreading the benefits of using sign language for any family. The products arrived quickly (even being shipped to Canada) and the quality of the products and user friendly teaching method exceeded my expectations. This is a rare combination of excellence in consumer products. Congratulations Baby Sign Language!
Janna Jensen –
From everything I’ve seen, I am pretty sure that our daughter is much less prone to tantrums and way more observant about the world, since she has language to describe what she’s seeing. She’s starting to combine signs in sentence-like combos now. Other non-signing kids are barely able to speak enough words to say that they’re hungry. She’s also speaking more words than the other kids too. She speaks while signing now. It helps us interpret the baby-talk. All in all, I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Love, love, love!
Laura –
My daughter is not quite one year old and already knows over a dozen signs, and I cannot imagine life without baby sign language. She is so chatty! When we walk down the street she points out trees, birds, and dogs, and she can easily tell us when she wants milk, food, crackers, cheese, or a diaper change. Seriously, I don’t know how people parent a pre-verbal child who does not know baby sign language! The kit was really the most helpful learning tool we had. My daughter loves playing with the flashcards, looking at all the pictures, and naming the signs she knows. I really do recommend the Deluxe kit whole heartedly!!
Lill K. Stormoen –
I like the kit. We use the flashcards and the dictionary is nice to have. I’m volunteering on translating it to Norwegian if that’s a possibility.
Rhonda –
Not sure why, but I thought I was getting a video with the set that I ordered. To be honest, the illustrations are a little difficult to follow for someone brand new to signing. I saw the Rachel Coleman video recently advertised, that looks wonderful, and I wish I would have spent the money on that instead, but now I am hesitant to spend more money here as the money I already spent is pretty much wasted. I am going to look for the PBS show.

Jennifer –
Overall, this kit is a great introduction to sign language. I bought this and started teaching my daughter at around 7 months of age. It took her a few months to catch on, but now at 16 months, her ability to communicate through signs is truly incredible! She seems to be able to communicate about 80% of what she wants to say, which really cuts down on her frustration level (and mine!). The flash cards in this kit are very sturdy and fun for her to practice her signs with. The sign dictionary is also an invaluable resource and something I reference often when I know she is ready for a new sign (seems like she adds 1-2 new ones a day lately). I will say that I wish this kit came with videos– I don’t let her watch very much TV, but I did purchase her some sign videos from another site (Baby Signing Time) that I thought were are a great complement to this deluxe kit. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase!
Carolyn –
I read a book on baby sign language and was working with my 8 month old daughter for nearly two months but she wasn’t getting it. I was so disappointed and frustrated. I came to this site and asked a few questions. I got a very quick response and decided to order the kit. My goal was to teach my daughter just the critical signs to help her communicate with me. I read the book, changed my approach slightly and my daughter started signing! I was so excited – it worked!! One day she started playing with the flash cards so I showed her a few signs. A week later, I said one of the words and she gave me the sign for it! I was shocked! At 14 months, she knows at least 30 signs and loves signing. She points to planes and birds in her story books and does the sign. I use the dictionary often to look up words and my daughter loves playing with the flash cards. The Deluxe Kit is the way to go! I love that when my daughter gets fussy in the car I can ask her what is wrong and she signs a response.

Very pleased with our sign language kit. There’s a great guide book on how to incorporate signing into daily lives. Its easy to use and thorough. Happy with our purchase.
