I feel like a silly writer-character in the old joke, who gets so many positive responses for his own novel, that decides to go and read it himself. I’ve passed on the recommendations to get Signing Times videos to many-many-many parents, who later became huge fans of these videos. Recently I found them on the YouTube: Caterpillar Dreams. I was enchanted: beautiful singing, excellent signing (yep, siGNing), charming illustrations, adorable kids. What more could you expect? But that’s not all! I really love that all the words in the songs are shown as signs, not only “key words”, so a lot more signs are picked up along the way. I absolutely love, that while new signs are introduced, the words are written on the screen, so it aids learning to read as well! This video definitely deserves two thumbs up! (Oh-oh, I should go and find the video with the right sign…)

Now… we are all hooked on it: my older one is peeking behind baby’s shoulder as we watch the new signs and he wants “to teach Mommy”. All of a sudden we have a true explosion of signs: all of us – my baby-Smiles (yes!!!), my four-year-old-Sunshine and even me – are eager to try it!

There are plenty of little videos available in the related window at the Youtube, or you can order the DVDs. You can find more information at Signing Time
