Baby sign language is a fantastically simple and informal communication style for all babies to use before they start to talk. From as early as six months old, they are able to recognise signs and associate them with words.

Developed with baby sign language consultant, Dr Etel Leit, PhD, MS, this board book is an excellent tool to facilitate this understanding between parent and baby as they navigate things like weaning, bedtime, and a flourishing independence.

As well as the benefits of being able to understand your baby before they can talk, childhood development experts have said that teaching baby sign language helps to encourage and accelerate all babies' spoken language development too.

Each page features a word, a detailed drawing of how to sign it in baby sign language and a written instruction for the parent too, as well as lots of bright See, Touch, Feel artwork and photographs of smiling, happy babies.
