Need some suggestions?

Baby Signing Time is a great gift to give at a Baby Shower, to new parents or even for Baby's First birthday or Christmas.

Potty Time is like a continuation of the Baby Signing Time series so it is popular with infants/toddlers but the topics - about growing and the body - also speak to the preschool crowd.

Signing Time is loved by toddlers up through early elementary kids. Signing Time 2 Vol. 4: My Favorite Season includes holiday signs. Move and Groove is great to keep on hand for snow days when the kids are stuck inside but need to burn off some energy!

Anyone love books? The board books are some of our favorites!

The new line - Rachel and the Treeschoolers - inspires curiosity in preschoolers/kindergartners. The first 3 episodes are ready to go. Be the first to share them with the curious child in your life!

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is coming next week. Do you have your turkey ready?

Here are some of our favorite Thanksgiving related books: Little Lessons Thanksgiving Books

And Thanksgiving signs:
 

Sign of the Week - Grass 今週の手話は「grass」です。

This week the Sign of the Week from Signing Time is "grass"! 今週の手話は「grass」です。

 Children of all ages are interested in understanding the world around them so having signs such as "wind" "sun" and "grass" can help them to tell you what they are seeing and thinking about!

 Here are some videos from Two Little Hands where you can learn other signs to go with "grass":
Baby Signing Time Vol. 3 A New Day 
Series 2 Vol. 5 Going Outside 

Books for practicing the sign for "wind":
"Grass"のサインを練習するためのおすすめ絵本:
What Do You See Outside? (Baby Signing Time!) By Emilie De Azevedo Brown
Going Out from Child's Play

Activity:
Take a walk, practice signing what you see.
Here are some of the things we found on a Outside Signs walk in a recent BST class.
