Signing time Rocks My son loves this, we went to the apple orchard this weekend and he tld me about all the animals using sign!
What's all the fuss about???? I got 6 DVD's already and consider my purchase HUGE waste of money. Even though DVD's run in themes, you don't get all the words for the theme, rather you get a mix of words that don't really connect to each other when you watch the DVD. Music is boring, presentation is boring. My son got excited when I sat him in front of the TV for this, we just started signing to him and he was very interested, but was out of the room in 2 minutes and never paid attention to it again. I watched it and found the music annoying, people signing over and over, you can see their mouth is saying the signing word but you can't hear it, how annoying. Only couple of songs on each DVD, it's mostly people signing over and over in a BORING way. It's also very expensive for what you get. $15-20 per half an hour program. Ouch. They make you buy all the DVD's by cleverly spreading the important words in all the DVD's. We wounded up finding a great ASL dictionary online for FREE and use that to look up words that we want to use, rather than what is given to us. That works great and 2 months later our son can sign 40 words and he is only 16 months old.
My toddler dances along This whole series is great for a child who has some vocabulary and is starting to interact socially. Some of the finger-spelling is better for an older child--or for the parent who's watching along. My 16-month-old especially likes the ones with lots of animal names. Leah's Farm has lots of farm animals and also several backyard animals like squirrels and frogs. There is plenty of video of the actual animals, which is nice for kids who are still learning what they are.
There's great music on this DVD, and my little girl dances along even if she doesn't get all the signs. It's fun for me to watch too!
Signing Time: Leah's Farm My son, not yet two years old absolutely LOVES this video. He wants to watch it everyday. He has learned so much from it and even shows the animal signs he has learned here when reading other books. The songs are silly and fun. A GREAT way to introduce animal signs to children and their parents.
Sign the animals GREAT dvd! My 23 month old loves this dvd. Although he's not really talking he's learning the signs for the animals. I would say this dvd is more for older kids. For example, my son wouldn't know the differece between a chicken and a rooster at this age. Great idea to add the non-farm animals too. The songs are great and our entire family ends up humming on of the signing time songs!
