Summer Signs Poster

Here's a FREE poster with signs for summer from Dr Linda Acredolo and Dr. Susan Goodwyn, Founders of Baby Signs, Inc. You can download, print and even share it with others! Of course, OUTSIDE isn't really one I want to do much here in the desert right now, except at night after the sun goes down!

Just a reminder, Lorraine and I are on vacation from Baby Play and Sign Saturday mornings for the month of August, but we will try to keep posting and sending you little things like this to keep you going while we're gone.

Happy Signing!

Let's Sign and Say "FIve Little Monkeys"

Hi! Beebo here. I love doing fingerplays and poems, and using signs with them makes it even better! It's also a great way to teach signs to our little ones. Click on the capitalized words in the Five Little Monkeys poem for the sign. Remember, you don't have to do all of the signs, sometimes less is more! You might want to just do the sign for monkey and head and phone call at first.

FIVE LITTLE MONKEYS JUMPING on the BED.
ONE FELL off and bumped (HIT) (HURT) his HEAD.
MAMA called (PHONE) the DOCTOR and the DOCTOR SAID
NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPING on the BED.

Happy Signing!

I can't believe it's already the middle of summer, and boy is it hot out here in the desert for a furry little bear like me! But it's all good when you jump into a nice cool pool!

Click on these words to learn some summer signs.
