AAP endorses the use of baby sign language

The following is a quote from a chapter on signing in a recently published parenting book issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics, Heading Home with your Newborn (2011):




This endorsement is also referenced in a recent Momformation blog entitled "Baby Signing Develops Language" by Dr. Lisa Dana on the Momformation blog - here's the link: http://blogs.babycenter.com/mom_stories/baby-signing-promotes-infant-development/

Thanksgiving Craft

Here's a little video on how to make a turkey out of a paper plate, construction paper, post-its, and hole reinforcers for those of you who need a craft to keep little ones busy while the turkey is cooking. If you don't have construction paper, you can always grab some crayons and color it instead! Have a great day tomorrow!

Thanksgivng Craft Class Today

I'm looking forward to the Thanksgiving Craft Class at 4:15 today! We will learn Thanksgiving vocabulary signs and make a turkey craft or two! Come spend some quality time with your 1 to 4 year old learning and making. We'll be making turkeys instead of cooking them - much more fun in my opinion! It's at Our Little World - http://www.ourlittleworldshop.com/ .

Thanksgiving Sign Requests

Here's some signs that were requested for talking about family:

FAMILY, GRANDMA, GRANPA, AUNT, UNCLE, COUSIN(female). and COUSIN(male).

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Do you know the signs for THANKSGIVING, TURKEY, and PILGRIM? Watch this video from Signing Time to learn or review them! And come join Lorraine and I for a Toddler/Preschool Thanksgiving Signs and Crafts class Monday November 22nd at 4:15pm at Our Little World for more Thanksgiving fun!
