Sign Of The Week - BEAR


Whether visiting our friend BeeBo, the Baby Signs BEAR, or reading about a BEAR in a favorite story, the sign BEAR can be a fun animal sign to use. Does your baby have a teddy BEAR? This sign can be used to tell you when the special BEAR is missing or needed for comfort.

This is also a great sign to use with the "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?" book!  Click here to see the illustrator of this book read it on the Reading Is Fundamental website!

To sign BEAR, cross arms and make clawing motion at chest.

We're Going To Africa!

News from BeeBo:  This summer I am going on tour - to AFRICA!  Actually it's a missions trip, but I will be going along to sign and sing with the children, and do all I can!  I have never been on an airplane before, so I am a little scared!  But I am so excited about being able to help children in Swaziland with HOPEALIVE268.  And Lorraine is excited to be going back to Swaziland where she grew up - it's been over 30 years since she was last there!  That's WAY too long she says!
