Sign Language Animations: 6 Food Words
Why teach children sign language? It helps babies learn to communicate before they can talk, and teaches kids to appreciate a language used by some of the deaf community. Start with these easy signs for words about food and eating.

It'd be nice if I could see more than the first slide.

4/15/2011 02:16:25 PM Report AbuseWe started doing signs with our baby at 9 months. By 12 months she knew 50 signs but was also able to verbalize over 50 words. Her vocabulary is amazing. She's now 15 months and says 2 syallable words and occasional 2 word phrases. I attribute a lot of this to early communication. She will sign and verbalize often, but there are some words that are difficult, especially when she is frustrated so signing helps break down those barriers.

2/10/2010 03:53:44 PM Report AbuseMy daughter started signing at approximately 6 months. She could sign more, cat, poopy, and eat. She knew what they meant because whenever she saw a cat, she would sign "cat" and likewise with the others that she learned. She still uses them today and is almost 2 and had learned more words and will sign and say all of them. It was a great way to communicate with her at such a young age.
