National Love Your Pet Day is Coming Up

February 20 is National Love Your Pet Day. Pet owners do love their extra family members! This is a day to celebrate our pets and to show them some extra love.

Having Fun with Animal Signs

The learning aspect of sign language has been well covered in the white paper: Signing With Babies and Children. From cognitive development to language acquisition and early literacy skills, signing offers great ways to support your baby right up through the elementary years. But what good is all that learning without some fun? We here at Signing Time believe that children should be able to wiggle and giggle their way right through learning, and that’s just what we strive to support. Three of our best videos for learning through play are  included in the Signing Time Animal Signs DVD Set: Volumes 7 – 9. In …
