Einini Early Years Baby Signing

Musical signing for babies, toddlers and beyond!
For all families with little ones learning the magic of language and communication – whatever age or stage they are at. We use songs, rhymes, musical instruments, toys and puppets to help learn simple signs so that you can use them at home.
Whether you’re singing, playing, listening to a story or catching bubbles together, it’s the ideal time to bond and relax with your little ones. Older siblings love it too, as learning a few simple signs can be a magical way to communicate with the new baby in the family – who will soon be signing back to you!

Using signs gives another element to the spoken word and enables youngsters
to communicate with their hands before they can fully verbalise what they want or how they might be feeling. Babies just love it, it’s like experiencing language in 3-D. The signs we use are based on common signs used in baby signing, as well as Lámh and ISL.
