TinyTalk Baby Signing

It's not uncommon for a baby to learn the 'dog' sign, then call all 4 legged animals a dog. It's OK, still praise your baby's effort with a "Yes it does look a bit like a dog but this is a 'sheep' / 'cow' / 'tiger'”, and use the appropriate sign. They basically haven't learnt that there are many categories they have to distinguish between. It becomes a great opportunity to teach them other animal signs.

Today’s is another example:

"When Dan was a baby he frantically signed 'bird' during a nappy change. It turned out he was alerting me to an ENORMOUS wasp in the bathroom! Thank goodness he could tell me before it stung us!"

At TinyTalk we don’t expect the little ones to sit still — that’s just not how most of them learn! 💜

After 23 years of classes, we’ve definitely got singing and signing down to an art — even with little ones climbing all over our teachers! We can assure you they absolutely love it when the little ones crawl to the front, make a grab for the props or simply decide their teacher makes the perfect seat.

TinyTalk is all about relaxed, child-led learning. If your baby’s off exploring, it means they feel happy, safe, and secure — a real credit to you! And even if they seem busy, they’re still soaking up everything around them. Like magic! 💜

“Alexia is now signing ‘flower', but instead of sniffing she breathes out. No noise, just a little haa haa, it's very cute. However, the poor child nearly hyperventilated at church a couple of weeks ago as there were bouquets ALL OVER THE CHURCH. Every time we went near them she went haa haa!! I had to take her out in the end!!"

It’s never too early to join a TinyTalk class!

12 day old Albie proved this when he joined a TinyTalk Devon baby class, with his proud big sister Betsy as well as his (super) mummy and daddy, just before the half term break.
