Today’s spotlight sign is swings.

A trip to the park is full of opportunities to build your toddler's communication skills. Whether they're asking for "more", waiting for a turn, or excited to go on the swings, signing key words alongside speech can help them understand and express themselves.

Next time you're at the park, try using the sign for swing. Repeating the sign in context helps reinforce learning and makes playtime even more interactive.

Communication starts long before a child says their first words. Babies and toddlers naturally use eye contact, gestures, facial expressions and sounds to share what they want, need and feel.

Using signs alongside speech gives children another way to express themselves while their spoken language is developing. Signs can help children understand words, make choices and join in with everyday conversations.

For example, a child can use signs for:
🍌 More
🥤 Drink
🧸 Teddy
🚗 Car
🙋 Help

Signing doesn’t replace speech, it supports it. By seeing and using signs alongside spoken words, children are encouraged to connect communication with meaning and build confidence in sharing their ideas.

Every little sign is a step towards communication.

Holidays are full of exciting new experiences, but keeping familiar routines can help toddlers feel secure and confident and Signalong can be part of those everyday moments wherever you are.

Keep using the signs your child knows, whether you’re talking about eating breakfast, getting dressed, going to bed, or saying hello and goodbye. These familiar signs can help make changes to routines easier to understand.

A holiday is also a great opportunity to introduce new signs linked to the things you see and do! 🌊

Try signing:
🐚 Beach
🦀 Crab
🍦 Ice cream
✈️ Plane
🏊 Swim
🏨 Hotel

Play is a wonderful opportunity for communication!

From building towers and playing with dolls to exploring outdoors and creating imaginary worlds, play gives children so many chances to share ideas, make choices and connect with others.

Adding signs during play helps support communication by giving children another way to express what they want, need and feel. A simple sign for more, finished, help, like, stop, want or play can make those moments even more meaningful.

Remember, signing doesn’t replace speech, it supports children by giving them a way to communicate while their language skills develop.

So next time you’re playing together, try adding a few signs and see how your child responds!

Toddlers often become frustrated when they can't express what they need. Using simple signs can help them communicate before emotions escalate.

Try teaching signs such as:
👋 Help
🥤 Drink
🍎 Eat
⏹️ Finished
➕ More
😴 Sleep/Tired
💔 Sad
🚫 Stop

When children have a way to communicate their needs, they often feel more understood, reducing frustration and supporting emotional regulation.

Today’s sign spotlight is Splash.

Splashing in water is a fun way for children to explore through touch, sound, and movement.

Whether they're making little splashes or big ones, they're learning about cause and effect while developing their sensory skills, engagement, and communication.
