TinyTalk - Ringwood & Fordingbridge

TinyTalk - Ringwood & Fordingbridge Fun, friendly baby signing & toddler talking classes; helping you communicate with your child using simple SSE signs. Signing babies are happy babies.

As a parent, you know that the hardest time is when baby cries and you cannot understand what they are trying to tell you. Are they hungry, thirsty, in pain or do they just need a cuddle? From as early as 6 months old, babies can start to communicate using British Sign Language (BSL) signs. Just as you can teach them to clap, wave bye-bye and to play peek-a-boo, you can also teach them to sign well before intelligible speech begins. Learn to communicate with your baby before they can speak, at an award-winning TinyTalk baby signing class. What can you expect at a TinyTalk class?

• Weekly themes such as bedtime, family or a trip to the park give you the signs you need to share baby’s world and daily routine, using British Sign Language (BSL) signs.

• An interactive music class featuring well-known nursery rhymes, action songs, specially composed music and instruments.

• Hands-on sensory activities delight your baby and develop all-round communication skills such as vocalising, listening and taking turns. They also stimulate your baby’s senses, encourage their tracking skills and develop their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

• Time to relax with a cuppa and make new friends whilst your baby enjoys social playtime.

• Classes are appropriate for babies from birth up to around 24 months. Babies can understand so much before they can talk. Help them express themselves with baby signing.

FAQ: So, what actually happens in a TinyTalk baby signing class? 👶💬🎶

If you’ve never been to a TinyTalk class before, you might be wondering what to expect. Is it lots of sitting still? Lots of repetition? Are the babies expected to behave perfectly?

Absolutely not! 😂

TinyTalk is a relaxed, fun hour where babies and grown-ups can learn, play, sing, explore and socialise together - and there’s plenty of flexibility along the way.

💬 We learn some signs together

Each week has a different theme, and we introduce a handful of useful BSL signs alongside the spoken words. We practise them through songs, games and everyday activities, so you’re learning without it feeling like a lesson.

🎶 There’s LOTS of singing

Nursery rhymes, action songs and familiar favourites are a big part of our sessions. Adding signs to songs gives little ones lots of opportunities to watch, copy and join in at their own pace.

🫧 We play and explore

Bubbles, scarves, mirrors, parachutes and other sensory activities help keep little ones interested while giving them opportunities to explore movement, sounds, textures and visual experiences.

☕ And then there’s the grown-up bit…

Because TinyTalk isn’t just about baby signing. It’s also about finding your people.

There’s time to chat, have a cuppa, enjoy a biscuit and let the little ones play together. It’s a lovely opportunity to meet other parents/caregivers who are navigating the same wonderful (and sometimes slightly chaotic!) stage of life.

And most importantly…

There is absolutely no expectation that your baby will sit still for an hour! 🙌

Need to feed? Go for it.
Need to cuddle? Of course.
Need to walk around? Absolutely.
Need a little break? That’s fine too.

Come as you are, do what works for you and your little one, and enjoy the hour together. ❤️

Because at TinyTalk, we’re aiming for fun, connection and lots of lovely little moments.

Your baby has entered the chat. 👀🫶

They may not be talking yet…
but that doesn’t mean they don’t have plenty to say. 😂

Babies can understand words before they’re able to say them. Their brains are ready to communicate but the skills needed for speech are still developing.

And here’s the really interesting bit…

Babies can develop useful control of their hands before they have the precise coordination needed for spoken words. Speech is actually a surprisingly complex motor skill, involving precise coordination of the lips, tongue, jaw and breath. 👅

That’s where signing can make a real difference. 🤍

When we pair a simple sign with a spoken word, babies can start showing us what they want, need, see and feel - before they’re able to say those words themselves.

And it’s not just beneficial for baby. Signing can help parents and caregivers:

❤️ Understand what their baby is trying to communicate
🤝 Reduce frustration for everyone
😊 Build confidence and connection
🌱 Support early language development
👀 Create more opportunities for meaningful interaction

And perhaps one of the best things?

Signing doesn’t replace speech - it gives babies another way to communicate while their spoken language develops. 🗣️

Just watch this little one using their hands to communicate… 💛

Because sometimes those tiny hands have a LOT to say.🥰
