Baby Einstein - My First Signs [DVD]

I have taught all of my hearing grandchildren to sign and I was hopeful that this third DVD in the Baby Einstein language series would be added to our language library. Although the word selection is better than the previous two videos in this series, I was disappointed with the format. The format does not hold the attention of my grandchildren and it is does not offer the repetition necessary to learn spoken words or sign language. Several words and signs are presented in rapid succession followed by extended scenes for each word. Then the same words and signs are presented again by a child who is clearly old enough to be speaking. The program also lacks a tutorial for grandparents and parents who are teaching their babies to use sign language for the first time. All of my grandchildren have learned to sign and speak from the My Baby Can Talk series and I would recommend this series for babies who cannot yet speak or are just learning to speak.

Came fast and exactly as described I was thrilled with the price.

I love Baby Einstein movies. And though none of my kiddos are babies any longer, we still watch the Dvds. I really love watching My First Signs with my kids. I like Marlee Matlin. The characters are bright and funny and the music is fun and upbeat.

Good :)

My daughter is 17 and she remembers watching this and how much she learned. I made this purchase for my niece! It is something they enjoy watching but very educational.

I like that this movie teaches my baby his first signs. He hasnt started using any yet but he is only 6 months old. He does like watching the video.

Great way to communicate with your baby when they dont know how to speak yet The dvd covers to teach basic needs in sign language, my baby is only 3 months but already watched so when she is around 8 months her brain will be more familiarized with the signs and she will be able to communicate. my older son learned it too, specially when his grandpa is actually deaf, makes him proud.

Granddaughter loved it !

We love all the Baby Einstein videoes. This is the second video with sign language, and our kids were not only excited to see it, but picked up all the signs very quickly.

Both my daughters and I enjoy this. It is a good start to learning baby sign language. The show includes signs for mommy, daddy, baby, milk, blanket, and others. I only wish it also included brother, sister, grandma, and grandpa. Otherwise, it seems to engage young minds and allow them to practice signs right along with the show.
