Baby Signing Time Volume 2: Here I Go DVD

My daughter was 3 yrs old when we got these DVDs. She absolutely loved watching the babies, especially baby Hopkins. At first she was used to the format of Signing Time Vol 1-3 so it took her a couple of times to show interest in Baby Signing Time. The beginning of the video is more upbeat, with more movement and towards the end it mellows down, in terms of music. The signs are super easy for babies and the songs just tie everything together. Highly recommended for the under 4 crowd.

I got volume 1 at my baby shower and started playing it when my daughter was 3 months old. She didnt start doing any signs until just before her first birthday, but the DVD always kept her interest and made her laugh so kept playing it for her. As soon as she learned her first sign she began using at least half of the signs in the DVD within a month. At that time I got her volume 2 and she loves it just as much. I will say these signs arent as practical as the ones from Vol 1, but still very engaging and fun! She is now 14 months old and seems to use a new sign every day. I am especially impressed that she uses signs that I hardly ever use myself (the first few she picked up were ones that I really tried to reinforce by using daily when I talk with her). She also has caught onto a few signs that I started using that were not in either of the videos because shes used the the idea of using sign language. I love being able to know what she is thinking and asking for and knowing that she understands me when I want to say something to her through signing. It makes me a little sad for other parents who dont get to experience this kind of communication!

My 1 year-old loves this! The songs arent quite as catchy as in Vol. 1, but still very good. The signs that are taught are very timely for my dauthers age: please, thank you, bath, sleep, brush teeth, ball, etc.

We have Baby Signing Time Volumes 1 and 2. Volume 1 is much more fun and engaging - at least to our baby. The music in Vol. 2 is a little less catchy, and the signs taught arent as relevant (other than Please, Thank You, Sorry) Our baby loves Volume 1 so much, and seems less interested in Vol. 2 that we mostly play Vol. 1 for him.

My 15 month old has loved the Baby Einstein First Signs video for months now. She, therefore, knows all the signs and was getting bored with it so I thought this one may be comparable. Not so much... The signs are accurate and the presentation is ok, but it does not interest my little girl. The music and fast pace of the video is also annoying if youre used to the calmer theme of the Einstein video. I will continue using this video in hopes that she may start to like it one day - but no luck in the month since we got it! The signs taught are good ones for little ones to know - but this video series (I also have the Signing Time Everyday Signs video) does not get the attention of my little one. UPDATE 2/2/09- since my review just a few days ago my little one has decided she likes this video! she has asked to watch it for 3 days in a row now and she has started imitating some of the signs. it still annoys me and my thoughts on the video are still the same, however, i will reconsider my plans to not purchase any other ones....we may end up with another signing time video in our house one day.

My 14 month old granddaughter learned to communicate with my daughter by signing. Her wants and needs were communicated with no problem. She was able to learn 38 words through signing.

Baby Signing Time is simply amazing - our 14 month old can communicate using sign so effectively. She asks fro food and water and lets us know when she is tired. She loves to talk about shoes and socks. we already have the next video in the series. I recommend this to any parent.

My 2 year old grandson loved the first volume. Now we watch this one together also, learning the signs together. The combination of real people including little ones signing, with songs, combine with animation make the videos fun, attention grabbing, and an easy way to learn and reinforce the signs.definintely a winner. Will also be purchasing the next 2 volumes.

My son loves these. He started watching them around 6 months old. It was a great way to communicate until he started talking. Are friends werent sure what do think when we told them he was watching signing DVDs but then when they say he could sign what he wanted and what he say outside they were very impressed. My son is now over 2 years old and still loves to watch these. Even though he is talking up a storm he still likes to sign. It is a great learning tool. I would highly recommend.

This is great for the child AND the parent!
